In a post to Facebook on Sunday, Martha Huckabay -- a former delegate for Donald Trump -- lashed out at a CNN segment which criticized Louisiana state Rep. Ray Garofalo (R-LA), who said that children should learn "about everything dealing with slavery, the good, the bad, the ugly."

Huckabay took issue with GOP state Rep. Stephanie Hilferty after she criticized Garofalo.

"You are right Stephanie Hilferty 'none of us were around when slavery occurred,'" Huckabay wrote. "Slavery goes all they way back to biblical times, and if you've read your Bible, you would know that many of the slaves loved their masters, and their masters loved them, and took very good care of them, and their families."

She continued: "The question he should have pushed back her way was was their [sic] marriages in slavery? Were families and precious babies born (and I am talking about LIFE itself) into or out of slavery? Were slave owners ever known to be 'GOOD' to their slaves? Were slaves ever known to LOVE their masters?"

Huckabay went on to suggest "that some slaves never wanted to leave their plantation because it had become their home."

The GOP has been taken over by the white supremacy underbelly. They are at the point where they are happy to say the quiet horror out loud. I am sure that the women raped by slave owners, and the children born as a result and treated like stock to be bought and sold at will would be delighted to know that in the 21st Century privileged right wing racists Karens think they should have been thankful for their slave status.



How they think that this will resonate with the average American is beyond me? The GOP have gone beyond the pale - and every single one of them needs to own how they allowed this white ethno nationalist, supremacist nazi nasty has been allowed to take hold. How they get back to normal right wing shittiness is going to be hard - pre supposing they want to take the party back from the cult.
Maybe they don't, maybe they are very happy with the fascists taking over? Slavery is a good thing in this GOP... confederacy 101 in 2021.
