The immersion of Donald Trump as a political newcomer has assured us that our descent from normalcy and bipartisanship was not only swift but seemingly a thing of the past that once provided a path for equality and common ground. Though the tension of 2015 was not the cause of the elitist power grab and lack of tolerance for democratic differences that has sent our country into a civic upheaval, it was merely a symptom that had been festering for decades.

Capeheartâs new fandom derives from Trumpâs response to Kaepernickâs protest and due to Stephen Curryâs assertion, âWe have decided that weâll constructively use our trip to... </p> 232 <!-- <div class="textfade"></div>--> 233 </div> 234 235 <div class="row"> 236 <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-1"> 237 </div> 238 <div class="col-sm-6 col-xs-10"> 239 <p class="text-center"> 240 <a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#continueModal" class="visible-md visible-lg btn btn-warning"><strong>Continue reading this essay <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span></strong></a> 241 <a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#continueModal" class="visible-xs visible-sm btn btn-block btn-warning"><strong>Continue reading <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span></strong></a> 242 </p> 243 <p class="text-center"><strong>Page 1 of 3</strong></p> 244 </div> 245 <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-1"> 246 <div class="btn btn-default pull-right hidden-xs"><a href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#continueModal" style='text-decoration:none'>Next Page <i class='fa fa-angle-right'></i></a></div> </div> 247 </div> 248 </div> 249 </div> 250 251 <div class="modal fade" id="continueModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="continueModalLabel"> 252 <div class="modal-dialog modal-sm" role="document"> 253 <div class="modal-content"> 254 <div class="modal-header"> 255 <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> 256 <h4 class="modal-title" id="continueModalLabel">Read the full essay</h4> 257 </div> 258 <div class="modal-body text-center"> 259 <p>Sign in to continue reading <strong>The Constitution and the Dangers of Interpretation</strong>.</p> 260 <a href="https://www.megaessays.com/oauth_controller/google" class="button-google"><i class="fa fa-google"></i>Login with Google</a> 261 </div> 262 </div> 263 </div> 264 </div> 265 266
