America is an interesting lie.

The nation was founded as a republic, but…

Most citizens think they live in a democracy.

The nation is operated as if it were on oligarchy,

Thucydides would be fascinated.

I see a mediocracy, a mind-control construct dedicated to manipulating the behavior and complaisance of the demos who think they live in a democracy, which it manifestly is not.

This morning, at work, in Baltimore County, a few men whispered to me that they were going to vote, afraid, it was obvious that passersby might suspect them of voting for Trump. There is a great expectation of violence against whites should Trump win. My boss joked, “I was afraid that if I hung a ‘Make America Great’ sign up we’d get attacked!”

As I sat down to view the national election coverage, after reading two books on Colonial America, I noticed that the nation is clearly, severely, divided, with most of the land occupied by working people suspicious of government voting for the protest candidate, Trump, and most of the metropolitan centers, dominated by the rich and poor clearly favoring the system candidate. This struck me as an expanded mirror of Colonial America, in which, 300 years ago, the demographic map showed cities and surrounding suburbs populated by the rich and their slaves and the hinterlands—before they could be flown over—occupied by working people attempting to migrate as far away from the seats of power as possible.

From this perspective Trump is reminiscent of Nathaniel Bacon, who was an energetic leader of rural poor in 1676 Virginia, who rose against the slave masters of Jamestown and burned the capital of English-speaking America to the ground.

Another, more basic aspect of the American political map, is that the areas—as seen on the County map of the individual states—that produce food, goods and natural resources are in a state of protest against the system and that those supporting the system, like the slave masters and slaves of Colonial America, live in the large urban areas.

Of keen interest is how the pollsters and political pundits who track the careers of these grasping politicians find that the chronically unemployable and criminal portions of the populations are not the only highly reliable devotees to the system, but that college-educated whites are as easily predicted by the media and managed by the system as are the urban underclass. Equally pleasing is the fact that working, rural whites, not indoctrinated to abide by the wishes of the elite, have proved difficult for the professional opinion-molders and social trend-shepherds to manage and predict.

Whatever the political outcome of this election, the lesson of this election is that there are two Americas, and that one of these Americas is descended from the backwoodsmen, farmers, mountain men and cattlemen who fled the slave plantations, and there were no other kind of plantations, and Colonial America was called by its occupants and those bound there in chains nothing other than “the plantations.”

Here is to interesting times.
