Most of the major problems with American society today, from poverty and unemployment to crime, declining standards of living, and more, are caused by the politicization of society that has been relentlessly ongoing for generations and which is celebrated and deified by leftists like Steven Spielberg and Doris Kearns-Goodwin. They keep dragging out the rotted stench of Lincoln's corpse disguised by professional actors, makeup artists, and cinematography to keep the booboisie dumb and happy and uneducated about their own history.
