Ah, yes, his MeToo pearl-clutching.

Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico as part of the deal, of course.

We should have hanged more traitors and Reconstruction should have been a project to liberate people and burn the moral rot from the south. Instead we just quieted down the noisy neighbors and left them to their business, and that has paid dividends for hatefulness every day since.

Oh hell yeah.

I'm not saying any of this exculpates the white South. If more of our people were curious beyond the end of their noses, we could see the veil that's been laid before our eyes.

Reconstruction didn't go far enough.

We left the money, the power, and the narrative in the hands of the worst people in American history and allowed them to rule over an impoverished, undereducated population, half of whom they considered subhuman. We literally bred contempt for our own...

Paul Rudd made a very compelling case for this mindset in 'Role Models'. 🤣

Yet another day of cowboy hats being disrespected by the dipshits wearing them.
