The most disingenuous part of all of this is that the mainstream left and media will cease being interested in the Deeper Racist Past of Americana the moment Joe Biden is sworn-in. George Washington statues and the Star Spangled Banner will once again be mostly okay. 1/
Fourth of July celebrations will once again be largely non-problematic. Like they were during the Obama years, a progressive thinkpiece or two aside. Just as the anti-war movement was shifted from being a RIGHTEOUS CAUSE THAT MUST BE EMPOWERED to a fringe protest movement 2/
once Bush left office & Obama took office, so too will the radical protesters tearing down statues of non-Confederate American figures. Biden wanting to celebrate Washington or Lincoln or Mount Rushmore will be fine. So too will be his reveling in Fourth of July fireworks and 3/
admiringly quoting the Declaration of Independence. The American media is generally okay playing along with Americana so long as the Right Person is in office. Biden is not a natural radical activist. He's a kinda-dumb liberal. And his instincts aren't "America is bad" 4/
He speaks woke progressive as a fourth language for which he still needs Google Translate. He's going to go the old fashioned Americana route, have to be dragged kicking and screaming to any substantive reform, the media will play along because he's the Democrat in office, and 5/
the protesters who now feel they're king of the world, celebrated by a media desperate to leverage anything against Trump, will find themselves marginalized. Just like the anti-war movement and Cindy Sheehan did. They're being used. And they'll be discarded. 6/6
