the worst thing about twitter is that it encourages the most confrontational sort of interactions. there is a valid critique to be made of the song ignoring colonialism. but within the context of guthrie's career it seems like a bad faith interpretation to say that's the intent of the song rather than a probably unforeseen implication. it was written in the context of millions of people being displaced from the great plains and mass consolidation of farmland, so even for white people the myth of all that free land was pretty thoroughly killed at that point, as a bunch of the settler families were now just poor migrant workers.

if guthrie was alive today, or even still around for AIM's activities at Wounded Knee or Alcatraz, he'd probably add in something about the theft of the land originally.

the pro-slavery part is bullshit tho

there's also just a bunch of Extremely Online nutjobs so nonracist they demand ethnostates with strictly enforced race-appropriate culture and miscegenation laws, who will elaborate on this to suit any character limit you prefer

It's good propaganda but I have no idea what they think a return to the Good GOP would look like. Same corruption but the racism gets quieter again?

the trump GOP is more popular with republican voters than the pre-trump one ever was. trumpism is the future of the gop for the next few generations at least. even with the boomers dying off young republicans range from red hats to nazi /pol/ pepes and ultimately they're the future of the party

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

They'll probably quiet down just enough that its a bit easier to pretend they're not racist but thats mostly a function of Trumps brain leaking out his ears

reactionary ideology is all about hearkening back to the hazy mythic golden age of purity and values where everyone was happy back before new things ruined everything, it's not like applying it to When The GOP Was Good makes any less sense than Making America Great Again

What would be the point when they can get everything they want by being openly racist? They get to do what they actually want to do and if anyone seems like they might object they can just just holler "I'm so OFFENDED you would call me a RACIST!" until the liberals dogpile the upstart for the sake of decorum.

the only reason why trump isn't worse imo. my money's on "he's an easily distracted bitch and won't do it" but you never know

they were actively thinking of making this the national anthem at one point, but its communist sympathies doomed it. so that's why a drinking song is our national anthem instead

america the beautiful was a close to tolerable option but then again:

whose stern impassioned press
a thoroughfare for freedom beat

ronald reagan was when the republicans were good because he went on tv and sounded nice. sure if you listen to his actual words he was saying he was going to purge the brown menace but he said it like it was a good thing

The NOT TRUMP republicans are anti-Trump because it impacts their ability to go to high society parties and not get mocked (see: the 30 or so articles NYT has published about Alan Dershowitz feeling left out at Martha's Vineyard). This is a sort of material interest, but it also only applies to like five rich failsons who work for major newspapers, so that's why Trump has the highest in-party approval rating ever while you keep hearing about Republicans who dislike him. None of them matter but they all have megaphones.

I thought this until the last month or so. Now i think that'll only happen if Trpmu has a mcstroke in the next year or two. Current course looks more like GOP going open white supremacy until they collapse into a rump party, collapse the government, or climate apocalypse.

another option is that the system-rigging continues apace and the republicans continue to rule the country despite receiving smaller and smaller shares of public support, and the dems refuse to question their legitimacy because that might destabilize the system

Even pre-Trump you could easily be fully fash as a Democrat and not even raise any eyebrows so long as you weren't too vocal about AR15s, banning abortions, or the only real racism being how anyone's allowed to get mad at you for dropping hard Rs, so if someone keeps acting like their Republican party affiliation is non-negotiable it's pretty clear exactly where they stand
