"There is an alternative view, one long available and
articulated, that America is not an idea but an ethnicity, that
of the white Christian men who have dominated it, granting a
grudging or probationary acceptance to women, or blacks, or
immigrants. This was the view of Huck Finn's pap, as he drank
himself to death; of General Custer, as he approached Little Big
Horn; of Major General Pickett, as he led the charge at
Gettysburg. Until now, it has been the vision of those whom Trump
would call the losers." -- ibid.
