re: #46 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸

some goopers have even been promoting the meme that the civil rights act and the voting rights act were originated and passed by republicans, who then “forced a reluctant lbj” to sign them

And plenty of large-l Libertarians think the Civil Rights Act is “excessive government overreach” because the so-called free market will punish bad actors.

That position is wildly ahistorical, since the majority of Jim Crow in business was not by statute, but by custom.
