Major conflicts often get focused on a particular battlefield. Like Gettysburg â in the American Civil War. Like Waterloo â where the battle that ended the Napoleonic Era was fought. In America in these times, the âwarâ is over whether America will remain a democracy â i.e. whether the American government â as founded to be of the people, for the people, by the people â will perish from this earth. (A recent poll indicates the 87% of Americans are either âvery worriedâ or âsomewhat worriedâ that the United States is becoming less of a democracy.) The Election of 2020 was one major showdown in that conflict, and the great American democracy dodged a bullet.
