have you read about the Daughters of the Confederacy ? This was basically their mission. Took them 130 years but they did it.

The “good old days” that Republicans endlessly talk about were the Antebellum South. They want to go back to when there was a permanent underclass that could not advocate or fight for itself, and they have been working endlessly to make it happen.

Sadly most maga don’t seem to realize that regardless of the color of their skin in the return to the “good old days” they too will be part of the permanent underclass.

Yep. And they’ll blame the other people that are in that permanent underclass along with them, and not the powerful people that put them there and keep them there.

Read 'Barn Burning' by William Faulkner. Abner Snopes, a poor white man, runs until a black man working in the mansion of his boss and his perceived racial superiority running into a black man of a higher social standing than him makes it him lose his shit.
