I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white into a two parent household which now labels me as "Privileged", racist and responsible for slavery.
I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan & budget. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged”.
I am heterosexual, which according to some folks, now makes me a homophobe. I believe that I am imperfect, therefore it is not my place to judge others.
I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel by many.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a threat to the liberals and I get labeled as being part of a militia.
I am older than 40, making me a useless person with outdated ideas and values.
I think and I reason, and I doubt much of what the "main stream" media tells me, which makes me a "Right-wing conspiracy nut”.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me a target of socialists and Antifa.
I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.
I believe in a strong defense and protection of America for and by all citizens, now making me a militant.
I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand and salute during our National Anthem - so I must be a racist.
I think the Confederate monuments around our country symbolize history, so I'm labeled as having hate in my heart when some suddenly are offended by their presence.
I'm labeled racist when thinking the erasing of history will potentially cause us to repeat the problems. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF BECAUSE NO ONE LISTENS THE FIRST TIME!
I think that all lives matter, which labels me as a racist.
I think the riots and destruction of property around our country are wrong and are just an excuse to push a political agenda, so I'm labeled a racist.
I support our cops, in general, which labels me as a racist.
I question how fear is being used to control us during the COVID-19 pandemic and think the crisis is being used for political gain, so I'm labeled careless and non-sympathetic.
Liberals have tried to make me feel bad about who I am!
Based on everything above, some want me to believe I am a bad person; I'm not, I'm a good person who loves my family, my friends and my country ??♥️??♥️
