In response to the recent EU Election flag we need to come to terms with our own American Election flag. Over the years it is impossible to not take notice of so many United States maps that reflect our politics as a graphic.
Whenever it comes to a fight against Civil Rights, voter ID, suppressing minority votes, refusing to take free federal money to insure our poorest, Obamacare, denying Affirmative Action, refusing immigration reform, taking away food stamps, school lunches, unemployment etc, the map always looks much the same as it did regards what it did in 1860 with the slave states and territories highlighted. No getting around it other than screaming RACE CARD whenever anyone mentions it. It’s still there and it is the dominate dynamic of American politics.
