I can’t wait for Republicans to claim they aren’t racist in the future.
They’ve been claiming that forever, even after gleefully voting for PEDOnald. They’ll sit there and tell you the Southern Strategy was not a thing, and that the real racists are Democrats because of the Dixiecrats.
Try getting any of them to explain how Southern Strategy isn’t real is wild. Same for getting them to talk about what happened since the Dixiecrats…LOL.
Oh, they love to talk about Robert Byrd, too, FFS.
For a really fun time, get them to explain that the Civil War was about states rights and not slavery and then have them read the articles of confederacy. Mind blown.
The case, which could redefine who is considered an American, centers on the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
The Trump administration argues the 14th Amendment does not apply to people in the country illegally or on temporary visas. If the high court agrees, and reverses the long-held interpretation, it could render hundreds of thousands of children born to immigrant parents stateless.
Aha, so white supremacist officials are citing white supremacists’ white supremacist views in order to justify their white supremacist views and policy proposals. Thanks, scholars, for meticulously uncovering the subtle link between white supremacists and white supremacists.
