BLUNT VOTING

Here's a tale about liberal politics and  blunt voting in a new Africa state.

Let's call it Isabel Wilkerson Buggerland:

Great post!

"...Among Democrats, I think, we are seeing the results of a strategy that they have pursued for about 70 years: the use of the federal court system to secure their objectives..." DK

One can look back at Republicans' use and abuse of the "federal system", Reconstruction, and the resultant following on of Jim Crow under Republicans, over a similarly long 70 year Republican controlled period, as somehow analogous.

I view both Reconstruction and Jim Crow, and the LIEO Democratic monopolization of the

Supreme Court, and the subsequent Republican resurgence of Court appointments, with indifference.

All the best

Northern white voters, who had elected Lincoln mainly to get rid of negroes, never dreamed that he would free them without transportation, put 100,000 of them in the Union Army, that then Radical Republicans would multi vote them in gangs marched around Southern polling stations, and actually put them in political control as a race of Southern states and cities, or allow them to migrate North.

Jim Crow was a national phenomenon seen mostly in the South, but negroes were not free to migrate North unfettered with Northern states' diverse regulations.

Voting, as well as control of Congress and the Supreme Court, is what a ruling party can make of it over against the states and their citizens, north south east or west.

All the best
