I am glad more and more right wingers, even if still fringe, are finally starting to understand (if still very poorly) that MLK would have despised them and everything they stood for. Then they drop the mask and start talking like 60s Dixiecrats, loud enough for others to hear.

I, for one, encourage them to continue to “smear” one of the most beloved (if whitewashed) figures in America as a commie, which although isn’t accurate is far closer to what he actually was. It might help people get a clue and read more into the Civil Rights Movement’s history. Part of what helped me in my ideological development was learning how the US’s social advances came in spite of the “liberal democratic” system, and socialists/communists were fighting for these causes before it became fashionable for liberals to do the same.
