I don't think it's my place to judge.

When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight

Does MAGA understand just how terrible all their art would be if they got rid of “woke” people?

It would just be Kid Rock singing over the credits of a Ben Shapiro-produced movie about Gina Carano & Dean Cain teaming up to stop a trans person from giving poor kids free lunches.

Since I was a man
Such sheets of fire, such bursts of horrid thunder,
Such groans of roaring wind and rain, I never
Remember to have had.

Knowing I loved my books, he furnish'd me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.

On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).

On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:

Here, we have no kings.

A huge river of people at a No Kings rally in Los Angeles, CA

Sparse crowds around the Washington Memorial in DC

Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it.
