You and your broad based assumptions never cease to amaze me. If you were to take a guess, what percentage of people who live in Texas do you actually know personally? .000001%?
I also lived in Alaska for 5 years and met a lot of great people. I also met a few drunks and drug addicts. I couldn't make any broad based assumptions about the people as a whole because there's no way possible for me to know the character of a large enough sample. Maybe you have some cosmic ability us normal people lack.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

AND SO HAVE I.....the thing is, being up close and personal as a private pilot,or guide,or lodge owner,
they will relate stories the same sentiment. In Alaska, there usually r three kinds of people,those
that r running from something in the lower 48 or those who come up to be ALONE (Cheechakos) and
then there r "sourdoughs"....born,raised and will NEVER leave until they die.
"That period of war and disturbance which was the inevitable first consequence of the “Forward Policy” must in any case have been disturbed and expensive. Regarded from an economic standpoint, the trade of the frontier valleys will never pay a shilling in the pound on the military expenditure necessary to preserve order. . .
The “Full steam ahead” method would be undoubtedly the most desirable. This is the military view. Mobilise, it is urged, a nice field force, and operate at leisure in the frontier valleys, until they are as safe a Hyde Park. Nor need this course necessarily involve the extermination of the inhabitants. Military rule is the best rule suited to the character and comprehension of the tribesmen. They will soon recognize the futility of resistance, and will gradually welcome the increase of wealth and comfort that will follow a stable government. . . Only one real objection has been advanced against this plan. But it is a crushing one, and it constitutes the most serious argument against the whole “Forward Policy.” It is this: we have neither the troops nor the money to carry it out.

Source of quote, please? With no end quote to your beginning quote and quotes within quotes, it's hard to discern if the entire thing is a quote or not.
On Sunday morning, former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, compared Americans who oppose getting vaccinated or wearing masks to the Islamic terrorists who attacked Kabul airport and killed 13 members of the United states military.
Duncan tweeted, “Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions are between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here? They both blow themselves up, inflict harm on those around them, and are convinced they are fighting for freedom.”

Here's a good one that caused me to shoot Pepsi out of my nose when I heard it LOL :
Biden began to describe damage from tornadoes to communities in the middle of the country.
"The members of Congress know, from their colleagues in Congress that, uh, you know, the, looks like a tornado, they don't call them that anymore, that hit the crops and wetlands in the middle of the country, in Iowa and Nevada. It's just across the board."
It 's much better when you actually hear him speak these words. What kind of twilight zone am I living in when this guy is the most powerful person in the world?
I watched the video. You are correct. It is very saddening that he is the face of the United States. The question is begged, who is actually making the decisions that emanate from the office of the President.
I keep thinking about one of Biden's lines, "America is back!". I have to wonder, back from what? Back from a secure border? Back from a booming economy? Back from energy independence? Someone please tell me what this guy and his progressive sting pullers have made better in the last 9 months.

Have we forgotten just how SLOW the "machine" (government) works? It is almost as if U expect to twitch
Samantha's nose and PRESTO it is ALL good. FOUR YEARS,we r 9 months in....there is a shitload of
games being played (NO bipartisan plan).....let's just chop off a finger or two and see how much blood can
be drained....maybe the patient will die a slow painful death and then we can bury the bullshit and start over.
