I hope these 4 years have given us wisdom to roll our eyes when certain people talk of "sacrifice"
"Sacrifice"... what does that mean?
Give up sex?
Give up pleasurable experiences?
Going on a hunger strike?
Voluntarily go from the upper crust of society and live among the lower classes?
Forsake some sort of high-end "destiny" for yourself that you were promised?
Letting go of something so someone else may benefit?
And then I hear the Trump family talk of sacrifice, what does that even mean?
No Trump has to skip a meal in that family.
No Trump has to put off college so the bills could be paid.
No Trump has to choose between paying utilities or getting their prescriptions.
It's funny, on January 21, 2021; I am sure the past 4 years will have seem like a bad dream that we are waking up from... Right wing evangelicals will be busy quietly deleting all their proclamations declaring that the President is selected by God and that resisting the President is the same as resisting God, QAnon types will be clamming up, Republicans will be saying they "never REALLY supported him", I am thinking this period of time, politically speaking, will be an asterisk or a blur.
But, I do genuinely hope that we keep a skepticism of when the elite and powerful talk of "sacrifice" like they're down here with us. Demolish Trump Tower then you can talk of "sacrifice".
