Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦🗽This country’s founding was inspired by and grounded in the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Enlightenment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enlightenment</a>.Today we are a symbol of everything Enlightenment-era thinkers opposed: <a href="https://babka.social/tags/fundamentalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fundamentalism</a>, <a href="https://babka.social/tags/autocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autocracy</a>, <a href="https://babka.social/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inequality</a>, and <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ignorance</a>. In 1857, an all-white, all-male Supreme Court issued its opinion in Dred Scott v Sandford, authored by its unabashedly racist Chief Justice. That one decision tipped the scales of history, leading to a bloody Civil War and another century of institutionalized <a href="https://babka.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> in America. If one ruling could be so destructive, for so long, imagine how long we might suffer after four years of continuous <a href="https://babka.social/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corruption</a>, <a href="https://babka.social/tags/incompetence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#incompetence</a> , and <a href="https://babka.social/tags/tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tyranny</a>. I don’t know that the country that emerges resembles the one in which we grew up. I don’t know that the Enlightenment dream of America survives.
