The radicalism of the American ideal is that everyone was created equal, therefore deserving of equal opportunities to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness & an equal say in the running of our country. Our biggest problem is how many have forgotten that or never learned it.

A fair & equal life has been the most bitter divorce. Time for a reconciliation of love 1. UBI (let people return to work safely) 2. Universal Healthcare (let people heal) 3. Green Energy Initiative (jobs) 4. Turn abandoned mills into affordable housing nationwide (jobs+housing)

Equality never really existed. Blacks merely moved up by adopting white outlooks. There was never a proper justice system for the black communities. Why do you think Michael Jordan never spoke up, because he would have been ostracized like @Kaepernick7. That is not equality.

Not only do they forget, but many in reality also don't believe it.

Decades ago right wing republicans and evangelical church leaders jumped into bed together. They came up with a strategy to brainwash their white followers into believing they are superior and god thinks they are special. The leaders have laughed all the way to the bank since.

I dream of the day when Americans refer to themselves as citizens of planet Earth and those from other countries as equals rather than "Aliens". Nothing special about being born on stolen land. Half the problem is the national pride and MAGA attitude that goes with it.

The fulfillment of the peace-freedom civil rights dreams awoken in the 60s would be the fulfillment of the good news of the gospel. I believe it was the communication tech stuff that helped Rock and Roll unite & express that common dream message,,, of sharing the world too.

...or have grown so cynical as to distrust the wisdom or practical feasibility of our founding ideals.

I happen to have my own personal copy in full of the Declaration of Independence. Is there any chance you would like to join me in drafting a new version for the new Earth?
