One-hundred years later, it was the party that cast the votes for the Civil Rights movement and later for the rights of women to vote. It’s not the party that’s about to give it all back because of a few extremists claiming to be conservatives.
Some factual errors here. Women got the right to vote in all states via the 19th amendment, in 1920. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed in 1964. How does it follow that they voted “later” for the right of women to vote??
The Left is convinced that nationalism is the reason Trump won (America first; border wall; protect our jobs; protect our nation; make NATO pay; etc etc.)
The point of the statues coming down is all part of the attack on our national history and identity. Kneel for the National Anthem because America is evil and always has been. it was evil from its inception (say the Leftists) - racist, classist, murderous.
Though they started with Civil War figures, they’ve moved to Washington and Jefferson. The goal is to destroy any positive feelings we have for our American history and country.
That clears the way to open borders, globalism, one world government. The rulers will be elites - judges and post-democracy (democracy is unreliable and messy) forms of government where national borders are wiped out.
That’s the goal and the statue destroying is just one symptom.
There were many civil rights bills after the Civil War. Suffrage came after.
I agree if he’s referring to the 1964 bill, suffrage came well before that.
He’s not talking about the Civil Rights Act, he was talking about the civil rights movement which started at least as early as Benjamin Franklin.
The movement for black civil rights preceded that of women.
