re: #374 Citizen K

To turn their favorite argument around on them…they don’t want equal treatment. They want special treatment that comes with being the “default” demographic that all things are catered to and molded around. They want to be treated better because they’re not the ‘other’.

Government by empathy, not by fear

R’s America: Unjust, unequal, unforgiving (or compassion-less) (liberty and justice for some (us))
D’s America: liberty and Justice *for all* (a better life for everyone)

Eleanor Roosevelt: “When it’s better for everyone, it’s better for everyone.”
Sen. Fred Harris “Everybody does better, when everybody does better”

it’s right there in the pledge

- liberty (freedom to mostly do what you want and be left alone)
- justice (fairness and proportional equity in all things)
- for all (everyone’s included - we all put in and we all get out)

if it’s not ‘for all’ then it’s not for anyone
