Damn! Trump and today’s oligarchy class are drawing from a playbook straight out of the Civil War.
The wealthy plantation class manipulated working-class white people into siding with the Confederacy by exploiting racism and fear—even though slavery primarily benefited the rich.

Sound familiar, America?
The slavers played the long game.
It’s very easy to predict their moves by knowing history. It’s also very easy to predict the final outcomes.
I moved to Tx from the north 20 yrs ago and can say first hand, they’re still pissed they have to pay black/brown people to work
Not a fan of the word, “evil”, but it’s all that fits

Same shit, different century, except they went full mask off and said "If you're not a fake christian rich white guy you're ALL fucking slaves with no rights."
fuck these people
📌 They pushed the narrative that freeing slaves would destroy the economy.
📌 They reframed the conflict as a noble fight for states’ rights.
(2 of 4)
📌 They played on ideas of masculinity and honor, pressuring white men to fight for their “way of life.”
📌 They spread propaganda glorifying the Confederacy and vilifying the Union as oppressive invaders.

Yet we now building walls to Keep everyone out. So much for the melting pot.
The only immigrants allowed will be bought wives for ultra wealthy incels and senators and congressmen.
No more Congress women.
No more women VP
Facts
“If you uplift black people, you’re drownin’ white people [like] a crab in a barrel mentality,”
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
Jefferson (elite) a wealthy land/slave/plantation owner; a trust fund child inheriting unimaginable wealth.
His greed & insistence that wealth be retained among the elite, was so self-serving, he opposed a single currency.
Can you imagine?
In fact, Jefferson accused Hamilton of what he in fact represented.
This quote is new to me. It’s 🔥!

Do we think anyone besides the Democrats would be kicking themselves tonight?
Controlled by the plantation owners and drafted everyone who was not in the privileged class or an overseer.
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

The North won!
The people from the Civil War didn't know as much as the educated races are now.
Money doesn't win , Ever!
We will fight no matter what the challenges are but one thing is a fact , we have to finally learn the lessons that are coming.

Now, we’re going to reap the consequences of that mistake and will likely be fighting again shortly.

It works
Nixon used it to win in 1968
Apparently, there are enough morons around now. It's going to be a long century.
After election: “Useless Idiots”
Except for Elon, is out of the apartheid playbook. His family were wealthy transplants that pulled the same scam on the redneck boers. Even more recent in history.
The truth will set us free as a society and a species.
t®️umps truth will set your soul and your future on fire ASAP. And not in a good way. Why anyone joins his KKKult is a mystery to me.

Now illegal immigrants are the "other" despite underpinning the entire labour market...
There is truly nothing new under the Sun.
BTW not all sided with the Confederacy. Anti-Confederate militias were holding territory.
They’ve been doing this since 1954 with Brown v BoE. Systematically infecting American society with Christianity as a cover for their ignorant racism
But we will NOT GO BACK!
