I'm getting sick of the whole cancel culture trope from conservatives.

For centuries in this country the conquerers have written the history and controlled the narrative... Hell, even the losers (re: Confederacy) put up monuments and controlled the narrative. https://twitter.com/TarynStanford/status/1286679379053932544
As a tri-racial member (European, Indigenous and African heritage) of the LGBTQ+ community (trans and bi), I've never fit into the conquerer's narrative.

I've endured open racism and transphobia for simply existing.

Now we hear conservative descendents of those conquerers...
...bemoan their inability to express their beliefs now because of shift in culture.

I have endured their beliefs for decades and there was little I could do about it.

I'm thrilled that we are starting to discard the relics and beliefs of the past. To forge a more...
...equal and inclusive culture.

People are free to hold whatever beliefs they want - I no longer feel compelled to listen to or accept them as shared history or accepted practice / beliefs.

Life evolves, culture evolves...
David Brooks along with many others cling to what they saw as normalcy or accepted. Things that I thought were neither normal nor acceptable.

Move forward and evolve or step aside and enjoy extinction.
