President Donald Trump has taken an extraordinary step in his efforts to turn his birthday into a national celebration, with the National Park Service revealing that on June 14, his birthday, admission to national parks will be free for U.S. citizens.
In addition, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth have been removed from the schedule of free park admission days, despite both being federally recognized holidays.
I find it simply hilarious that, even still, now that their mask has been completely removed, you still have conservatives and Republicans trying that age-old chestnut about how it is really the Democrats that are the racists, because Lincoln was a Republican, and because of the Dixiecrats. And trying to yadda yadda something about Robert Byrd, etc.
All while they go apoplectic about “woke”, DEI, CRT and “political correctness”, etc…
Of course, entirely ignoring everything that had happened in more recent times, like the Southern Strategy, and the Civil Rights movement, etc…there was some Republican idiot on the DP comment section that even kept rejecting the Southern Strategy as fake news for some contrived reason that only made sense in his head.
It was always so goddamned pathetic, just like their attempt to tie socialism to Nazis merely because of the label, even if it’s easy to point out the fact that the Nazis targeted unions, Communists and socialists.
But the fact that they are still trying this nonsense is beyond pathetic.
And yet we still have “centrists” who somehow can’t tell the difference.
People who just have it comfortably, who do not dare rock the boat.
They try this nonsense because it’s works and the general public is insanely stupid.
There are people on the fediverse still spouting the same tune, that the DNC are the true evil racists, though mostly Tankies trying to curry favor with the african americans and reignite the millitant spirit of the black panther party. The same people would fervently deny any racism in China.
Uyghurs? What Uyghurs? /s /s /s
I’m sure you’d find thousands of comments along those lines on r/conservative right now. I wonder how long until they actually try to “take back” the word fascist. Because you’re right. In many ways the mask is all the way off.
