The parallels between 1860 and 2024 are eerie. The Southern enslavers had total contempt for the Constitution and Declaration of Independence--and so do Trump, Vance, Johnson, and the pathetic bunch of mentally crippled kangaroos that passes for a Supreme Court.
Jon- please list specific examples of the above showing contempt for the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
Are you aware of the Biden Administration’s attempt to censure Free Speech over the last three years. Review Missouri v Biden or Berenson v. Biden then ask yourself ‘who the threat to democracy is’?
The above question was for you since you made the statement “ had total contempt for the Constitution and Declaration of Independence--and so do Trump, Vance, Johnson”. So I asked you for the specifics of their contempt.
The Supreme Court's granting of immunity to Donald Trump for criminal activities engaged in during his Presidency is a prime example. No one is supposed to be above the law. The same court's allowing Trump to run despite the fact that he is a proven insurrectionist is another example. The Constitution states plainly that insurrectionists cannot run for office. What would you have said if in 1868 Jefferson Davis had run for President. . .or Robert E. Lee had run. Beyond that, I guess you haven't heard of Project 2025. I don't have time to go rummaging through cases that have become common knowledge to most informed people. If you don't recognize that someone aligning himself with the most notorious dictators in the world, such as Orban and Putin, and telling supporters that if they vote this time they will never need to vote again is a threat to democracy, there is no hope for you. Please go practice your trolling somewhere else.
You are obviously not an English major. "Your" is not a verb. Two complete sentences, linked together, require punctuation. Learn English grammar before imposing your posts on others. Meanwhile, allow me to inform you that I am myself a published historian. But I do not "cite sources" on command. I am not a trained seal. If that is what you're looking for, go to the zoo, and stop wasting your time and ours.
A ‘published historian’, what is that? What is the Summary Position Description for that job? I hope you are smart enough to understand that when you make a statement you should provide the bases for that statement. If not it is a weak opinion.
Heather- please do a little academic exercise at your whiteboard. Create two columns. In one column please list the oligarchs/power brokers/controllers of Biden/Harris. In the next column please do the same for Trump/Vance.
Make sure you include the media outlets that work everyday to push their oligarch’s ideology. In addition please include higher education institutions in each respective column.
So you won't listen or even Look... Just want to and will waste a lot of our time and not accept or have any reasonable intellectual exchange of ideas and evidence... What an imbecile... Please look up Merriam Webster's definitions... Moron, Idiot, and Imbeciles.
Sorry Terrance I didn’t see your post amidst all of Jon’s missing blows. I did listen to Heather’s entire reading of other people’s words, but I do not understand the arguments in your post. Please clarify. I do see that your only reply was dominated by vague points and name calling. At least you didn’t identify me as a ‘troll’ which is one level above Jon.
Heather used the term ‘oligarch’ in her reading multiple times which is why I posed the academic exercise.
Please read my reply post to Jon regarding ‘name calling’, so I have the same question for you, “Are you a lazy person?”
Jon- didn’t take you long to ‘namecall’!! Can’t intelligently debate so you ‘namecall’. I believe it was either Confucius or the great poet Jim Morrison that said “Namecalling is a lazy person’s argument”.
I have no interest in debating with the likes of you. I have long since blocked people like you from my Facebook page. You are obviously not interested in genuine debate or discussion--only in making trouble.
Please review all of your posts as there was no attempt by you to have a ‘genuine discussion’. I will take your last response as you handing me your sword. Take the “typo” you found and enjy yourself. I purposely misspelled ‘enjoy’ to make you even happier tonight.
The two parties have done a near-total flip since 1860. Lincoln's Republicans are somewhat akin to Canada's New Democratic Party. The Democrats of the day are very close to today's Republicans or Canada's Conservatives, or even People's Party (to the right of the Conservatives). As an aside, I am very glad that my last name is spelled differently than that of Franklin Pierce, the drunken milksop who did as much as anyone to bring on the Civil War, and whose only good deed was helping college classmate Nathaniel Hawthorne get a job. So glad that I don't have to deny kinship with that POS.

If you read Heather's column with even a modicum of care, you wouldn't need to ask such questions.

Please cite the “no one is above the law” text in the Constitution. Or is it a sound bite that appeals to the unintelligent?
Heather — your the history major please help Jon citing his sources. He is a devotee of yours and he needs help to frame intelligent arguments.

Congratulations you found a typo! That’s probably the best you’ve felt in a long time. Wow that’s a burn🤪, that’s all you got??
Jon - I must have missed something, what court ruled or to use your word “proven” that Trump is an insurrectionist?
Have any of the jailed J6ers been even charged or tried of insurrection?
Just asking! Your turn, just hit my chess game clock tick, tick.
Kitty claws are out.
Very hopeful. Thank you for clearly demonstrating that MAGA Republicans are the true RINOs.

I will sit down and wait for your response.

To which we could add: Dolt, Half-Wit, Cretin. . .

You are like someone who comes in, crashes a party, and spends the next half hour dropping turds into the punch bowl.
Wow John! You sure cut to the bone. Stick to your day job. You sound like my grandsons with their ‘turd’ jokes, the oldest is 7.🤪👍
Heather is an extremely busy person and has even less time to respond to this sort of paranoid drivel than I do.
Wow, do you speak for Heather? That sounds like masculine toxicity. That’s not a good behavior for a “Dude for Harris”!
I'm a troll. . .fol-de-rol. Etc.
Sorry to hear that Jon, but at least you admit to your inadequacies, you can be very proud of that.
Heather, my family and I listened to your message today and all were struck by the parallels. We appreciate your work and your perspective.
