I consider myself privileged to have been born in the USA and have lived a comfortable life. I have ancestors and relatives that bore arms in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea and I served during the Vietnam conflict. I’ve considered that as the tap root in my sense of who I am as an American. At the same time I feel weighed down with shame that the image above is just so true and that damn near 50% of my fellow Americans would be willing to celebrate and applaud a creature that would perpetuate such a step backward in our pursuit of “a more perfect Union”.
