It’s good that the diversity of the government is growing, but it’s important to note that is almost solely due to the Democrats. Republicans sent more women, but when it comes to non-whites, non-LGBT, there are only a few scattered Republicans in offices. The difference in the diversity between the two parties is really an issue, and it’s the root of why the Republicans serve the white supremacists…without them they can’t win. Until the Republican party decides to become diverse in exchange for ditching white supremacy, we’ll continue to have the divisive politics we’ve had for the past two decades.
