How fucked up is the USA?

61. These people were around before Fox existed

They're the people who enacted and enforced Jim Crow. They're the people who fought desegregation tooth and nail. They're people who beat up Civil Rights protesters and lynched black people. They're the people who burned crosses in people's yards and burned down or blew up the churches of black people. They're the same people who were okay with child labor and no rights for adult workers. They're the people who hated it when women got the right to vote and even more when they got the right to have a legal abortion. They're the people who fought tooth and nail for the "right" to enslave black people. They're the same people who enslaved and wiped out most of the Native Americans.

They have always been here. They simply have more means to make their hideous views known now than they ever have before.
