America does not learn from its mistakes, nor does it heal from trauma.
America is in the midst of a regressive revolution that the regressives have been planning for decades. And do not for a minute fool yourself, Piggy is the natural and logical end point of the conservative philosophy-seeking a higher moral justification for selfishness leads inevitably to a corrupt, nihilist fascist authoritarian state.
These people do not believe in liberal democracy. The concept of 1 man (or woman) 1 vote is anathema to their central beliefs.
They believe, in their core, that the human race is to be ruled by an elite class. That belief is simply the latest version of royalty or the nazi superman or southern slave culture or aristocracy or even many religious organizations.
They certainly do not believe that brown people or women hold the same value as a white male. These Untermensch are only valuable as chattel and certainly not deserving to hold power
Liberal democracy-the concept of equality, of one man (or woman) one vote, of a government OF the people, by the people and for the people, with its striving for equality and justice of protection of minorities, of a social safety net has built a strong foundation over the past 250 years strengthened by winning the Civil war, defeating fascism, economic growth, the miracles of medicine and food production, of technology allowing more and more people to experience freedom.
That foundation has been under attack for decades, but always the foundation held strong.
But that is no longer true
the regressives are winning
The regressives have a plan
The regressives have seized power
