Don Surber summed up America’s problem in his post today. I’m sure he didn’t mean to, his post was almost entirely justification for the slaughter of women and children in Gaza, but he briefly made a couple of references to what is at the core of what has finally succeeded in destroying this nation as a functional democracy.
In the first reference he described how “diversity” works, how it means that people of color will “do their jobs differently when they sit at the tables of power.” He followed up on that with the statement that people of color are not “reflected in positions of power often enough.”
So being an elected representative of the people of this nation is no longer seen as being a “public servant” as it was when I was growing up, it is now seen as a “position of power.” If you don’t see why that is a problem, then I just feel sorry for you.
