This is a great article. What a sweet, cute couple.
Takeaway line is that there IS such a thing as privilege. WE HAVE AMERICAN PRIVILEGE. And more of us need gratitude for it. We don’t need to “check our privilege” or be ashamed of it! But we can use it to help others in the cause of freedom, around the world.
I saw a meme that said something like:
“If you’re reading this you probably didn’t win the Powerball lottery. But you did wake up in America. Which is pretty much the same thing.”
We all have more in common than we care to admit. Where we disagree it is mostly on implementation. We all want to feed the hungry and house the homeless, we just disagree on how to accomplish it. Maybe if the left can get past their hatred of Trump they can accomplish some of their goals, which we share, but by means other than that which they wish for.
And therein lies our biggest disagreement. I think many on left are fooled by their political leaders into thinking they share their goals. We all share many of the same goals but for those in power, particularly on the left, power itself is the only real goal. Instead of focusing on policies and results, they tear us apart with incrimination, false accusations, and even bearing false witness in the pursuit of power for its own sake. That is dangerous.
