“Exactly what does that mean? What will the country look like when their goals are achieved? “

Those are the questions they should be asking themselves and that we should be asking them.

“What am I doing here with these people”—look on the faces of the white chicks.

Just say’in.

Over the weekend, I had a discussion with "a democrat". It started when I went on a short rant after a news story about politics. She insisted she was a democrat because "that's how she grew up." But she votes "split ticket" and doesn't always vote for the democrat. I asked her, "what policy or agenda or idea do you support that the democratic party stands for?" She wanted to end the conversation there.

She is against abortion. She is against the NFL kneeling. She is against BLM. She doesn't understand taxes. But she identifies as a democrat.

It occurs to me, this is likely pretty common in this country. At least for Millennials I think it is in vogue to have political opinions and practice activism. It shows you are important and want to make a difference. Besides, all your friends are doing it and it's what celebrities do. But they exist in a micro-culture of abject ignorance. They have no idea what they support. They don't even understand the basic tenants of our founding as a nation or the documents establish our nation.
