Many years ago, before the left took over universities, a prof said America was a tossed salad rather than a melting pot. He was right. That’s one of the few things I’ve carried and held close.
Newsflash: the left took over the universities in the 1920s and 30s. But their plan was a long-range, “gradualist” takover of all social and political establishments (Gramsci's “long march through the institutions”) and their motto was “make haste slowly.” They had been working with stealth until the Clinton-Bush-Obama years, when they all started coming out of the closet.
Now Trump is the fall guy being blamed for “divisiveness”, when the divisions were already deeply in place. He is saying, “either we have a country or we don't. We have borders or we don’t have a country.” And the sheep are waking up, but they're still listening to the propagandists claiming all this “division” has happened since Trump announced in mid-2015.
America was a melting pot. Now it’s a tossed salad. Sad. That professor (although it was attributed way before that by progressives) was a marxist.
We used to be a melting pot. Now we have this.
