I come from sentimentalists. I know the dangers. Sentimentalism can be a kind of denial. A failure to see the reality. We are beset by that now.
The reality of it is that we have a flourishing Nazi Party in America. I don't fault anybody for an attachment to our, American, ideals.
I don't fault anybody for a sentimental attachment to their own experiences. America was the promised land for my family. But not for everyone.
And those people, the people with grudges, have taken over. They are a hate movement. And they think they are justified.
They think they are justified to the point of doing whatever is necessary to reestablish white supremacy and their, Republican, racist hegemony.
