This young gay tiktoker went viral for speaking the truth: if your vote is entirely based on social culture war issues, you are a privileged person.
His name is Clarkson Lawson, and you can watch his original video here: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFKUM7JR/
In the wake of the American people’s enthusiastic re-election of President Trump on Tuesday, this Gen Z guy asks: “I’m sorry but did you guys think a working family was going to put your sexuality over their grocery prices? Did the democratic party think that putting people’s identity as the front-runner of their campaign, did they think everyday Americans … were going to vote for [that]? Being overly worried about social issues is a privilege. If your vote is entirely based on social culture war issues, you are a privileged person. It’s a privilege. Because the person who can’t afford to eat isn’t going to care whether or not your kid can be put on puberty blockers.”
He goes on to say that he’s a classical liberal and took the words out of my mouth when he says, “I lean right now because everything has shifted so much, but I’m a classic liberal. All I would want is for the democratic party to come back to reality, to stop being so elitist and hating on half the country … I’m a voter in the middle. But [they] don’t listen to me. Because you claim that I’m far right.”
But hey, DNC, not listening brought us this gift!
In my duet of his original tiktok (see my embedded video), I added the song “I’m carrying your love with me” by George Strait. I forgot how beautiful and classically American the lyrics are till the song clip popped up as a suggested add-in while editing my video.
Cause I'm carryin' your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennessee
I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed
Carryin' your love with me
It's my strength for holdin' on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I'll have everything I'll ever need
I'm carryin' your love with me
I’m a classic American — and a classic liberal!
