I guess I'm not a true American patriot [View all]

I abhor the Israeli genocide and its support by the current US administration. Further, the way this administration is vilifying US immigrants is absolutely horrendous. In the view of the current administration, I should be censored or worse for my point of view.

I’m an elderly white male whose genealogy in Ameri(k)a goes back to the 1600’s European pilgrimage….even further if I take into account my Native American contribution. I don’t feel threatened by immigration or progressive views…..just the opposite; the conservative, paranoid white neochristian idiots are a cancer in our society. I guess I’m one of the ‘woke’ intellectuals happy not to be part of the anti woke, hypocritical moronic crowd with their head in the sand.

I want America to lead our planet with a compassionate ideology supportive of human rights and stewardship of our fragile environment. Otherwise, we are in for a gruesome future. Although my hope is waning, it’s still there for my kids and grandkids.

Stand up to the BS.
Peace ☮️
