Making Lemonade
America still wins. Biden is still president.
Make some lemonade - the QOP is about to split in two.
This is the Democratic generation before us.
America isn’t breaking. It is evolving.
The people who won’t adapt to change into what America means to be a melting pot, they will “die” (figurative, ideological death, to be clear)
Anecdotal evidence: I am 29 yo, female, very gay-looking, also very gay - AND I am ALSO a Daughter of the American Revolution from my dads side ...got here with the Great Puritan Migration of the 1650s. They were some of the last puritans to arrive. (If anything, the reparations due to be paid are by those in my lines. And I am down with that payment of reparation.) but I am not these crazy ass people on tv shouting “they want their country back”... no motherfucker, I want MY COUNTRY BACK.
Some of us have the lifeblood of America before it was America inside of them.
I am a TRUE “patriot” - my family built this land, brought people here, and the men fought in wars up until my father. My great grandpa Chester lived and fought through both world wars and won a Purple Heart.
But my grandparents and parents raised me to believe America is and always will be the melting pot of the world, and was raised to believe that one day we will all look the same, be the same, think the same. And to strive for that. To be a true union. So what the fuck did these people’s parents teach them growing up? Because what they are saying, isn’t American.
The QOP isn’t adapting to the unforgiving, linear movement of this space. They will split in two or more. Today proved that. Understanding that changes take up to a generation should settle the stomach.
