Being left behind? Lol. By whom? I am not afraid of anything. I am disturbed that people can’t recognize the complexity of the human condition. Jefferson himself is an example of hypocrisy and self delusionment. Simultaneously arguing to eradicate slavery and he owned something like 600 slaves.He also largely helped to craft our republic. There’s both good and bad there. Instead of tearing down statues, why not acknowledge that? And when I talk about myself being ashamed, it largely stems from saying mean things to people when I was a kid. If any of that had been on social media and I ran for office, you can bet they would dredge it up. I’m not a kid anymore, I have changed my thinking and I am less insecure. Now, I understand that comparing that to owning human beings is a stretch. But also comparing 2021 to the 1780s is also a stretch. I’m disturbed by the far right and the far left these days. This smacks as far left to me.
