2. No, I'm not. I asked you - twice - a fairly specific question that
had nothing to do with something you read and reported on in high
school.

You obviously don't understand that you aren't in charge here, and can't demand answers that you seek.


I asked, asshole, I didn't demand.

You asked me to create a case for something based on a theory I did
not agree with. I gave you the best case I could make for how the
exceptionalism created by the pioneering experience would affect the
advancement of black people and I gave it to you. Pioneers were less
likely to have prejudices against black people.
If I step back and look at Turner a century later, I see a different
thing. That pioneering spirit and independence that exists is still
concentrated outside the big cities in flyover country. The people in
the cities, like you, are reaching back to Europe for the model of how
you want the democracy to go on. You want an all powerful government,
more akin to a monarchy than a democracy.
Is Trump the outcome of that experience Turner says molded our
democracy?
