Dear critical-reader, the question to ponder over is: Should empathetic commonsensical openmindness not prevail, in the foolish and ruinous MAGA cultural wars now raging across the entirety of the continental landmass of the United States of America?

With the greatest respect, if even today's descendants of the various American Indian tribes, whose ancestors were robbed of their lands in the most egregious of fashions, by desperate immigrants from Europe seeking a new fresh start in life, away from tyrannical European monarchies, are not seeking ethnic supremacy, why are MAGA-types so bent on using cultural-wars dog-whistling-shibboleths, to dehumanise fellow citizens with whom they share membership of the one human race, in a melting-pot society bedrocked on the affirming-declaration that all in it are created equal, and have inalienable rights, including the right not to be discrimated against?

For the sake of America's younger generations, their children and the unborn kids of those children, empathetic commonsensical openmindness should, and must prevail, in the ruinous and foolish so-called MAGA cultural wars. Full stop. A word to the wise...
