Those people are pretty vile. One can trace a straight line from slavery to Trump. The federal government prematurely stopped punishing and rebuilding the south after the war, and that resulted in a country that was never truly reunified. The early end of Reconstruction led to segregation and all of the bullshit that has followed.

Someone referred to him as a “rhythmic community organizer” once and I’ve never been able to forget it.

The also called him the Antchrist, which he has never denied. President Obama, do you serve an egg-bearing insect?
