“ When you say it's gone into “trolling” mode today, I take it you mean things like Dinesh D'Souza pointing out that it was actually the Democrats in the 19th century who defended slavery and Republicans who attacked it.”

Oh look, more Democrats trying to downplay the Democratic Party’s primary role in slavery and racial terrorism during a time(now) when the Democratic Party is using the history of slavery and racism to gaslight the American public into accepting its politics. How about you mention the obvious “trolling” of the Democratic Party’s official claim on their website that they have been fighting for civil rights for 200 years?

I suggest people read my nuanced examination of the Democratic Party and its loyalist’s current grotesque manipulation of history. This discussion with Mounk is just one more example of it.

I voted for Democrats most my life, and canvassed for months for Obama. I have not voted Republican for a presidential election once. I recently voted for Kevin Paffrath for Governor to replace Newsom. Any Democrat who wants to be “anti racist” today needs to stop downplaying the Democratic Party’s past connection to slavery and racial terrorism. The Democratic Party needs to redeem itself moreso than “America” does with regard to slavery and racism. Acting like the last “20 to 40 years” is the most important time when the Democratic Party constantly, ad nauseum, invokes the history of racism in this country — - and the past 20 to 40 years have been the greatest period of opportunity for “black” people, including myself, in the history of the world in the US and other economically flourishing countries, is absurd political sectarianism.
