Lilliana Mason, a Johns Hopkins University political scientist, told me that the experience of Jim Crow segregation offers an important reference point for understanding how far red states might take this movement to roll back civil rights and liberties—not that they literally would seek to restore segregation, but that they are comfortable with “a time when states” had laws so “entirely different” that they created a form of domestic apartheid. As the distance widens between the two sections, she said, “there are all kinds of potential for really deep disruptions, social disruptions, that aren’t just about our feelings and our opinions.”
To Podhorzer, the growing separation means that after the period of fading distinctions, bedrock differences dating back to the country’s founding are resurfacing. And one crucial element of that, he argues, is the return of what he calls “one-party rule in the red nation.”
HISTORY has a way of repeating itself. (THE FOURTH TURNING)
The present reality is that black people and other minorities are figuring out the Democrat grift and are leaving the party like never before. They are seeing what happens to their standards of living when you give power to progressives. Their promises have never come true and the voters who are awake clearly see where this country is headed under their rule, and it's not good.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
I love that America has fifty separate state "laboratories" to try out new laws and styles of living. It can be as simple as Arizona saying no to Daylight Savings" or New Jersey believing that you can't trust the general public to pump their own gasoline.
