Across time, we have seen this constant struggle between the plutocratic class and "we the people"; the 1800s leading up to the civil war; the 1890s up to the depression; and from the Reagan years to today. Interesting how Dr. Cox wove this fabric in her 2020 book, "How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America." The underlying belief that a few wealthy, primarily white men, are entitled to run the country; they know what is best! As in the 1948 election, the people must turn out to fulfill their democratic civic responsibility to prevent this take over and revision of our democracy.
Interesting also how the KKK has morphed into various right wing hate groups who are trying to assert their minority view on the rest of us, much like the extreme religious right groups, e.g., the New Apostolic Reformation who believe “Christians have a God-given right to rule all earthly institutions.”
