Must-read VDH tweet: 2023 Democrats the same as the 1861 Democrats
By Andrea Widburg

It’s Christmas Day, and I’m disinclined to write at any length, especially because I suspect most of you are doing something more pleasurable with your time than getting depressed about the state of politics in America today.

Having said that, I didn’t want the day to end without sharing with you a remarkable tweet that Victor Davis Hanson published yesterday, discussing the parallel behaviors of Democrats in 1861—behaviors that led to an extraordinarily violent civil war—and Democrats in 2023 who seem cavalierly unaware that it is possible to break a country and to do so quite badly.

Here’s the tweet:

The takeaway: The Confederates used the concept of state’s rights to sidestep the Constitution and impose totalitarian rule on their states. Today’s Democrats use the concept of “democracy” to sidestep the Constitution and impose totalitarian rule not only on their states but on America as a whole.

VDH:
"2023 Democrats the same as the 1861 Democrats"

Well, that's just fine with me.

Shouldn't we ENCOURAGE the demshevik states on both coasts to "secede" from the Heartland one more time?

Let them go.
Good riddance.
It will solve a lot of problems, and perhaps ensure that at least "the core" of the [former] USA can survive and prosper.

It's either going to be that, or demshevik total rule over all.
Those are your two choices.

   IMHO there are a lot more similarities than differences between LBJ and bidet, historically.
