Transition Looks Like Old Confederacy And Not America.

You would think that the South had won the war and we are watching a transition from one Confederate president to another. The cabinet line up is looking like a line up from hell. We face the prospect of going back a century in so many ways.

We could have an evangelical creationist at Department of Education as an example. So when we see the line up filled it will look like something we have never seen before. And it will be just so ugly that we cannot even look at it lest we turn to stone.

...Yankees think the Civil War ended, Southerners know it was just an extended cease-fire.

A quote from a very senior Walmart exec about 10 years ago in a meeting where he was chuckling, with a twinkle in his eye, about screwing another "yankee" company - offering it up to us (also a "yankee" company) as a little bit of a warning.

It's not that they think they won, it's that they don't think it's over. And this election certainly looks like a "south will rise again" result.

Apologies to the progressives living in southern states - I really do believe that you're the wonderful anomalies (vs. the norm) in those states.
