After a violent far-right insurrection of the nation’s Capitol, many former Trump affiliates are finally saying “enough.” How brave! But before you make yourself ill trying to tweet a thank you to Mitch McConnell, remember, these people are NOT heroes!

I’m happy to see our tax money being used to publish fascist propaganda. By the way, if you want to read this steaming pile of horseshit, you can find it on the White House Website.

1776 Commission Takes Historic and Scholarly Step to Restore Understanding of the Greatness of the American Founding

Here’s a nice piece of slavery apologetics just in time for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday (page 10)

Slavery

The most common charge levelled against the founders, and hence against our country itself, is that they were hypocrites who didn’t believe in their stated principles, and therefore the country they built rests on a lie. This charge is untrue, and has done enormous damage, especially in recent years, with a devastating effect on our civic unity and social fabric. Many Americans labor under the illusion that slavery was somehow a uniquely American evil. It is essential to insist at the outset that the institution be seen in a much broader perspective. It is very hard for people brought up in the comforts of modern America, in a time in which the idea that all human beings have inviolable rights and inherent dignity is almost taken for granted, to imagine the cruelties and enormities that were endemic in earlier times. But the unfortunate fact is that the institution of slavery has been more the rule than the exception throughout human history.

He incited violence against protesters, he refused to wear a mask, he lied about nonexistent “voter fraud,” and he did it all right in front of everyone.

On Fifth Avenue.

re: #14 jaunte

As usual with most Republican projects relating even remotely to the subject of “Civics”, the “1776 Report” seems to have designed expressly for the main (probably the sole) purpose of having any and all criticisms of its aims or content deflected by the single riposte of “Why do you hate America?”

Nice to see Melania’s big change:

It once was, “I really don’t care, do you?”

Now it’s, “Choose love.”

Agree about the “reactionary” part, but SRSLY: even more “cooking” wouldn’t make this hash of slavery-apologetic whitewash and right-wing jingo any more palatable.

For Republicans, civic education boils down solely to feelgood propaganda myths furthering a white supremacist worldview in which conservative orthodoxy is never questioned or challenged.
