If someone was “different”, they kept it hidden. It wasn’t out in the open and wasn’t celebrated.

Well that was kind of the point. People eventually get tired of feeling like they have to live in the shadows to the point they get fed up, lose their minds and swing the pendulum to the other ridiculous extreme.

You will always have people outside of whatever is considered “the norm”, and the solution isn’t suppression (implied or explicit) unless you enjoy constant civil unrest dotted with occasional armed conflict.

The answer actually is inclusion (the only thing the DEI mob kind of has right) but not the limitless “everyone is the same” nonsense that DEI is peddling. Inclusion has to be bound by an adherence to a higher cultural/moral order and we simply don’t have that as a country. It’s like, look man, if you’re sexually attracted to other men, whatever. But you’re still a man and are expected to act like one. There have to be concepts we can’t deviate from and we all need to be clear on why. But at the same time we can’t be so rigid to marginalize people for no good reason.

The erosion of Judeo-Christian values and a sense of national pride has left us in a place where every life choice and way of being is just as “acceptable” as any other because we’re not moored to any higher order concepts and ideals. We fix that and we can right the ship. That’s how we make America great again.
