You touch on an interesting topic: that people who have been here for generations have a unique place in our culture, and as you say are due some degree of deference.
I have always found it inconsistent (ridiculous?) that on the one hand, Canada is "all in" on UNDRIP and the idea that natives should have special rights. On the other hand, someone who can trace their history back to the Mayflower landing can have no special place compared to someone who crossed the border illegally yesterday.
On one hand, we preach about the special place of indigenous people and do land acknowledgements asking for forgiveness for being "settlers", while on the other hand inviting massive amounts of new immigrants to come and be "settlers" as well.
I don't know what the right balance is, but I do know that current leftist thought is self-contradictory, self-hating and destructive.
I hope for good things from the MAGA crowd. At least I think their hearts are generally in the right place. They love America, and that's a good start.
Incredibly naiive to think that "47" is going to make things better for the average American.
He is all about making things easier for the jews - a full 60% of his administration picks are of that antichrist persuasion, and the entire gang are rabid zionists - Gabbard of course has already flipped her so called "principles" so as to enable her confirmation.
The US is simply a drowning man clutching at the straws of its brief political greatness - China has now taken on the role of the hegemon, and soon you will all be eating noodles and gambling as they do, with the renminbi.
Once again very well written.
