Matthew Dowd: The Civil War Was Also About the ‘Oligarchy’ Convincing the Working Class that the ‘Cultural Elites’ Are the Enemies

RUSH EXCERPT:

DOWD: “Well, as you know, joy, we had a conversation about 10 days ago and you asked me who the winners of the week were, and I said, the oligarchs 10 months ago. And I think they continue to win each week because of the proximity to power, as Mr. Thurston was illuminating. I mean, I think you’ve just paused for a little history lesson here. I mean, we’ve struggled with this kind of thing for since human civilization of powerful people with the resources trying to get more power and lord it over the others, no matter the system of government. I mean, aristotle was the one that first coined the term oligarchy in the fourth century bc, and we’ve had this struggle throughout American history. I mean, people forget that the civil war was about many things.”
