On the other hand, I’d say that Manifest Destiny is definitely pre-1860. Aside from some parlor academics and wildly indignant ideologues (and maybe hard-core Greens), I don’t see anyone organized enough to raise a great hue and cry about Lady Columbia’s comeback.

OTOH, can you image MAGA Republicans pitching fits on Fox or Newsmax because Lady Columbia was used to promote Manifest Destiny or calling for the entire southwestern US and Texas to be returned to Mexico in Toto?

I can’t.

Also, IMO Columbia represents a more nurturing, inclusive vision of America than the swaggering, bullying loud-mouth obnoxious MAGA we’ve seen paraded in front of us these last ten years.

Can you imagine lady Columbia campaigning against health care?


I can’t?

Can you imagine Lady Columbia campaigning to stiff poor families and working parents like the MAGA hypocrites and loudmouths are?

I can’t

Can you imagine Lady Columbia putting up with the likes of the late Rush Limbaugh or his vicious successors?

I can’t.

There may be conflicts, but I donn’t think they loom as large as some might like to think.
