Can you imagine?
And so I think, though, what's really important, though, is in 1926, this is something, Calvin Coolidge spoke at the exposition.
President Coolidge spoke.
And what President Coolidge did in that moment is that he talked about the founding
as not being reducible to the American Revolution.
He says, we only need one revolution.
That revolution gave voice to enduring principles, what he would say metaphysical principles that weren't reducible to the country.
And he says, we don't need another revolution.
All we need to do is to remember and restore.
So Calvin Coolidge is not interested in more perfect union talk.
In other words, our salvation was secured at the founding because of these principles.
MAGA gives that an evangelical twist.
These folk are not interested in the progress of the nation or more perfect union talk.
It's not about whether or not we are a multiracial democracy, whether or not we're treating black folk right, whether or not we're treating our minorities right.
No, they don't give a damn.
Only thing they want us to do
is to understand that we are already saved, that that's all we need to do is to remember, and to remember in a way that aligns the country's purpose with Donald Trump's ends and aims.
So all three versions of what you just laid out to my mind, Tim, are features of what might I call a storybook version of American democracy.
So the notion of freedom exists apart from history and America becomes its manifestation.
That's one version.
