At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.
Anywhoo here’s an article about it and Il make a follow up post https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2022/03/23/how-indiana-reacted-mike-brauns-comments-interracial-marriage/7138541001/
If Republicans win too many election, everything up to and including the second coming of slavery is on the table. That is not hyperbole.
We already have slavery. It was never truly banned, just added the need to have been convicted of a crime. Ever wonder why the US has the world’s largest prisoner population (not just per capita) and why African Americans are disproportionately brought to trial and receive more severe sentences (especially in former CSA states)? Slavery is the reason.
Overt Slavery was replaced with Jim Crow, which was replaced with great difficulty with a combination of encouraged undocumented immigration exploited labor, where they get punished for doing it but the employer never gets punished for leveraging it, combined with an expansion of the prison population to the largest coerced labor pool on Earth, and not just per capita, because we’ve made prisoners profitable.
America was built by and runs on the backs of a designated underclass by design. We have never been without a massive, policy defined underclass.
Shining city on the hill my ass. We have never not been a garbage society that revels in its own avarice and entitlement.
This person gets it.
