Phil-Thanks for highlighting the fact that we’re still fighting the “Civil War”. In his book entitled A Short History of the Confederate States of America (1890) Jefferson Davis defended the Lost Cause claiming that the war was not about slavery. He wrote, it was “simply political struggles between sections with diverse institutions and conflicting interests”. Of course the institution of slavery was the south’s interest so his claim is specious.
The powers of the presidency, Congress and Supreme Court (Dred Scott) have been invaluable tools for shaping our society. The struggle for control continues. The Rs have chosen to use strategies and tactics to divide us even further.
Lincoln said “a house divided against itself cannot stand”. I think he’s right. Why are we so divided? Red states are mostly in the south, Midwest, and “heartland”.
We all need to wake up to the enduring issues underlying our “conflicting interests”. Could it be that greed, racism and misogyny are undermining our ability to be the “United” States?
Equality, truth and fairness are on the ballot. This election will let us know where (if) we stand. American has an opportunity to show the world that money won’t rule us, greed won’t be rewarded with power and deranged personalities won’t win. I’m counting on “we the people” because one day we will overcome. Yes we can.
Follow the money. The long ago "Party of Lincoln" gleefully traded it's soul for power and rekindled the embers of the Civil War to obtain dominance, the very issue that they once fought to rectify.
