I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was
born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it
or not, makes me privileged, a racist, and responsible for slavery.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards,
makes me a fascist because I plan, budget, and support myself.

I went to Grammar School and have always held a job. But I now find
out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was
"advantaged.”


I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.


I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.  I am older than
70, making me a useless dinosaur who doesn't understand Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat.


I think, and I reason, and I doubt most of what the ‘mainstream’
media tells me, which makes me a Right-wing conspiracy nut.


I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe.


I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair reward according to each
individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.


I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of
outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.


I believe in the defense and protection of my nation for and by all
citizens, now making me a militant.


I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, and the many who died to
let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem - so I must be a
radical.


Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not
sure who I am anymore!


Funny - it all took place over the last decade!


If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even
know which toilet to use... and these days I gotta go more frequently!

WOW Coke, you covered ALL the bases - we older folk can see and realize what has or is going wrong with today's society. Sadly, we can't turn it around!

I almost can hardly wait until all us privileged radical homophobe white folks that believe in God and Country retire fully, the food stops, from shipping to shelf stocking, the money stops that supported infrastructure until the miscreants are forced to work for their just desserts by their Socialist appointees. Almost glad I will not be alive in twenty years to watch it all cascade into their useless laps. Feel sorry for nieces, nephews and their children of families that do work hard.

I been thinking similar... wonder where "we" are headed, or maybe better, they... and I too have some hard working nieces and nephews that may have to put up with whatever happens.
