    They think racist means “bad person”, and America’s founders, of course, can’t be bad people. Also it was more “complicated” back then because nobody knew right from wrong until like eighty years ago. 🙄

    This explains why they keep coming back to that menacing picture of Trotsky where they claim that he invented the word “Racist” as a way to shut down free speech. I couldn’t really articulate why that one in particular had so much staying power, but I think you solved it for me.
