No one who is a MAGA wants to hear about the contributions of Americans who are not like them Rancid. For them? They are the true Patriots and the other ones are enemies of the state.
That is how fascists think anyway. There is a very defined way of being an American and the ones who do not agree with their list of pre-requisites to being an American are crossed off.
1) You are not a white extraction American with generations of being here and living here. Say at least 150 years or generational European rooted American life. You are not that. One cross off.
2) Shithole nation roots. The Dominican Republic is next to Haiti. Haiti and Dominican Republic are the definition of Banana Republics and shithole nation definitions. You are not from the cultures that are civilized. Untrustworthy. Your wife as well. Chinese are UnAmerican unless they are like Elaine Chao that Mitch McConnell married. Got to be a rabid Right winger there. Not vote for Obama. Which your wife did. The traitor!
3) You went to engineering school due to some minority favoring status. Liberal policies. That means you did not do it on your own merits. You rode the coattails of liberalism to become an engineer not due to studying and working on it. But because some liberal allowed it. You got there due to some liberal program that they implemented in which their dummy son that is white did not get your slot in engineering school because you were taking advantage of reverse racism. You probably plagiarized your writing too.
4) They built the greatness and all these third world losers are tying to rewrite history and take their power and their money. Fuck those people they think. We made this country great. The Indians, Blacks, and those vermin Latin Americans are all FAKE Americans who want to steal what is OURS. OURS. MINE. ME. MINE.
They are like that Rancid. I ran into them in meetings discussing bilingual education. They do not care that kids fail if they do not have a way of doing schoolwork in their native language while being taught English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). They should sink to the bottom. I had one lady scream at my mother about 'You can't think unless it is in English. You are making these kids fail. They can't think in that gibberish that no one understands at home.' An actual person. Do you think she is a MAGA now? I would bet a lot of my money that she is one.
Rancid wrote:Yes, however, I was getting at something more simpler than that. No (or just a little) history required.
This unearned entitlement manifests itself a few different ways. This is one example:
"My grandad fought in WWII". It is stated as though that entitles them to more than other Americans. It's rather odd, because it is their grandfather that fought in the war, not them. Grandad might be entitled to something, but not grandson. They didn't fight for shit. It reminds me of Shaq the basketball player talking about his kids. One of his kids was bragging about how much money he has to others at school, etc. etc. IIRC Shaq put out a tiktok (or similar) basically saying "I'm the one that is rich, not you". .. This is what entitlement looks like on a more day to day level. It fosters a culture of separateness between different people. Built on a foundation of bullshit basically.
All the while, I pay 5x the taxes that Mr. "My grandad fought in WWII" pays into the system. Perhaps I've contributed more to America than that guy.
