They've been there from the beginning when they were called Royalists or Loyalists, they rebelled against President Washington, they started the Civil War, they invented the Klan, they invented the Red Scare, they delayed our entrance into WWII and on and on. They'll always be there. We just have to deny them power over the majority, you know, "We, the People."
