Some people's vision are the stuff of moral leadership, and others are the stuff of moral complacency. Some people make progress like Lawrence v Texas, and other people say "blah blah privilege, I'm so tired of hearing this stuff." But it's hard to believe they are the same person in one. One wonders whether you would hope that those who are suffering stop their shrillness because you are really tired of hearing about the blah blah privilege.
But from the outside perspective, America's democracy looks complacent. It appears as if a major aspect of the American political game is wondering whether black people or Latinos are going to vote more. What a game. There's a nasty smell here, and one wonders the degree to which people might carry on amid that nasty smell because they are so very tired of the blah blah.
America already has a culture of avoiding political talk in person. Is it working? Does American democracy smell healthier than ever?
And if second gen Latin Americans vote more conservatively and if more blacks start voting conservatively is that a good of a bad thing? (Compared to how they voted for people who are now lauded in the press and by Obama as good conservatives like Bush and Romney)
