Living in America Today Under Corporate Socialism

      Living in America today under Corporate Socialism as

defined by the Democrat party has become the nightmare our grandparents feared. A world that, at times, makes no sense to a sane individual. One of our Patriots sent in their take on a what is quickly becoming a totalitarian United States. A one-party country where you must conform. The observations are spot on.

• I used to think I was pretty much a regular person; being born white into a two parent household now labels me as "privileged", racist and responsible for slavery.

• I'm a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards makes me a fascist because I plan & budget. I now learn that I am not here because I earned it, but because I'm "advantaged”.

• I am heterosexual, which according to some folks now makes me a homophobe. I believe the Lord did not give me a heart to judge others.

• I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

• 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• I'm older than 40, making me a useless person with outdated ideas and values.

• I think, I reason, and I doubt much of what the "mainstream" media tells me, making 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, now making 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'm 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, which makes me a racist. I kneel only for The Cross, which makes me racist.

• I feel the Confederate monuments around our country symbolizes 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.

• I feel all lives matter, which labels me as a racist.

• I support President Trump, which labels me as a racist.

• I think the riots and destruction of property around our country is wrong and just an excuse to push a political agenda, so I'm labeled a racist.

• I support our police, which labels me as a racist.

• I question how fear is being used to control us during this COVID-19 pandemic, and think the crisis is being used for political gain, so I'm labeled careless and non-sympathetic.

      Liberals try 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 God, my family and my country.
