“The Democrats don't understand the seriousness of the threat,”
The GOP announced to the world 20 years ago that they were planning a soft coup when they published Redmap. The reaction of the elite was much the same back thean as now, yawn, nothing to worry about.
Agreed on the seriousness of the threat but you don't make it any more credible with the misleading math you use. You cite the fact that 38% of the US lives in the South but that of the Republicans in the Senate "26 are from the South, or 52%". You use similar numbers for the House, and you make the clear implication that somehow this is representative of the fascist, non-democratic threat to the country. However the last time I checked 26 out of 100 Senators is 26%, meaning the 52% number you cite just becomes a red herring and an example of a specious argument.
There are many reasons to be very concerned - fearful even - of what is happening in the United States politically right now. Please don't help to confuse the issue with these kind of irrelevant and misleading statistics.
Correcto-mundo! Klu Klux Kountry is as the label on our jar for dirty liquids, (GOP) #GestapoOligarchyParty.
Your article succinctly describes historically, and obviously the condition that entangles us with guns, lies and lawyers, in ugly leadership & imbecile men on the streets.
Excellent newsletter Diane. Finally, someone who describes America’s inglorious history as it truly is. Your title of this article is well chosen. The bitterness and bile continues to spew from the South. 150 years after the end of the Civil War and they are still acting like petty, loser, racist, deadbeats.
America is a land of extremes with just under 50% republican and just over 50% democrat. In the past republicans were business and democrats were unions, simple to understand. Now with Twitter, Facebook and Google everyone can join another cause be it right or left and the extremes arise. Bernie Sanders ( Net worth only 3 million) and Elizabeth Warren's communism push the right to the extreme. The middle ground is lost, which is probably most Americans, but the extremes get and have the voice through now widely available internet, brought to you by Microsoft, Google and Apple.

Very worrying but much truth and social media a big contributed.

Ku Klux Klan - please fix so people don’t dismiss your article on the basis you didn’t know how to spell its subject matter.
Great read.
Wow. 😱😱 interesting, but a little over the top in my opinion.
