	Typical Americans are not really keeping up with politics
because they find it too too boring. It is pretty boring but very
important  For a long while the parties both were very similar
but since the Advent in 2015 they have become more distinct but
since very wealthy people control the majority of the media in
the USA they have obscured the changes, hoping to keep the
consumers sedated.

	 The party of Lincoln is now the party of the myth of
"the Lost Cause", the anti-Christian Christian White
Nationalists and of simply Money.
	The once Southern-based Democratic Party of the 1930s
has been replaced by one that is a coalition of people who feel
injured by the ideas of the Confederates, the Monied Classes,
and  prurient Puritans of all stripes.

	On November 6th if we are fortunate we will see if the
non-scheme, non-conspiracy, of the totally independent thinking
media has succeeded or more hopefully failed.

	But that is just my poor opinion.
