And I reject both those views. I think it's complicated. As I said, I think it's possible to celebrate the founders and appreciate what they did, as well as look objectively and critically at how their values strayed very far from what they professed.
I think it's impossible to say that there were populists in rural America and the South and white America that really did believe in equality and justice for white folks and helped to make progress in giving more people opportunity and not ignore the fact that that was to the exclusion of others.

I reject that demo-commie ‘narrative’ for this Republic, too, you scum-sucking grifter, Obola. Crawl back unnder your rock in Kenya and take all your demo-commie buds along with you.

A freshman undergrad at U of Chicago would pick that apart in seconds, before turning around and validly accusing you and your ilk of doing just that.
A straw man constantly setting up straw man arguments.

The anti-American, racist divider just can’t seem to stay out of the news. what a narcissist dedicating his new concrete bunker.
He’s probably got a whole underground city underneath it and plans to use it to survive his next chink produced bioweapon.
Narcissist, muslim, gay, confused, commie type “president”.
Brought to you by the democrat party.
The party will bring us worse as time goes on.
Virus can penetrate the chinks of Ø’s bunker just like he penetrated in the bathhouse.
Or got penetrated...better ask Reggie.
We do and always have. You don't, you lying POS.
