The United States
George Washington, President
Honorable mention, Thomas Jefferson - Declaration of Independence
“ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
The Confederate States (failed)
Jefferson Davis, president
Alexander H Stephens, Vice President
“ Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.”
Edward Alfred Pollard "The Lost Cause" - “The question was no longer slavery, but white supremacy, which Pollard described as the “true cause of the war” and the “true hope of the South.”
MAGA (failing)
Dishonorable mention, Stephen Miller
Trump and MAGA are revolutionaries, not politicians. Trump just thinks he should be king, but MAGA are authoritarian dictators hell bent on ending our democratically elected Republic, and overthrowing the Constitution and Rule of Law.
Donald Trump, president
“The powers of the President shall not be questioned “
They will fail. I believe America is better than this repeated rise of white supremacists trying to crush all human progress in America. They were slavers, then Jim Crow terrorists, then McCarthy red baiters, and now MAGA bullies. They always lose. And will again. I deeply hope and believe.
