An important insight--and leads to the conclusion that in both cases with everything on the line, the approach of the doomed species (slaveholders and their descendants, the modern GOP) becomes "win at any cost." Many Dems today fail to recognize this or what it demands of them.

Lincoln said it best. As Southern slaveholders felt power slipping out of their hands, their intention was to "rule or ruin" the nation. It is a tragic irony of our history that the ex-Party of Lincoln, now the actual Party of Trump, would adopt that same strategy.

I agree. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, tax cuts to starve social programs, lying with no consequences, overt racism, cynical use of religion as a weapon - all to thwart the will of the people. Sad. I hope you are correct that they are doomed.

I grew up in the 60s in south Alabama. When Dixie was played every Friday at assembly, along with the hootin and hollerin ... “ I wish I was in the land of cotton. Old times there are not forgotten”. I stayed seated.

Oh dear. I live there now ( a Ky transplant) and it’s not a fun place for a liberal Democrat.
