So we’ve gone up from 4th Amendment violations to the 5th Amendment. Soon it’ll be 6th, and the 13th is a little shaky.

    Yeah, you might need to read some of the journals from the soldiers and maybe remember they evolved into the Klansmen now sitting in office. Not saying the articulated, states-rights reasons. I’m talking on the personal level of those who volunteered to fight for the South. Back then, hate for the left (the abolitionists back then) was being peddled to them through things like religion or newspapers (though maybe not as far reaching as like with Twitter) just as it is today, and some joined up to murder the abolitionists.

      I have read more than I ever want to about it. What is happening now is nothing like the first civil war. What is happening now is from germany in WWII. Its in their words and its in their actions.
