Congress just passed a bill establishing “Juneteenth Independence Day” as a Federal holiday with near-unanimous support. Only 14 Republicans opposed the bill and most of their objections were based on the name of the bill or the cost. One Republican objected to the idea of Critical Race Theory being the basis of America’s “prevailing ideology”, but none defended the country’s ethnic white majority from this dehumanizing attack on America’s origin story.
And this speaks to the broader reason that most Congressional Republicans are ineffective. They horizontally enforce the dehumanization and disenfranchisement of their constituents by refusing to explicitly stick up for them. Instead of calling out anti-white extremism for what it is, they couch their objections to it in fiscal and nominal concerns.
What does this euphemizing and beating around the bush get them?
Nothing. Even their apologies and capitulations are taken as evidence that they are guilty of white supremacy.
I’d like to discuss this in further detail.
