The storylines that have long held the U.S. together are coming apart. From the pandemic to unemployment to the upheaval after George Floyd's death, American narratives have fractured into many pieces. Which ones will define the nation? By anthonyted

his 2019 book. “They use their culture’s language … to express what literal language can’t.”

And you have his challenger, Joe Biden, characterizing it this way on Tuesday: “American history isn’t a fairy tale with a guaranteed happy ending. The battle for the soul of this nation has been a constant push-and-pull for more than 240 years. A tug of war between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart.”

Just as vigorously, those triggered by the tumult tell an impassioned story of order, calm and the right to be safe in one’s home and one’s business — something central to the American story right back to the first settlers.Many are not primed to hear their fellow Americans’ stories right now. Polarization was already impeding things. Then came theexistential threat. And now, the oldest of contentious American storylines — race — has taken a lead role.

anthonyted whichever ones they are, vote Republican

anthonyted Trump fronts the people moving forward with the agenda of dismantling the country, they create circumstances fostering outcomes of civil unrest/war to continue dismantling the country - making the masses poor, fearful, and controlled by martial law, they win and are untouched

anthonyted This is factually incorrect: The narrative that is holding is the leftist narrative/lie. And as America burns, they are getting exactly what they think they want: Complete destruction. In time, they will realize their tactical error, as the 'revolution' always eats its own.

anthonyted Hopefully one such narrative is the death of left-wing media shills like

anthonyted ANTIFA. George Soros

anthonyted Missing economic storyline. The story behind how U.S became the wealthiest nation & distribution of that wealth. American wealth badly distributed. Whites have it blacks don't. White wealth gives them power over the state & police force. Why no protests, riots & looting? Get it?

anthonyted Not sure how together it was. People in the south have been openly flying a flag of a treasonous insurrection since 1860.

anthonyted 👊🏼

anthonyted MSM is the enemy of the people.... that’s our takeaway

anthonyted The American narrative was fractured the moment Trump became president.

anthonyted Until capitalism is abolished, global warming is reversed as much as possible, white supremacy is stamped out, and right wing traitor lunatics are executed, things will just get worse and worse. There is no other answer.

anthonyted One nation under God!

anthonyted the riots are blue on blue in Democrat controlled areas MAGA country is nice and peaceful but these dumb fucks will show up in November and vote for Democrats this year and every election. nothing will change.

anthonyted The country and people are strong enough to handle this, but they can't handle to total absence of leadership, the verbal abuse, being treated as if they're the hired help

anthonyted All of them. In 1787 when we finally became an organized(?)country. Some of those who framed those papers were concerned if a bunch of backwoods types could rule themselves. Over time it’s come 2 pass that their fears might come true. Because of the various forms of communication

anthonyted I remember when we looked up to America. Then we learned about the illegal wars, the war crimes, the support for dictators, the promotion and use of torture, the illegal renditions, and a tsunami of human rights violations. And now you have Trump in the White House.

anthonyted Guns will define the Nation.

anthonyted There is no question. There is only one which will define the nation and endure, TRUTH & JUSTICE for ALL.

anthonyted Are the hospitals overwhelmed with protesters who must be spreading the ten-times-more-deadly-than-the-flu virus which caused you to shut down New York’s economy? SURELY the hospitals must be filled to the brim?

anthonyted no the storyline hasn't changed white supremacy is be crushed and white reporters are looking for a new angle

anthonyted First the virus came in to weaken the country, kill off the vulnerable to raise the death toll and cause massive job losses. Then on cue the race baiting and riots courtesy of their antifa minions. I'll never forgive the Democrats and the media for destroying this country.

anthonyted Hugs & love after fighting. USA a great nation that often can weather storms after USA people realising they need to get through crisis- together.

anthonyted Law and Order. The pendulum will swing hard in that direction.

anthonyted CNN FINALLY covered how David Dorn was murdered during riots in STL!!!!!!!!

anthonyted Since George Floyd has died, rioters and looters have killed more unarmed black people than the police.

anthonyted We are fucked
