"The Civil War was not about Slavery, it was about States' Rights." Yeah, "states' rights" is code for "them darn nigras …" However, creating a centralized power structure for the US is somewhat problematic, as we have seen what happens when idiots and scumbags gain control of it.
I even have my misgivings about "freedom". The way that word is used is seriously wrong. It applies to the people I think it should apply to, not that half of the country who are not real Americans. Why should those people, furriners in their own land, be handed freedom and privilege just for free when they do not even belong here? America belongs to the folks I think it should, the people as think like me, and those Unamericans should be taken out and …
Of interest the Union of Ststes was created to fight a common enemy, England at the time. And to do this, fundamental differences were set aside to be dealt with later, namely slavery and we see how that went, the country almost split up 70 years later over States Rights and would have if the Confederacy had won our Civil War.
We are in no less of a crisis today as the same kind of ass hats who wanted slaves control a large number of States even though they are a minority. And today instead of declaring a civil war, they are busy trying to pretend they believe in the Constitution while legislating away voter rights based on BIG FAT LIES, because if they told the truth there would be no justification for the road blocks being erected against our democracy and ability to vote.
As previously reported in Texas, they are busy gerrymandering voting districts, consolidating Democrat/liberal voting blocks into fewer districts while expanding the numbers of Republican/conservative districts, which amounts to blatant corruption of the system, and which is mind boggling, because they are crafting a layout where liberals have relatively less representation based on greater numbers, and conservatives will have more representation in the State govt based on fewer numbers. This is the only reason Republicans still control the State of Texas.
These anti-democracy bastards must be dealt with before it’s too late or eventually we will have revolutions at the State level, possibly in multiple states. You either have an honestly governed system (as honest as humans can manage to have) or you can have LIES and CHEATING, and anything they think they can get away with. It was Georgia (I think) who wanted the ability of the legislature to overturn the results of any election they did not like the results of. Sure,they added some stipulations such as “if voter fraud” but really that is just their smoke, a blank check to seize power indefinitely just because they currently hold power.
And as they steal the election, steal your democracy, they will look at the cameras with straight faces and report how they saved our democracy, with a flag draped behind them. This is no different than Mother Russia and Putin, a corrupted voting system based on the lies of those who want to hold power and will do whatever is necessary to hang onto it.
