"SNIP.............



Historian Douglas Brinkley told the New York Times that the country has not had a presidential candidate from one of the two major parties try to cast doubt on the entire democratic process and system of government since the brink of the Civil War.

Said Brinkley: “I haven’t seen it since 1860, this threat of delegitimizing the federal government, and Trump is trying to say our entire government is corrupt and the whole system is rigged. And that’s a secessionist, revolutionary motif. That’s someone trying to topple the apple cart entirely.”

1. I said Dyslexics pull down human created systems, or fictions, and Trump does that. Wherever

he goes he pulls down human fictions. He pulled down the lies that the GOP is not racist and that their economic priorities help folk. He is pulling down how democracy works in the USA.

predator.

3. Well Conseratives have been threatening violent rebellion and secession for some time now.

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

We're seeing the distorted effects of the Right-Wing echo chamber. 1/3 of the United States lives in that bubble.

And yes, you are right, we've seen this before... in the 1850s-1860s.

4. The civil war never was resolved

So this makes sense

The 19th Was? Also most opposed in the south

So, pre 1870 antebellum south is were they wish they were

6. Actually, some never accepted the resolution, but it was resolved.

Now ... those who would not accept will have to suck it up ... or become terrorists.

Those are their choices.

7. Considering what happened posât reconstruction

Then the Jim Crow era and then the southern strategy, I think the most virulent strains of infection were stamped but somehow the
disease became endemic

8. Over time, Herpes outbreaks reduce in frequency, and become less severe.

The virus only dies when those who carry it pass away.

This version is on its way out ... but it will linger for a while.

5. Trump supporters do not have the STAMINA to topple the "apple cart".

When he loses, and he will lose HUGELY ... they will grumble ... and do noting accept cash their SS checks.
