Relatedly, we're going all the way back to 1776 on this one. The conflict is literally whether we're going to be ruled by a king now.

I think you mean Third Founding. The Second Founding happened 150 years ago.

Meh. I know it's gotten that name. Don't think it deserves it.

I think it deserves it. I mean, eliminating slavery and subordinating states' police powers to federal oversight is a huge change. Only a bit smaller than getting rid of the king the last time around.

I think it mostly papered over cracks. Big changes that were immediately backed away from during Jim Crow

I find Kim Roosevelt’s argument of the second founding persuasive
