Engaging the New Domestic Hatred

As we wind down overseas wars, the homegrown hate is going to concentrate its energies on fellow Americans. Progressives need to see this illness in American culture as something to be engaged as seriously as we have engaged philosophies of hate overseas. This will need all our skills. Obama cannot do this alone in the next 8 years. Especially because they are likely to increasingly make him a target as a black man. Paul Krugman’s oped is a good read on this.
