    This @AliVelshi int w @nhannahjones about the Right's backlash, rather than embrace, of the 1619 Project- something the Party of Reagan would have no doubt embraced-is great macro-evidence of the party's radicalization problem. Which is itself centered around RACE

        The Party of Reagan would have embraced the 1619 Project? Now there's some whitewashing.
