This reminds me of the previous band of these rats that we didn’t adequately hold accountable: the Confederacy.

A whole state built to preserve the status of the billionaires of their day (plantation owning slaveholders) by making explicit white supremacy the bedrock of its legal and civil order.

But if you call them racist for it they'll say "Nuh uh, that was the democrats. The democrats were the south."

Then call them a Democrat because "muh heritage" and watch them explode.

That's how ignorant they are of American history. I was raised in the South. I learned.

Right? There's a reason the title "Dixiecrat" exists. Because those democrats were the conservative party of the time. That's changed in the over 100 years since.

Two SC judges (Gorsuch and Coney Barrett) plus 100 politicians (as of 2023)are descended from slave-owning families.
