Just because El Donaldo is a putz doesn’t make mainstream Demoblicans not addled authoritarian demagogues. And just because she is an addled authoritarian demagogue doesn’t make Nancy Pelucid always wrong. In another serendipitous manifestation of the “Kondracke Effect” (stumbling blindly into the truth), she accurately included me under the broad brush that she wielded, intending to besmirch millions of Americans.
I do value whiteness over democracy.
Of course, whiteness means almost nothing to me, since I am neither proud nor ashamed of the colors of my skin or hair or eyes, nor the names, achievements, or crimes of my ancestors. Since none of those things are my accomplishments, they are hardly representative of my sense of identity or self-regard.
So, for me, the value of whiteness is approximately zero, which is vastly preferable to such destructive and dangerous diseases as diabetes, diphtheria, or democracy. Which would YOU prefer?
Nothing, or a broken leg? Nothing, or skin cancer?
To have your whims be catered to by strangers (anarcho-capitalism),
or to be pushed around by your neighbors (democracy)?
I may know not what others prefer, but as for me:
Give me Liberty, or give me Gridlock.
update 210321 — Temple Guards
There are reportedly now more National Guard troops stationed in just the District of Columbia shielding the Temple of Democracy from Les Deplorables than are stationed in all of Afghanistan and Iraq combined. Which makes perfect sense. A too present and in our business Congress is more likely to injure Americans than would distant jihadists.
