The victor in the Civil War wasn’t the ‘North’. It was the United States. We beat a violent, traitorous faction.
But that faction lived on through Jim Crow, the ‘Southern Strategy’, now MAGA…
The GOP, Fox & more are infected by the faction. The insurrection is ongoing.
The key tool being used by the faction now is the Big Lie.
They seek to limit access to the ballot box and institutionalize the ability of the faction’s current party - the GOP - to overturn election results.
They seek to defeat the US from the inside, but it’s the same war.
The goal is to rule from the minority. Their coalition is strong & disciplined and includes:
Fox, OAN, Sinclair, Daily Wire, Breitbart, White Evangelical churches, paramilitary groups, Federalist Society, Judicial Watch, Council for National Policy & the Republican Party & more.
The faction is expert at uniting a fervent base by enflaming White resentment.
It’s the same strategy they’ve always had, though the political and social groups that they’ve infected have shifted over time.
White supremacy is always at the core of their ideology.
It’s important to know who the real enemy is so that you can stop fighting battles and realize there’s a full-scale war being waged by a determined, seditious enemy.
The entire faction must be defeated, not just the GOP.
Happy #4thofJuly. May the United States prevail.
