Badger AF (he/him) DEMOCRACY

Two things we have to drive a stake through if we ever want to reclaim this country:

1. American exceptionalism
2. Nostalgia

American exceptionalism ties in with the idea that we are somehow different from any other country - people think that somehow we're special because a magical divine being inspired the founders of this country. But he didn't inspire them enough to free the enslaved people.

@Badger_AF

That’s what do many people in other countries have been thinking g for a long time.

@Susan60 That's also what marginalized people in the United States have been thinking about.

I'm embarrassed to say I'm still waking up to this fact.

@Badger_AF

Most people don’t like to think of themselves as “privileged”, so it’s a bit awkward when we wake up to it. 😳
