“Thanks for again bringing to my attention a person and point of view that I would not otherwise have come across, in the form of Pamela Denise Long.
I was stunned by the divergence between a cogent argument for the support of a specific minority in the USA - descendants of chattel slaves - with the seemingly wildly divergent support by Ms Long of Donald Trump and the modern Republican Party, with the fairly weak argument that this is the party of Lincoln. To me it seems obvious that that is not the case.
Jim, I thought your dismissal of Trump on “charachter” grounds did not follow through to the logical conclusion that this kind of charachter is fundamentally incapable of, and unwilling to fulfil the oat of US presidents to uphold the constitution, and frankly to respect the rule of law in any way... which is now playing out by the justice system catching up with him.
I comment from the only indirectly affected US Ally/Junior partner, Australia. Good luck to you all in the USA, which I wish you from a not disinerested position.
