A lot of non-white Americans love this country in a way that white Americans truly do not and cannot understand. This is, incidentally, the thing I love most about this country.

for the first 20 years of my life, it was legal to imprison me for the crime of loving my partner.

for the first 32 years of my life, it was legal to prohibit me from marrying my partner.

do not tell me "everything gets worse" because that is a lie which denies the victorious struggle of millions.

I really dislike this leftie tendency to use all of the horrible crimes this country has committed as proof that the country is irredeemable, when the people who fought against it often did so *as Americans* because it implies they were a bunch of stupid fucking rubes

ngl that sentence is fucking me up and making me think about the kinds of antisocial acts that one should ideally not desire to commit in a functioning liberal democracy

on every level of your home
and outside sleeping areas
carbon monoxide
is a deadly gas
you cannot see or smell
