The Altar of Nostalgic Reactionism
Today, the Trump Administration, through the Justice Department led by racially sensitive Attorney General Jeff Sessions, decided not to follow the Obama Justice Department's example in arguing against the State of Texas strict voting id laws. It seems that on the issues of race, discrimination, and immigration, this Administration wants to make America great again by going back to the pre-civil rights days when states rights ruled, voting obstacles prevailed in southern regions, and immigration quotas endeavored to maintain a white dominant society. These are the acts of a desperate group grasping for one last day in the sun on the altar of nostalgic reactionism
