The battle lines are drawn, and it looks eerily familiar to 1861. As President Trump executes his mandate to secure America's borders through mass deportations, blue states like Minnesota are engaging in what can only be described as modern-day Confederate rebellion against federal authority.
Just as the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter to challenge Lincoln's presidency, today's Democrat governors are mobilizing state resources to obstruct basic federal functions. The parallel isn't lost on patriots watching this unfold in real time.
Conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson's latest analysis draws the stunning comparison, noting how Trump faces the same hatred from the Left that Lincoln endured from Confederate rebels. Social media is buzzing with Americans recognizing the historical parallel.
"VDH with an awesome article about how the current insurrection by Minnesota Democrats is looking like Fort Sumter in 1861, and how the Dems hate Trump in the same way that the Confederates hated Lincoln. A must read," tweeted @ericjtomaskovic.
The constitutional crisis is undeniable. These blue states claim they can nullify federal immigration law while simultaneously demanding federal tax dollars and protection. It's the ultimate hypocritical power grab – anarchy when it suits them, total compliance demanded from red states.
Another Twitter user captured the legal reality perfectly: "Lincoln, who was hated by Confederates as Trump is by the Left, had consensus the Constitution had no clause about lawful departure from the Union. It operates a clear supremacy clause making states obstructing federal law and occupying of federal property veritable sedition."
The question facing Trump is the same one Lincoln confronted: Will he negotiate with rebels or enforce federal supremacy? Patriots are calling for decisive action.
"INSURRECTION ACT. Bring down the full weight of the Federal Government. This is April 12th, 1861 & Ft. Sumter all over again. Lincoln refused to bow down to the Confederates. Trump should do the same with these insurrectionists," demanded @RichiePaszt.
We're witnessing a one-way national divorce where Democrat states pick and choose which federal laws to follow while demanding red states submit to every bureaucratic whim. Lincoln didn't tolerate Confederate rebellion. Will Trump show the same resolve against today's blue-state insurrectionists?
