No-One Is Historic Anymore

Lest we forget, we had a black president for two terms only a few years ago.

The downside of progress, for progressives at least, is that things that were once historic are simply no longer historic.

But since identity is all that matters — rather than virtue, competence, experience, etc. — they continually get increasingly granular in their identity specifications in order to remain historic.

Historic, historic, historic. So much historicness.

Stacey Abrams — whose claim-to-fame is her vocal and shameless rejection of democracy as she insisted that she was the rightful governor of Georgia — released an image on her Twitter account in which she partly blocked the sun, alongside the caption, “My name is Stacey Abrams, and I’m running to make history and serve as the first Black woman governor our country has ever seen.”

My name is Stacey Abrams, and I'm running to make history and serve as the first Black woman governor our country has ever seen.

And who can forget the “historic” terminology used when the utterly incompetent White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was brought in to replace the fleeing Jen Psaki?

Stacey Abrams is aiming to be “historic” because she’s black and a woman. Karine Jean-Pierre is apparently historic because she’s black and a woman and a lesbian.

Historic, historic, historic.

Except, not at all.

Lest we forget, we had a black president for two terms only a few years ago.
