Don Bergman of Holland argues that Americans diverge on the nation’s core vision. He contends some seek a multiracial democratic republic while others pursue a white Christian state. He links flawed founding practices to racism and notes ongoing efforts to curb minority voting, CRT as a call to equality, and warns against fascist tendencies linked to Republican politics.
