sorry, it is unbelievable to me that anyone could look at the actual actions and rhetoric of the trump administration and conclude that its statements about “colorblindness” are anything other than rhetoric

The seat of government, the lawful power of its core institutions, where the Constitution lives or dies, isn't in doing a cable news hit, or a press release, or a viral video. It is on the floors of Congress in the United States Capitol. Make them fight you there, where the fight belongs.

But that is what's at stake. You are being transformed into a rubber-stamp fake legislature, with no real power, an advisory body at best. And the whole point of such sham assemblies is they let autocrats say see, look we have a legislature. You can only break the illusion by making a mockery of it.

But even worse is those at or from those prestigious locations believe the bullshit themselves, and therefore cannot take any direct criticism, or acknowledge a point from, anyone from a “less than” institution

Besides it being horrific and wrong, the extent to which my oppositional defiance kicks in when I hear “and no one can do anything about it” confirms for me there will indeed be many of us doing something about it
