If we aren't a melting pot, the best country in the world DUE TO OUR DIVERSITY, what will this mentality bring us?
It will bring us down to a level of mediocrity that every other monocultural country in the world is in.
This behavior is NOT American.

I am SO PROUD to have been both an editor and a contributor to this amazing anthology!
The theme was “Write a story predicting what America will become if Trump and his ilk implement his Agenda 47 platform.”

Any teachers in my feed who are left-leaning, worried about the upcoming second Trump presidency, and willing to beta-read a story I've written for a B Cubed Press anthology entitled REVENGE AND RETRIBUTION?
Coming out just before Inauguration Day?
PM me, if so...
