I have a friend we’ll call “Robert.” He’s older than I but we grew up in the same neighborhood. He is as liberal as I am conservative. I’d call him a shadow Marxist and he bought it hook, line, and sinker. There are no bad people, only those whom society has failed. All white people are racists. There is nothing wrong with the underclass, or, indeed, society, that more tax money can’t solve. Republicans are sub-human. Guns contain evil spirits that make people commit murder. The NRA is Satan’s church on Earth. And so on.
As you might expect, my friend chose a career in public education, in Massachusetts. He rose through merit into administration, achieving the rank of assistant school principal. All was well.
Then, one day, two minority teachers who had been affirmative actioned through their schools and careers to become two surly women with an 8th grade education, were up for promotion as teachers in the school where they worked. My friend, in a fit of honesty, disapproved their promotions. Several weeks later both of these women charged him with racism, sexism, and misogeny. He was summarily fired and these two women were promoted. He has since lived in obscurity and, I am sure, bitterness.
Wouldn’t you like to know if he’s had a change of heart??
Your story, should you change the characters to anthropomorphized animals, would be worthy of Aesop.
The leftist revolution always eats its own children.
