Why not 1971 with Roe v Wade? There’s a thousand lines in the sand where we could have decided we were finished. Why not go ahead and burn it to the ground right now? If that’s what needs to happen, why wait.
Sheer symbolism. The need for a mental line-in-the-sand, in which it’s confirmed for me that America has truly crossed over into evil, and is no longer a country capable or worthy of salvaging.
Admittedly, I could argue that such a line has already been crossed, considering what is going on in this country. The populace elected a Marxist leader twice, the rule of law is dead, the culture serves up depravity like Miley Cyrus and her foam-finger and an NFL that celebrates a homo recruit slobbering cake off his boytoy’s face.
This is not the America I pledged allegiance to. This is a grotesque mirror-universe America. An America that stands opposite every value I cherish.
