I'm glad but I assume those voting red have been here for a long time, maybe second or third generation. If you live with the American dream then you identify with that more then a stupid label.

Unfortunately the power of labels is real, I have a muslim colleague at work. Early on he dumped some high profile tough case on me without proper justification. I work in tech support. I got angry and told him WTF dude, why did you dump this on me. He instantly accused me of discriminating against him for being muslim. Luckily at the time the company was not as woke as it is now and all I got was sitting in and being scolded at, despite not doing anything wrong. There is no doubt in my mind that if that happened today I would get fired.

Think how much power a label has. This level of control over others, over a giant company is insane. Is like the one ring in a way, power that corrupts.

And there are other stories just like mine from other people I know.
