Well, here's the thing. I think where we feverishly disagree is on this notion of the American dream. One person's American dream tends to be another person's American nightmare. What sort of dream is there for a country that is built on the exploitation of the indigenous people that live there and the exploitation of imported people through chattel slavery? When we look at

the modern fashion industry, when we look at the Industrial Revolution, we need to recognize what is behind all of that is slavery and colonialism and exploitation of labor and goods and resources. And so... I just don't know if I would ever agree with the Republican Party on this notion of the existence of such a dream.

But I do agree that access to cheap goods isn't something that we should really honestly prize above all. The problem I see is we have eroding social safety nets in our society. And so because of that, that lack of actual systems that work for people, people are leaning into consumerism. I see this all the time in my generation, right?

Can't buy a house, don't have healthcare, but you know what you can get? You can get a cheap summer dress and that'll be the bandaid that you'll put over the scrape on your arm that's annoying you that you're not gonna go to a doctor to check out because you don't have health insurance.

that you shouldn't get mad at immigrants that you think are taking your job. That's not who's taking your job.
