going to have? We had a literal failed revolution by a fascist and they are running for president again and are looking to have great odds for winning...

it's neither the first nor the most successful counterrevolution in this country's history. I suggest reading "The Counterrevolution of 1776".

yeah, reconstruction and it's liberalization were a doozy

But at least after the Civil War we went look if you were in charge of the confederacy maybe you don't get to hold a seat in government, so we had that going for us I suppose.

ehh they walked that back too with the end of the radical reconstruction and the institution of Jim Crow

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah. The campaign of terror and guerilla warfare that ended reconstruction was really dark.

There is a genocidal fascist as president right now.

We had a literal failed revolution by a fascist

why did it fail?

[-] kusuriya@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

because the goon's that were rallied to do it didn't seem up to the task I suppose.
