Subject: Re: Another Win For President Trump

Dope's dredges up quotes by long gone Democrats as a 'what about', as if they make the current white xtian nationalism/ right-wing racism less concerning.

RBG didn't have a racist bone in her body. The right wing uses her quote dishonestly, out of context. Typical right wing misinformation.

The famous quote attributed to LBJ must be considered in the totality of his political/social goals. Right wingers use unconfirmed 'quotes' like that as 'what abouts" to make their current racists seem less deplorable.

LBJ was a Texan who had to cultivate a "good old boy" image to get anywhere in Texas elections; a politician who knew his political existence depended on walking a fine line between the racist Texas/South, and northern liberals in the Civil Rights era.
