    See, they didn’t even play their shitty little game correctly. You don’t say the Democrats were the party of the Confederacy. You say the Democrats were the party of slavery. And then you ignore the connection between the Confederacy and Slavery. Then hope no one brings up the Southern Strategy and the obvious realignment.

    Obviously it falls apart if you think about it for even a second, but it’s not designed to convince anyone. It’s designed to sound good to people who won’t think about it for even a second, and annoy the people who would.

      I’ve been saying for years that it all not making a lick of sense is the point. It’s a dog whistle for those on board, and an open insult to everyone else.
