There is much debate over how the principles we espouse should be brought to bear in other territories, if at all. The tension between universal principles, geography, and culture make for a mess. I strongly believe that without the inculcation of virtue any pursuit of any disciplined self-government is vain. Alas, we’ve lately elected an administration sorely lacking in virtue.
We have installed a regime in power that strives only for that - Power. The power and control over the lives, thoughts and deeds of every person in this country.
It is not going to be a pretty sight in 20 years if they succeed in this. And, at this rate, our stalwart GOPe is doing nothing about it except pandering for black Democrat votes in Mississippi to re-elect a blithering, senile old coot to the Senate that will (unwittingly) march lock-step with his appeasing second-tier masters.
