What nation of people? We’re the embodiment of Patriarchal White Supremacist Capitalist Colonialism. That’s what the US has been about since its founding, and if you don’t like it then good. I don’t either.
We can’t pretend that America was once about democracy and acknowledge the fact that it wasn’t. We can either pretend our best pieces of civic mythos are instead history, or we can reckon with the fact that we’re all so far past the ‘values’ of our founders that we’re going to have to forge a new identity.
The name doesn’t necessarily have to change, but basically everything else about the US does.
