Yes, Chris Jones is very smart and a joy to listen to. He should be our governor now, if it weren't for champion liar Huckabee Sanders, her henchmen and the Arkansas press, which could easily belong to the OAN network with their incredibly biased reporting or no reporting at all on subjects they don't like.
As Heather Cox Richardson made the comparison, in her most recent Letters From an American (6/20/25), the actions taken by DHS in enforcing immigration round ups have some similarities to behaviors associated with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). It's one more piece in Trump's attempt to spread hate and fear throughout society to consolidate power under the unitary executive theory, with the ultimate goal of creating an authoritarian rule.
"Can we fix this? Do we even want to?" Certainly the GOP Congress and the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court do not want to. Unfortunately, it took the Court 50 years to end Jim Crow and the evils of that time. How long will it be before another Court or Congress ends these evil times?
Fear is one of a human's most basic instincts. The power of demonization if rooted in convincing or leading people to be fearful. The easiest targets are those that are in a minority and convince those in the majority that there is a reason to be fearful of them. This form of manipulation has been used for ions to gain power. The sad part is that it was recognized and the US passed laws and developed customs and rules to try and overcome the use of demonization and isolation. Sadly, all of this now is at risk. There is now an attempt to institutionalize demonization at is now the right wings call for anti-DEI. The most effective way to combat demonization of others is through experience. contact and openness.
I don't know if you're a bot or just a pathetic human being. I don't know anyone who is perfect; but I do know going to church doesn't mean your'e perfect nor does it make you perfect. Personally, I'm an atheist.
Some additional insights along these lines came up during April Ryan's talk with Chris Jones yesterday. That is one smart man, and a joy to listen to.

Calling for the murder of anyone is not ok.
Actually, when my daughter was 4 she introduced me to one of her friends: 'this is my dad he's white, but my mom is brown". So get bent.
Good for you, see you at church tomorrow with all the perfect people.

Good on you, Nickie. I’m pretty sure we would have a pretty good time sitting at the bar any day of the week. Happy Sunday.
