       You just wish MAGA would speak honestly about their project and vision:"We don't believe in equality. We never really did. The strong must rule the weak. It's not just our right, but our duty."Then, at least, we would have an honest politics, and not all the insulting double-speak.

       In the first version of America, the starting point is quickly refuted, and then things turn to the work of making it true.America 1:ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.I know they're not, but what if they were? How might we do that? How can we make America the thing it was born to be, but never has been?con't

       In the second version of America, the starting point is also refuted, and that's the whole game.America 2:ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.I know they're not, and I'm not interested in their BEING equal. I am only interested in SAYING they are equal as a tactic to prevent and forestall what is required to MAKE them so. con't

       In America 1, EQUALITY is a guiding light,  a shared project.In America 2, EQUALITY is a rhetorical device used to negate the realities of inequality.
