DiogenesLamp: "It’s funny how you can see some modern similarities to 1861 but a corrupt big city cartel trying to control the power of Washington DC isn’t one of them."

Of course it is, FRiend, in both cases it was Democrats in charge of the corruption.
Now do you, finally, see the similarities?

You are stuck on the label of "Democrat."

I don't care what they call themselves, they are race obsessed big city Liberals mostly from the North East, and they've controlled Washington DC since the 1840s.

Their philosophy of government is "bigger is better" and they have their fingers in every aspect of redistributing the money Washington DC harvests from the rest of us.

Also they make money from foreign interests by selling their influence in Washington DC. Biden is a prime example.
