I disagree I think the Republicans are the modern embodiment of the real American Spirit.
Founded on genocide and chattel slavery, grown with more genocide and wars of expansion. White hegemony enforced through laws and lynchings. Redlining, supreme Court approved internment camps, so many wars on poor countries filled with brown people that have done literally nothing to us.
Any progress you feel is a modern affect and not actually reaching the core of who we are as a people…
