Thank you for calling out apropos historical parallels to our current political climate, and for pointing out Stefanik’s role in the harmful hyperbolic rhetoric.
Also, thanks for posting the couple dancing. An elixir, for sure.
I love the irony of Elise Stefanik going on Steve Bannon’s podcast and blathering about the supposed corruption of Joe Biden.
This is the same Bannon that got a pardon from Donald Trump for ripping off Trump’s supporters for money that was supposed to go to building the wall that Mexico was going to pay for.
If Stefanik hasn’t lost her mind then she’s gaslighting. It’s likely the latter and I can’t believe most people, even upstate Republicans, aren’t insulted that they’re expected to believe that Biden is more corrupt than Trump. 🙄 They should have some respect for their own intelligence.
Whatever happened to Hunter’s laptop anyway? Now there’s a mysterious piece of paper the FBI has that proves Biden’s corruption. Give us all a break!
Remember that the Emancipation proclamation was intended as a wartime tactic. Lincoln did not free the slaves in Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Why? Because they were loyal to the North and he did not want those states to flip to the Confederacy. Lincoln wanted to create a slave revolt in the South of a kind that had happened 60 years earlier in Haiti after the French revolution. His reasoning was all the young white male southerners were up north fighting the Yankees. The plantations were being run by women and children. Surely the slaves would revolt and cause a fatal blow to the Rebels if they were freed. A relative few did. Why?
We are engaged in a new chapter of our civil war, testing anew whether we can endure and live up to Lincoln’s ideals.

Great point Kevin.
Very thoughtful commentary on Stefanik and a shout out for Glens Falls' celebration of Pride Week.
