@Kel_Benedetti@anneapplebaum@LGPDownState Women will always have to fight, in our lifetimes. Men had greater upper body strength and could overpower women for the last thousands of years. Bad habits are hard to break.
@DoseOfDemocracy They showed rump man while people were still clapping for the anthem to make it confusing as to whether the people were cheering or booing him or both.
So the right replaces the things our parents had (job opportunities, a good health care system, good schools) with the idea that being American is great. So we must pump up the idea that nothing is better than being American (not jobs, housing, healthcare, etc.)
The right pounds away at the idea that being American is so special. True, because until recently we had a solid legal system. Not true: no universal health or child care. Bad schools, mostly. Middle class sinking. Money runs politics. People can't get jobs or buy a house.
