(8,182 posts)that Reconstruction just kind of withered on the vine. I say it's time to try something like,maybe, the 2nd Great Reconstruction... starting with the new Lewis Voting Rights Act and picking up the pieces of the last Reconstruction to see what could be brought forward and taught as a lesson in this day and age. I'm tired of living my life from one anxious moment to the next. I was safety and security and a little bit or "normalcy"... not matter how weird that normalcy has always been for me. I'm tired of seeing the Dems as the angels of our better natures and I want to get down and dirty on moving this country forward. We've already lost a decade to this man, and more when you consider how far back he's set us. We've got real, existential problems we need to deal with. And we need these luddites out of the way, and away from any violence they could commit.
