Former Republican whose eyes were opened by Trump. I know what MAGA really is. If I am the Democrats, I run on ONE issue: Universal Health Care. They will win.
@RepNancyMace This might be the single dumbest thing I’ve ever read in my life. And that’s saying something considering you have said some really dumb things over the years.
I’ll tell you one thing that seems little but I will be so glad to see go away some day. The juvenile nicknames is just so ridiculous and shows us to be a completely unserious country.
Juneteenth is fuckin stupid.
**Facts:**
- Jan 1, 1863: Lincoln (white Republican) issues the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in rebel states.
- April 1865: Civil War ends. Confederacy crushed.
- June 19, 1865: In remote Texas, Union General Granger finally tells the last ~250k Confederate slaves they’re free — **over 2 years and 5 months** after the Proclamation.
- Dec 6, 1865: 13th Amendment ratified, **constitutionally abolishing slavery nationwide**. Passed and signed by white legislators and a white president.
So this “holiday” celebrates the day slow-ass mail and Texas holdouts finally got the memo that white Union soldiers had already won the war and secured their freedom at the cost of ~360,000 Union dead.
Made a federal holiday in 2021 for obvious political reasons.
The men who actually ended chattel slavery in America — through blood, war, and law — were overwhelmingly white Americans.
But sure, let’s pretend it was something else.
Absolute clown shit.
@Dilectus_Dei@JonahDispatch@TheEconomist You and your ilk have done more to destroy this country than you will ever realize. We are a joke now in the eyes of the rest of the world. And you are too thick to see it because you’re too busy glazing your orange god-king.
@Dilectus_Dei@JonahDispatch@TheEconomist With the amazing love seen right now with the world here in the US for the WC, it is people like you decrying “foreigners” that is exactly what is wrong with America. Go fuck yourself
