1/ The radicalism of the American ideal is that here would be a place where anyone could have the chance to manifest their God-given potential. We’ve never fully embodied that ideal, but many at great personal sacrifice have pushed it forward and in various ways we’ve succeeded.

2/ Too many losing sight of that ideal & disconnecting from personal responsibility for furthering it, has left us vulnerable to all the undemocratic forces that abound today. Reclaiming the ideal in our own hearts is fuel for pushing back powerfully against those who threaten it

3/ When we’re only serving ourselves we’re not as powerful as when we’re serving something bigger. The journey of the US - a struggle it embodies between the worst & best of human nature - is a continuing ribbon of history that stops at every generation’s door. It’s at ours now

4/ We have ancestors who murdered & enslaved, and we also have ancestors who were liberators & paved blazing trails for those who came after. We’re at a dangerous choice point & it’s ours to decide now: the path of an authoritarian nightmare or a path of America rebuilt & reborn.

I doubt you can find anyone in America that does not have "ancestors who murdered & enslaved" others. It just depends upon how far back in history you want to look.

How is that possible when capitalism is inherent with a contrived scarcity aspect via debt and banking, which forces the vast majority to work towards making others richer? There is no freedom in that system; it is slavery to money. You are delusional about reality.

Have we? Seems like more a history of terrible oppression than some faerie tale of meritocracy. 16 years of peace in the entire history of the US. Bombing people in Tulsa because they were doing too well. I dispute your rose colored classes on this one, with all due respect.
