But I think the bigger stumbling block will be your second point. The urge to just put it behind us is so powerful, and we've never really resisted it before. Not with Native people, not with Japanese-American internment, certainly not with anything related to slavery/Jim Crow/systemic racism as a whole.

If Trump actually does get impeached, count how many people think the idea of President Pence would "at least get us back to normal." I don't want to "get back to normal," normal got us here to begin with and won't stop it the next time. But that's my great fear, that we try and sweep everything under the rug and just "move forward."
