We want to recognize the ugly parts of our past and do everything we can to say "that's not okay, let's not honor those aggressors, let's not let those things happen again".
They say we want to destroy or rewrite history: we don't, that's a lie. We want people of all sexual orientations to be able to love freely, no matter who you love. They say we want a war against traditional marriage: we don't, that's a lie. We want to work hard and make sure that healthcare and education are affordable for all. They say we want to get everything for free: we don't, that's a lie. We want people of all religions to be able to practice and worship freely. They say we want to wage a war on Christianity and Christian values: we don't, that's a lie. We want logical gun control to help prevent mass shootings. They say we want to take away your guns: we don't, that's a lie. We want to ensure children aren't separated from their parents and that nobody is kept in cages. We want to help people who are coming from unimaginable terror and poverty help to give them the chances we have. We want asylum seekers to be given their chance to seek asylum. They say we want open borders: we don't, that's a lie. We want to weed out racism and ensure the punishments match the crimes and to deprivatize prisons. They say we want to release all prisoners: we don't, that's a lie. We want to weed out racism and unnecessary police brutality and for those who abuse their power to be held accountable. They say we want to disband police departments (and that we hate the police): we don't, that's a lie. There are many untruths being spouted at the RNC. I want the best for my party and my country. As long as Democrats refuse to look, hard and long, in the mirror, and address their own faults, their denial will hurt the party and the country, and their extremism will be but a pendulum swing that inevitably produces extremism in the opposite direction. Refusing personal responsibility and agency eliminates morality and hope for progress. The bad things you are hearing about Democrats? It's all lies, cooked up by those nasty Republicans. This meme doesn't just try to hoodwink the reader it scapegoats Republicans. There is another, more diabolical possibility: those who shared this meme are consciously participating in Orwellian brainwashing attempts. Perhaps the thousands who shared it think that their party is the party of the working man, of patriotism and fair play.
The meme is rife with grammatical and punctuation errors, but, more importantly, it is a pack of lies. It's also on various websites, for example here, and at the Democratic Underground, here. The meme appears on many Facebook pages, including that of "Will and Grace" actress Debra Messing, here. Leftist friends shared a meme on Facebook during the August 24-27 Republican National Convention.
