The GOP claims that it is upholding the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
That is revisionist history writ large. The "southern strategy" of the GOP was all about co-opting the white southern bigots. From the fact that outright sheet-wearing racists such as Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond jumped to the GOP when President Johnson signed the 1960s civil rights acts, to the praise for segregationists given by Trent Lott, the "states' rights" arguments of the GOP, and the persistent and unrelenting moves by the GOP to eliminate any and all programs that benefit poor people, the GOP has consistently embraced the very same people who were cheering at the assassination of Dr. King.
Does anyone not believe that Dr. King would have been in favor of childhood nutrition programs, improving public education, paying a decent wage to all workers and making health care available to all Americans?
By claiming to uphold the legacy of Dr. King, the GOP is urinating on his grave and claiming that they are only watering the shrubbery.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I almost lost my lunch when I read the comments from Palin and Steele. What a nerve.
ReplyDeleteThe fact they get by with it is the worst and why we're so screwed.
ReplyDeleteThis is what Suzan's post at Pottersville was about today but much more than that too. I'm going to say it more because it's true. We have lost this battle and one indicator of that is when on a daily basis you have untruths stated as fact and people believe it and polls show that people believe the falsehoods you're just downright screwed. Nothing changing and it's getting worse at least from my view.
It's more like they are trying to uphold it with a noose.
ReplyDeleteRuckus, that's cold! (Funny, too)
