I Believe... [1619 + 1776 = A Fuller Picture]

...that it is the rare man who is both right and popular. The combination doesn't marry well in a society so trained to tell people what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. Biden isn’t so popular right now so do the math.

...that the big difference between wild animals and humans is that the Wild Beast doesn't give a fuck what you think about his taste in music. That and shitting in public.

...that it is rather extraordinary how myopic people can get when That Thing They Condemn uses the same dishonest tactics as That Thing They Support. If those tactics are fair to use for one Thing, those tactics are fair to use for Both. I say dishonest tactics are horseshit no matter how righteous your stance.

...that the best thing the pandemic has done for me is to finally convince me I want nothing to do with TikTok.

...that the 1619 Project is some solid reading and, while not a definitive history of the country’s founding, a brilliant parallel view to understanding the brilliance of the Founding Fathers creating the republic. Both are true and together provide a more complete comprehension.
