Yes, and also, sadly, it speaks to a certain aspect of America’s character that we have always struggled with. In a way, the Founders all knew “We the People” was a con from the get-go. They rationalized it as “the-best-we-could-do”, while still owning black and brown humans and ignoring their own white women’s inalienable rights. But they got to keep their property and the ever slippery, shape-shifting rational for it. tump accentuating and unleashing the “mean-spirited, foul-mouthed bully” American Id always below the social surface. The aggrieved “I-want-mine!!!!”, zero-sum, fear-marinated trump supporter is our embarrassing antecedent of the disingenuous Founders. Talk about “Originalism”! The problem is that others actually were inspired and attracted ( and still are!!!) to the lofty words and have worked, suffered, and bled for them . We continue that work. But the mean-spirit, and foul-mouthed bullies are formidably hate-mongered for a political end that will not serve to elevate more that their conceit.
