About 100 years ago, Calvin Goss, my paternal grandfather, signed up with the KKK in Fresno, California. His Klan recruiter got to keep half the ten dollars a membership cost. He’d told Cal that the KKK served free beer at its meetings, the first of many lies used to separate untutored white men from their money.
Disappointed, Cal quit a year later.

Consider Andrew Jackson, who defied the court system. He rounded up American Indians and deported them, in brutal conditions, to Oklahoma. Consider FDR, who sent innocent Japanese-American citizens to concentration camps for years. During the Civil War, Lincoln jailed suspected Democrats, ignoring the Constitution.

The USA has always had a large MAGA group devoted to making America white, male and Christian.
They lynched Joseph Smith. They murdered Medgar Evers.
MAGA is built in. It hides like shingles and then returns. We should fight MAGA. We will win significant battles but not see a final victory.
