The Tipping Point

Are we at the tipping point?

 As flawed as Thomas Jefferson may have been, he nailed it in the Declaration of Independence. 

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase from the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase gives three examples of the unalienable rights which the Declaration says have been given to all humans by their Creator, and which governments are created to protect.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think we're reenacting Animal Farm, or The Lord of the Flies, where some are more equal than others. Clearly, it's exceptionalism. Exceptionalism is the perception or belief that a species, country, society, institution, movement, individual, or time period is "exceptional" (i.e., unusual or extraordinary). The term carries the implication, whether or not specified, that the referent is superior in some way. That's why Trump says, "I alone can fix this." 

His delusions are dangerous. If that weren't bad enough, he is taking away our unalienable rights, our livelihoods, based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, ethnic background. I think I just described the aspirational goals of DEI. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a term used to describe policies and programs that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. DEI encompasses people of different ages, races, ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, genders, religions, cultures and sexual orientations. 

One final note. Nowhere in here do these thoughts and ideas say anything about excluding white people.
