• I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.

• I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist.

• I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me homophobic.

• I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

• I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.

• I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.

• I am older than 70 and retired, which makes me a useless old man.

• I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.

• I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

• I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

• I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

• I acquired a fair education without student loans (it's called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.

• I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.

• Now, a sick old woman is calling me and my friends a basket of deplorables.

• Please help me come to terms with the new me... because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

• I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking!

• I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly!

• Funny... it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years! And if all this wasn't enough to deal with...

• I'm now afraid to go into either restroom!

It's a good thing you have all that Privilege they are talking about, otherwise I am not sure how you could carry on.

Crazy world we live in I never thought I was that bad of a guy till I read this post but I'm guilty of all but one and in 38 more years I'll be guilty of all of them.
