Sadly, this country has never had, in practice, equal rights for all citizens. We now have a political party that openly supports white supremacy and misogyny. That is why they love the original Constitution. That document was designed to support those goals. The other major party is too feckless to call them out for their anti democratic values. Between the 2 parties they have disillusioned millions of people about the value of voting and democracy at all. That dissolution is both domestic and international. Sadly, as a nation we have never believed that all lives matter. The 1st party that supports that human rights value will have my support and vote. Otherwise we are just voting for the lesser of 2 evils at best. Those evils are the soil that terrorists sprout from.
