The Left is doing it wrong.

We need to stop calling it the green New Deal; and call it the Patriot Power Act.

We’re not trying to go green or “Woke”. No! We’re making ’Merca energy independent! We’ll stop importing oil from the tourist countries! And be energy self sufficient!

—BRANDING!!

We do kinda need to remind people that the founders fought for freedom, fair representation and equality under the law. We are the real patriots, fighting for the same.

Terms and conditions applied, it was mostly for wealthy, white men.

The job was left unfinished, which is fine. They had no better consensus than we do today, a reflection of how the struggle is much slower and longer than just our story.

Sure. A more perfect union. I’m just more interested in not idealizing anymore. Light or dark projections are both problematic.
