Succotash 'n' Smiles#America: The Land of the #Unbothered and the Home of the Load-Bearing #Discomfort.
If you ever watched the original Lost in Space TV show, I'm sure you remember Dr. Smith. If you never saw it, just know that he was the kind of person who could flatter you and curse you in one breath, and at the same time be planning your demise. Every episode began with the Robinson family trying to move forward, and almost every episode eventually revealed that Smith had been plotting behind their backs the whole time. He was always ready to throw them under the bus the moment he felt threatened. They didn’t trust him and they didn't like him, but because of unforeseen circumstances and a sense of morality, they were stuck with him. He was dead weight they had to carry, and he acted like they were the burden.
There is a certain kind of #American who operates exactly like that. They are historically white, although not defined by race alone, and shaped by a particular inheritance. Charming on the surface, terrified underneath, and willing to alienate everyone else so they can stay delicately comfortable. Their lives aren’t what they claim. They present them as the ideal, but the shine is only surface deep. They insist their way is the best because admitting otherwise would contradict the story they have convinced themselves to believe.
