DiogenesLamp: "Your attempts to constantly point out the irrelevant claim that Democrats are behind all this is deliberate noise."

Exactly wrong -- it's your efforts to obscure the fact that your own people, Southern Democrats ruled Washington DC in alliance with Northern Democrats, those "Northeastern power brokers" in New York, ruled basically from 1801 until secession in 1861 -- denying it is your deliberate deception here.

Democrats in 1860, Democrats tiday.
In 1860 they allied with Southern slaveholding Democrats, today they ally with Left Coast Democrats.

But it's still just Democrats, it's always been Democrats.
Republicans were always a quite different group of people.
