The Most Important Election in American History?
Mark Lewis
We’ve had some important presidential elections in American history, of course. The election of 1800 decelerated the Federalists’ attempt to expand the federal government. 1828 led to increased democracy. James K. Polk’s election in 1844 allowed for the entrance of Texas into the United States. 1860 was perhaps the most important election we’ve ever had because it preceded our tragic internecine war. And there have been other important elections as well. 1912, 1932, 1960, 1980 come to mind.
But this year might be the most important election in our nation’s history. The ideological division in America is the greatest it has ever been—even during the pre-War Between the States era. And the contrast between the two candidates (regardless of whom the Democrats finally nominate) could not be more dramatic: one a decided pro-American patriot, the other an unequivocal Leftist totalitarian heading a party that gives every indication it hates everything traditional America stands for and wants to continue to take the country down a determined leftward, morally decadent path. 2024 will decide which course the country will follow.
Rip Van Winkle slept for 20 years and was surprised at the country he woke up in. Patriotic, God-fearing Americans have slept for about 60 years, but are beginning to awaken. And they are utterly appalled at the nation they have woken up in.
