I used to be a normal person

I Used To Be A Normal Person(OK, that’s what I thought!)

As a man, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me "Privileged", a racist & responsible for slavery.

I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself.

I went to High School, paid my way thru college, earned a degree, & have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged”.

I am heterosexual, which according to "gay" folks, now makes me a homophobe.

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a defacto member of the "vast NRA gun lobby.”

I am older than 60, making me a useless person who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

I think & I reason, and I doubt much of what the "main stream" media tells me, which makes me a "Right-wing conspiracy nut”.

I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.

I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.

I believe in the defense & protection of America for & by all citizens, now making me a militant.

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand & salute during our National Anthem -so I must be a racist.

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

 

If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which restroom to use… and I gotta go more FREQUENTLY!

I know who I am. I have lived too long. I have carried a gun on commercial airlines while on duty, now I can't even carry fingernail clippers on a comercial air line. 
My how times have changed.

30 years ago, I would have laughed at your post. Today, your list constitutes normalcy to those accepting partisan DEMOCRAT ideology.

I'm in the same boat.

Count me in for the drawing.

exactly CORRECT ....but how to condense that on your gravestone for those illiterate..remember a cemetery took out a stone with the middle finger raised WITHOUT informing the family who owned the plot ...... ??
