NEVER KNEW I WAS A “DEPLORABLE”

(until now, that is)

I used to think I was just a regular person, but…
I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.
I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.
I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.
 
I think and I reason, therefore I doubt most of what the mainstream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.
I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
I acquired a fair education without student loans (it’s called work) and had no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of odd underachiever.
I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for, and by, U.S. citizens, which now makes me a militant.
     Please help me come to terms with the new me, I‘m really not sure who I am anymore. I’d also like to thank my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, newfound changes in my life although I can’t understand how all this has happened to me. Funny thing is, all my changes seem to have taken place over just the last 7 or 8 years! And as if all this mess wasn’t enough to deal with, I’m now afraid to go into either restroom!
