What has become of my country?
“What has become of my country? “
We are experiencing some cultural hysteria. It’s similar to The Tulip Bulb Mania*. Except, instead of tulip bulbs, or the recent real estate bubble, it’s cultural. Suddenly, the Left has embraced intersectionality**. Intersectionality went from being meaningless to being insanely valuable, but only in the Left’s crazy market of idiot ideas. Virtually all of the Democratic candidates are competing for intersectionality points; hence speaking Spanish at the debates. You and I are wondering “what’s become of us.” But nothing has happened to us, yet. It’s just that a group, Democrats, that used to be sane and at least gave lip service to finding common ground with the rest of us, have left the rails and are careening into some bizarre, unexplored territory the rest of us are scared of exploring.
You, my friend are sane. It’s those seeking intersectionality points who are insane. Rest easy. This will go the way of the tulip mania. In thirty years we will look back and marvel that men ran around in dresses using women’s restrooms and playing against women in sports. And, none of those men will admit they ever did such a thing. Pity those who are cutting off body parts for the sake of mania fashion that will disappear like poodle skirts and bobby socks.
*Tulip mania (Dutch: tulpenmanie) was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637
