The United States continues to be in a civil war.This is not only an ordinary civil war, but a real American civil war.Back to the first round of the 1860s, the Federation was defeated.But now the Federation is temporarily leading, and the United States is still split by two cultures.
From the beginning, the United States has always been two battlefields with opposing visions.The founding of the United States in the United States is equal and equal.However, the reality in the founding of the People's Republic of China was far equal than others than others.White men have slaves, deprived of women's voting rights, and captured the land and life of the original residents of Indians.
During the civil war from 1861 to 1865, the slave -slave federation consisting of 13 split states was defeated by 19 northern states and was occupied by the federal government for more than ten years.However, after the end of 1877, the south vigorously promoted systemic racial discrimination in the past century. Until the US Congress, with the support of the North Democratic Party, passed the 1964 Civil Affairs Act and 1965 in 1965Election right bill.Since then, white voters in the south have collectively abandoned the Democratic Party.The Republican Party pursues the so -called southern strategy, resist the rise of African Americans and other ethnic groups, and oppose them to the bill, status or power to them.
The Republican Party also became the Southern Party. The Democratic Party represented the Northeast and western Pacific, while the central and western regions became swing areas.The five major lake areas in the industry are biased towards the Democratic Party, while the Republican Party is more likely to be supported by agricultural states and mountains in the central and western regions.In the central and western regions and states of the mountains, white settlers also suppress the border culture of American Aboriginal, Asian and Spanish immigrants.
The ownership of the gun marks another difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.The Republican gun culture reflects the same cultural forces that shape their anti -ethnic views.
Historian Dunba MDASH; Roxanne Dunbar-Orgiz reminded us in a wonderful book bullet carving that the second amendment of the US Constitution protects the right to carry weapons, and the discipline mentioned in the amendment is strict.The militia soldiers attacked the villages of the American Aboriginal Village and hunting a white group of slaves.
Avidit ACharya, Matthew Blackwell, and Middot; Maya Sen (Maya Sen) is close to them: how slavery still affects strong arguments in the southern politics.The leftover problem of racial isolation has spawned the current political culture of the south.They pointed out: In areas where slavery in the past, white people are most likely to oppose the Democratic Party, oppose equal rights, and express their moods that may be regarded as racial hatred.
Before and after the civil war, the poor southern white people accepted their humble status because they attached great importance to their superior African Americans.Racial politics has hindered the rise of class politics, and the latter can have united poor white and black people, requiring more public services by levying higher taxes on white elites.
Of the 26 senators on behalf of the 13 former Fedeic United States today, 21 were Republicans, and only five came from the Democratic Party.Today, of the 38 senators of the 19 North State in 1861, 27 were from the Democratic Party, and only nine from the Republican Party (and two were independent and non -party, Bernie Sanders and Ang.Sriddot; Angus King, they are the same line as Democrats).From a geographical point of view, President Trump belongs to a different number and is a pro -south racist from Liberty New York.Trump supports the southern culture that advocates white men, but his hometown is afraid of him (the polls as of September 2018 show that his non -support rate is 59 %).He is not like from Manhattan, but more like Mississippi.
Recently confirmed that Judge Cavano's nomination procedures for the Senate's Supreme Court Justice, fully demonstrated the above -mentioned cultural gap.The supporters of Cavano's Senate are mainly white men in the south and the central and western regions. Through attacking the allegations of the nominated person, they diverted people to advocate that young white men had a question of drinking alcohol and finding fun.Mitch McConnell, a former slave state, successfully planned Cavano's nomination confirmation.The slave's South Carolina was the first to leave the Federation in 1860, and Lindsey Graham from the state is the strongest supporter of Cavano in the Senate Judiciary Committee.Nuo's sexual assault charges describe the most immoral scam for self -politics.John Kennedy, another former United States, uses the galaxy -level deformity show to describe the Senate hearing.
The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are not only political parties from different cultures and regions, but also represent different economies.In terms of high -tech, innovation, higher education, high salaries, and per capita income, states along the Northeast and Pacific Ocean have been among the best in the United States.The south is far from comparable.The white artificial salary class in the south and the central and western regions is not only to defend their status and racial privileges, but also fighting for their employment positions, because in the industry they live, automation and foreign trade are constantly eroding employment positions.
If you are willing to abandon the Race Politics of the Republican Party and believe in class politics, white people from the working class will get a lot of benefits.In the final analysis, it is the elite of white corporates, not poor African, Spanish, and other ethnic minorities. It deprives the working -class white people who have the right to enjoy high -quality public education, cheap medical care and environmental safety.Part of the purpose of the white male senators in the southern southern southern is to protect the Republican super rich donors. They enjoy the feast brought by corporate tax reduction and relaxation of environmental control.American.
In the past 20 years, non -Spanish white people have declined in the total population, which may expand the cultural differences in the United States.It is expected that by 2045, non -Spanish white people will become a minority of the total population, which may cause the United States to worsen the civil war.Unless all regions, races, and ethnic groups of working class are united and requires rich corporate elites to pay more taxes and bear more responsibilities, the war will not end.
