6. The South has won the Civil War

NO, THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

White supremacists have been working for years to overturn the Federal victory at Appomattox. First came the end of Reconstruction with the Hayes-Tilden 1876 election. Then came Southern Redemption and Jim Crow. We thought the Voting Rights and Civil Rights acts of 1964 and 1965 were the end of it.

No one wanted to admit that Southern whites along with a lot of white people in the rest of the country were white supremacists. They've slowly worked toward this day for over 100 years and now they win.

Look for 25-30 Black Democrats to leave Congress after the elections of 2026 and 2028 -- that's assuming we have elections in 2026 or 2028. The South will then control Congress as it did until the 1960's.
