I hear what you are feeling Mike. And it does seem like the states are rapidly diverging ( once again) to the free and slave dynamic of our national founding. And while the psychological separation of free and slave is like virtual posturing in a virtual world the nitty gritty of blood and guts and fighting in the dirt will impact the trend line of what actually will happen to us going forward. Plus, I must add, the realities of 2022 in America are not the realities of the 1850 arguments pre-civil war or even the war aftermath of 1890 or the Jim Crow of 1920. If we actually go full tilt as a country into a civil divergence of free and slave our external predators of China and Russia will pluck us like a spring chicken. Also our reality of a global climate crisis will be kicking butt and taking names while we spin about on a whirligig of politics debating slave or free. Our time to argue about founding intent in the constitution will end as we transition to fighting over food and just trying to survive on a hostile planet.
