The defeatist bullshit I’ve been reading on Facebook ever since the election has reached a breaking point.
The assholes in Charlottesville yesterday do not represent the vast majority of good, non-bigoted Americans who are just trying to make it through life. In fact, they do not represent America at all.
I just read a post from an old fart like me who has, to all intents and purposes, given up and decided to watch it burn while sitting back and wishing the next generation the best of luck.
Well, to hell with you, old man. My father and uncles didn’t spend several years on a European shooting vacation so I could sit back in my old age watching everything they held dear collapse around me. I have skin in the game — two lovely grandchildren who will have to grow up in the world you’re happy to watch crumble. Well, fuck that. Wake up and fight the future, you unmitigated pussy. What the hell are you afraid of? Dying? That’s coming anyway.
The world does NOT end with our death. Other people have to live in it. So, why not fight on to the end? It’s what we were made to do, not to go quietly into that dark night while, unopposed, the forces of evil claim the field.
