If people dont fight for it, no matter who is in office, everything and everyone will get shut down or locked down, and only the people shutting and locking everything down will have any rights.
Democracy sounds good, but people had to fight and bleed for it to make it a reality when someone first came up with the idea.

Someone who's got most of their true muscle between their ears, but still makes neverending desperate attempts to physically dominate people with body language (especially in crowded public settings), often resulting in police showing up to threaten people who don't think life is like a poker tournament or a trip to Vegas. Also known as an instigator.
He/she was a horse's ass, but not everybody was ignoring him/her like she thought, many of them were rejecting him/her, but he/she could never see that, all the muscle between the ears was dense.

He wasn't just the coward of the county, he was the coward of the year, the state coward, and the coward of cowards.

You don't see many people eating Thanksgiving dinner with Indians. Would it be narcissistic of the Indians to say fuck these guys?
Indians don't feel the same way about Thanksgiving. They most likely wouldn't even feel welcome at a Thanksgiving dinner these days. Is the average family really grateful to the Indians?

The girl's aunt and deceased grandmother (whom she had never actually met) were everything she wanted to be but wasnt in everyday life, still she posed as being just like them when everyone was looking, though there were no true similarities when nobody was looking. She did all this to gain acceptance and trust from her own family, since she didnt find either acceptance or trust anywhere else.

There's a lot of people who are quick to try and change something that's been there for decades or longer, but don't want to preserve anything that's been around a while, they only seem to want to preserve something new and fresh, something that just got done.
The guy/girl wanted everything he/she wasn't a part of or didnt do with his/her group eliminated, but wanted everything he/she/they did do preserved forever. They thought everyone had to welcome and agree with their thoughts about change, and that anybody who disagreed should die.

Doing something good doesn't make something bad you did go away. There is no righting wrongs or turning horrors into fairy tales. The one chance you have to right a wrong is when you have the choice to do the wrong, or not do the wrong. If you fuck up, you fucked up, and it comes with consequences, it's as simple as that. There is no erasing one history and replacing it with something that seems to make everybody smile because that isn't reality. The reality is, there are things humans have fucked up at in this country for a long time. One of them was that until yesterday, there had never been a female holding an office as a head of state or a vice head of state. A female getting elected to that position didn't right a wrong, the wrong remains, and the choices will also remain in the future. Racism is also like that, it doesn't get better or go away with time, it has to be worked on otherwise nothing gets done.
Spending a lot of time trying to right wrongs takes time away from things you can take your time on and not fuck up from here, since trying to right wrongs gets nothing done. If you have time to live your life ashamed of every wrong thing you had ever done, you can live your life ashamed, but you're still going to have a lot of shit to do at some point, and there's less and less time to get it done with every day that passes.
