As it so happens, my parents also left behind a failed state to come here, seemingly around the same time as yours. So don't go preaching *your* bullshit to me: I've seen the same America you have, except believe it or not, I've found great personal joy and meaning in the aspects of our messy, polycultural society that you gape at in horror. If you want perfect order at the expense of everything else, maybe you should start learning Mandarin. (You can probably get your birth certificate delivered straight from an app! What a life!) Meanwhile, I'll do everything in my political power to make your nightmare of a woke dystopia¹ take root at home. And I will look forward to visiting Queens next time I'm in NYC.

P.S. "ret-conning America" -- America was never supposed to be frozen in ice. I take what some dusty philosophers said 200 years ago under advisement. Other than that, they can fuck off.

> the expense of everything else, maybe you should start learning Mandarin.

My greatest regret is that I wasn’t born Japanese.

> I've found great personal joy and meaning in the aspects of our messy, polycultural society

Good god. Are you one of those people who goes to India and marvels at how “vibrant” it is? That sentence just radiates inefficiency.

> Meanwhile, I'll do everything in my political power to make your nightmare of a woke dystopia take root at home

I already thought that is what democrats were aiming at.

> Immigrant-friendly and deeply multicultural democratic socialism

You’re describing India, except the “immigrant-friendly” part. You’re not describing any functional country that actually exists today. You’re certainly not describing any version of America that’s ever existed.

You’re committing us to an unprecedented social experiment based on romantic bullshit.
