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.
