Dialogue

by Alexander Shaumyan — Read all 180 poems by Alexander Shaumyan

A civil dialogue between a modern self-righteous "virtue signaling woke liberal" (not to be confused with classical liberalism) and a rural "redneck conservative".

Classical liberalism is a political tradition that emphasizes the importance of individual autonomy, limited government, and civil liberties. It advocates for free markets and minimal state intervention in both personal and economic matters.

Dialogue

Virtue signaling liberal (on his $1000 iPhone):
End white supremacy! Smash the state!
Fight racist cops and fascist hate!

Flag-waving redneck:

If you don't like it, go away!
But, as for me, it's USA!
Just get a job, work with your hands,
Stop blaming Trump and this great land.

Virtue signaling liberal (on his $1000 MacBook):

You neo-fascist racist scum--
You are just ignorant and dumb--
It's time to welcome refugees
And, for black lives, to take a knee.

Flag-waving redneck:

Go, welcome them into your home--
But as, for me, leave me alone--
I give to those who are in need
And don't show off my righteous deeds.

Virtue signaling liberal (in his $25,000 Prius):

The climate change will kill us all--
You selfish, ignorant asshole!

Flag-waving redneck:

Relax, my friend, enjoy your day--
The science's not settled anyway--
We could be killed by some disease,
Iranian nukes or cottage cheese--
Enjoy your life and have some fun--
Or get a dog and buy a gun
And stay inside and wear a mask--
Saving the world's too big a task.
