In the introduction to his book, "American Nations," (2011) Colin Woodward makes cultural, lifestyle, historical, and values-based observations that support the notion that the United States is not as united as we think and advances the possibility of secession and the creation of several nations where we find the U.S. on a map today, some areas becoming independent states including territory from our borders with Mexico and Canada:
Yankeedom: "Yankees have sought to build a more perfect society here on Earth through social engineering, relatively extensive citizen involvement in the political process, and the aggressive assimilation of foreigners. Settled by stable, educated families, Yankeedom has always had a middle-class ethos and considerable respect for intellectual achievement....(its) underlying drive (is) to improve the world and the set of moral and social values that scholars have sometimes described as 'secular Puritanism.'"
"The Deep South was founded by Barbados slave lords as a West Indies-style slave society....For most of American history, the region has been a bastion of white supremacy, aristocratic privilege, and a version of classical Republicanism modeled in the slave States of the ancient world, where democracy was a privilege of the few and enslavement the natural lot of the many."
"Having forged an uneasy 'Dixie' coalition with Appalachia and Tidewater in the 1870's, the Deep South is locked in an epic battle with Yankeedom and its Left Coast and New Netherlands allies for the future of the federation."
"...since 1976 Americans have been relocating to communities where people share their values and worldview. As a result, the proportion of voters living in counties that give landslide support to one party or another (defined as more than a 20 percent margin of victory) increased from 26.8 percent in 1976 to 48.3 percent in 2004. Immigrant avoided the deep red counties, with only 5 percent living in them in 2004, compared with 21 percent in deep blue counties."
Based on these observations in 2011, the election of a white supremacist ruling by divine right and despising minorities, including all of color, was not at all surprising. Nor was the rise of an aristocracy defined as those Americans in the wealthiest .1 percent of the population.
Unfortunately, awareness of these realities brings with them an awareness of how difficult it will be to resolve the political problems facing our nation.
Steve I'm very impressed that you took the time to march with the people and Reverend Barber.
It'll be interesting to see your thoughts as a historian; your take on what that March meant for the mass of people and what it meant to you as a white man. Those people, those people's power your group (SAVE AMERICA) should totally tap into. Reverend Barber could use your group's space to give his group a more frontal view/exposure. They work hard to represent all class, caste of people.
I look forward to your writings on your experience/spiritual experience with the people/march.
Everyone In Cheeto’s Regime Wear A Swastika: The Christian Cross
It’s been obvious for several years now that the Christian Nationalist movement modeled after Victor Orban’s political movement in Hungary has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with white supremacy and fascistic takeover of the federal government
“We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian.” Adolph Hitler 1928
The Nazi Republicans want to destroy all things that conservatives don’t have control over Not only attack university endowments but also go after the private sector and make them “feel economic pain” The Nazi Republicans feel that the country is in late republican period(meaning the final days of a democratic republic) This link from the Maddow show exposes the intent of the current Nazi regime https://bit.ly/3BrXePA
So the current flaunting of a Christian cross as an accessory at press conferences might as well be wearing a swastika
Thanks for the photo including Tucker and Mabel. Have a great day.

I loved your appearance on the Jim Acosta show. Outstanding. And the ads are breathtaking.
