A dwindling portion of the population - usually a particular color and a particular religion - is freaking out en masse because a genuinely multicultural, multi ethnic, multi racial and multi sexual blossoming is occurring in the United States. What to many of us is the potential for a full actualization of the American ideal is to some a kind of psychological annihilation, an end to what they had been led to believe was their ownership of the American franchise. This is a bigger struggle than anything limited to a single situation or circumstance. The American ideal is going to win here. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson, as well as their Tennessee supporters, are impeccable examples of standing for what’s right and doing so “on the high plane of dignity and discipline.” (MLK) We still have miles to go, but the lines have been drawn. The leaders are emerging. A love of justice fills the air.

This narrative is not only old, but false. The majority of folks in the USA are not far left nor far right. They are simply folks from all walks of life that just want to be able to take care of themselves and their loved ones. This constant party politics BS is ruining our Republic - and is just a manipulation for votes. Cut it out.

The reason they are freaking out is because the certain groups are not bound by the law of the land. They are free to spread tyranny with no consequences based on their physical characteristics, not the content of their character.

Yeah sure, that's the way to create a sense of unity and try to solve our problems: villifying "the other" For shame, Ms Williamson Btw, do you think members of Congress should be allowed to bring bullhorns onto the floor of the House and Senate and disrupt proceedings?

You just made all that up out of thin air. You are a delusional maniac balkanizing the American electorate with contrived racial narratives that resemble nothing of actual reality.

Meanwhile, during this 'multi sexual blossoming,' women's family planning/reproductive rights are next to nil. If Gloria Steinem & Jane Fonda are still freaking out, and doctors are afraid to treat the pregnant, then just how much positive change is benefitting women, today?

Can you please focus on actual issues like inequality, healthcare and the environment? Race and lgbt issues just serve to divide. Unless actual laws are being passed to roll things back (in which case, go ham), it's just social commentary that adds nothing.

This is the cringiest post ever.. Tennessee 3 years ago was 50/50 in their House Of Representatives, now it's nearly 80/20 Conservative.. The same is being played out in the Bluest of states around the Country.. You live in a bubble.. You are losing the culture war.

And, Marianne has finally lost me. Participation in an *insurrection is heroic, as long as you have a 'D' next to your name. This performative political atmosphere is sophomoric, if you're welcoming it with open arms as a 2nd civil rights era, you've lost touch with the majority.
