to open his campaign in Philadelphia, MS - the site of the famous murder of 3 civil rights workers back in the early 1960s. Since he is completely ignorant of history, we can conclude that it was totally engineered by Stephen Miller.

Considering he was barely 16 years removed from the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner. Reagan wasn't just stirring up the past with that "states rights" speech, he was preaching to the racist choir directly!

Reagan did the "dog whistle" thing too....Trump doesn't have an original bone in his body!

From Wiki....

As part of his 1980 presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan made an appearance at the Neshoba County Fair where he gave a speech on August 3, 1980. Critics claim that Reagan's choice of location for the speech (the fairgrounds were about 7 miles from Philadelphia, Mississippi, a town associated with the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner in 1964) was evidence of racial bias.

.... was no accident because that area is the home of the Klan in OH and many of the
white nationalists/skinheads/neo nazis who got arrested after their violence in Charlottes-
ville, VA were from that area and or had connections to that area. Trump and Steven
Miller see racist thugs as a key to staying in power.

trying to hide it anymore, but rather rallying the Confederacy. How many armed followers will commit murder and treason to "save" him is the biq question in my mind.

Stephen Miller pulling the strings.

You don't really think Trump had any knowledge of Juneteenth Day or the 1921 massacre.
