But earlier episodes featured profound ideological and moral questions \u2014 easily visible to the naked eye, in the present and to historians afterward \u2014 that lay at the heart of the matter.
\nThe real Civil War was about slavery \u2014 at the start, to restrict its territorial expansion, by war\u2019s end to eliminate it entirely. Capitalists opposed to the New Deal knew why they loathed FDR \u2014 he was fundamentally shifting the balance of power between public and private sectors \u2014 and FDR knew, too: \u201cThey are unanimous in their hate for me, and I welcome their hatred.\u201d The unrest of the 1960s was about ending segregation and stopping the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n
Only in recent years have we seen foundation-shaking political conflict \u2014 both sides believing the other would turn the United States into something unrecognizable \u2014 with no obvious and easily summarized root cause. What is the fundamental question that hangs in the balance between the people who hate Trump and what he stands for and the people who love Trump and hate those who hate him? This is less an ideological conflict than a psychological one.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[1395,221,1237,772,757,509],"class_list":["post-7101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article-share","tag-civil-war","tag-donald-trump","tag-hate","tag-ideology","tag-issues","tag-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7102,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7101\/revisions\/7102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
