(12,712 posts)Their ignorant projections of repressed emotions and traumas, combined with their tendency to lack empathy or compassion wrapped in a self-righteous, malignant style of individualism and a yearning for power and control over others would most definitely create some form of a nightmare dystopia for everyone else.
Their obvious need for an authoritarian Father figure to be in charge in order for them to feel "safe" not only reflects antipathy for true freedom, it is now antiquated and only useful for despots and Oligarchs who would foist a Neo-Feudalism on the world if given the chance. To preserve, strengthen and grow a health democracy, seeing that contrast is essential.
This is not acceptable and the remedy is to be vigilant, well-informed and to even understand them better than they are able to understand themselves. Not only does that surely distinguish us from their immature and dark world view, it gives us the power and ability to thwart their attempts to fashion the world in their unacknowledged shadow. Whether they do it by way of using ideology or religion, we will not be fooled and we cannot acquiesce to that.
Now is the time when the law, real justice and truth must be on our minds and held up high as the symbols of what we stand for in this time of great crisis.
Lock him up.

(6,169 posts)It's easy to glorify war, and look for a reason to take up arms.
But, the reality is far removed from the fantasy.
War truly is hell.
And a civil war is a special kind of hell...nothing civil about it at all.
No good can come from it as far as the nation is concerned.
However, Putin would be dancing with glee.

(18,470 posts)Im not saying we should have parking lotted everything g below the Mason Dixon line but I think we couldve been a bit harder on the south after the war. We basically left their culture and institutions intact and let the leadership go with a slap on the wrist.
We didnt make that mistake after World War II which is why Germany recovered and doesnt idolize its past now.

(7,478 posts)Neither the Republican nor the Democrat won a majority in the Electoral College so the election went to the House of Representatives. They compromised by voting for the Republican in exchange for removing the troops occupying the South. Without the troops to protect them, African Americans were reduced to legal serfdom for the next century. [link:https://www.270towin.com/1876_Election/|
