Come Together As Americans?

What’s an American in 2021?

How do we come together as Americans?

Sidebar: If firms like Twitter, Facebook, Google, Apple, AmericanExpress, Amazon, and Shopify can shut off applications, refuse to process payments, ban users, and shut down internet sites…why do we still have child pornography?

From a USAFA classmate on a thread:

“But to say nobody could have conceived of this is to not look at our history. We have routinely turned to violence over our history to effect political change starting with Bacon’s Rebellion in the 1600’s. We fought a Revolution to found the country. There was Shays Rebellion, the Whiskey Rebellion, the raid on Harper’s Ferry, the Civil War, NYC Draft Riots, the Bonus Army demonstrations, the Red Power Movement, Black Power Movement, CHAZ and the US Capitol. There are many more but this is what I can think of. Agree or disagree this was in line with our history.”
