I’m coming out. I’m joining the alphabet soup crowd.
Why should the sexual orientation gang monopolize the fun with their all-encompassing letter jumbles such as LGBTQQIP2SAA? If you want to know what all that means, feel free to look it up.
My self-identified designation falls within QWERTYUIOP. Similarity of my alphabetic shorthand to the top line of the standard computer keyboard is purely coincidental.
We people who identify as QWERTYUIOP are fed up with governmental and societal insanity. We still believe in the virtues that once made this country great and are battling back against those who would turn us into a censored surveillance society where truth is relative.
Allow me to decode the shorthand for you.
Q – Quixotic. We’re idealistic enough to think this mess can be fixed.
W – Wrathful. We are angry and getting angrier with each additional assault on liberty and individualism.
E – Energized. We see our numbers growing and we are fighting back on several fronts.
R – Right. As in correct; as in being on the right side of history.
T – Tolerant. We are willing to talk. But if you want to disagree, come with facts, not opinions or vague talking points straight out of Mao’s Little Red Book
Y – Yeomanry. Mostly we are members of the landed middle class. We have a stake in this country, one we didn’t get handed to us by the government.
U – Unbowed. Nothing the keyboard warriors or their masters can do will make us conform to their skewed reality.
I – Inscrutable. Just because we aren’t setting up autonomous zones and rioting, do not make the mistake of thinking we are soft bystanders.
O – Obstinate. Some would say being stubborn and unwilling to go with the flow of the times is a negative. But, in the long run, standing up to socialism and intrusive government is the right thing to do.
P – Partisan. Again, no apologies. We stand by our ideals and those who would protect them.
I feel better having come out on this.
Too bad I’m retired. It would be interesting to see if putting on a job application that I identify as QWERTYUIOP would move me to the front of the hiring line. Probably not.
