Trump Exposed What America Always Was

[PunkinPi]

Every day I hear people say “this isn’t who we are.”
Yes it is. It always has been.

White Americans have ignored racism for centuries because it benefited us. We looked away while Black people, women, immigrants, Asians, and non-white communities suffered — because their pain didn’t disrupt our comfort.

We refuse to general strike.
We refuse to stop spending.
We refuse to confront friends and family.
We refuse to post, organize, or be uncomfortable.

That silence is why nothing changes.

Donald Trump is not the cause — he’s the symptom. Removing him doesn’t cure a nation addicted to white comfort, white grievance, and selective morality.

Progress requires sacrifice. Discomfort. Loss of convenience.
If we’re unwilling to do that, then stop pretending we want change.
