Condemning America’s role in history and the world ≠ pessimism. Never once said anything pessimistic about the future. I’m actually extremely optimistic that things get better eventually. Esp compared to when I was a liberal like you. You can’t just put words in my mouth and call me maga for calling out slavery and genocide 😭
whether or not the OP of the quoted post meant to be pessimistic, that’s how it read and that’s what i was replying to. #1 disagreed and said that no one was pessimistic and no one was arguing against having hope for America. My assumption is #1 was OP of the post. I still stand strongly behind my stance that without hope for a better future, the fight becomes worthless. If that makes me a “liberal” (i’m assuming she said it derogatorily) then so be it.
