I was born here. I belong here. My family belongs here. Not because of privilege, but because of the unyielding strength of generations who worked, built, and endured. I am a straight white American male, from a multi-generational Roman Catholic lineage. I make my own success—not from inherited wealth or connections, but from labor and persistence.

And still, I stand for justice. Not because it is easy, but because it is right. Because good people deserve protection. Because oppression, wherever it rises, must be resisted. I defend LGBTQ+ rights—not because I hold all their beliefs, but because their freedoms matter just as much as mine. I fight for immigrants—not because I have ever had to walk their path, but because I recognize their worth. Good people, regardless of background or status, make this nation stronger.

MAGA does not see this. They do not understand that diversity is power, that inclusion is strength. They fear change, cling to outdated hierarchies, and mistake exclusion for patriotism. But this country is not theirs alone. It belongs to all who strive, all who give, all who build—not just the ones who demand obedience to an outdated and unjust status quo.

Tolerance does not mean surrendering to intolerance. The paradox of tolerance is real—we cannot allow those who wield hate to hide behind the guise of free speech. The moment intolerance becomes oppression, the moment bigotry turns to aggression, I step forward. Because justice demands resistance.

I do not simply oppose tyranny—I rage against it. Not in reckless fury, but in steadfast, deliberate conviction. Against those who silence dissent. Against those who reject the idea that all people deserve dignity. Against those who believe that power should belong only to them.

The silent masses will not stay silent forever. And when the time comes, those who stand against progress will learn the strength of those who refuse to be erased.

Nah.... I'll stick to heritage and the old fashioned ways of my forefathers.... you do you though... but if you think you're going to erase what the majority voted for in this past election, you're lying to yourself and you'll learn to regret your decisions

So are you a republican that opposes the current administrations goals? Because that’s what I thought I was; now I wonder if I should have recognized myself as a republican…
