      In 1963, the Dan Smoot Report identified this list of civil rights demands ("more equal than equal") as part of the Communist Party's long game to subvert America. You'll probably note that by Smoot's definition, we have achieved full Communism, at least in a de jure sense.pic.twitter.com/tTsqct0ojg

      These are stories Smoot juxtaposed to point out just how coddled black Americans supposedly were by the federal government while white people were the ones REALLY being persecuted in America. Just in case you thought Breitbart's "black crime" schtick was new.pic.twitter.com/M3u3P4MguN

          "Until these civil rights agitators came along, we white Southerners treated black people incredibly kindly. It's a shame that black people are forcing us to be violent now." Dan Smoot, 1963pic.twitter.com/Pdkxs1GjQu

          Anyway, Dan Smoot used to be a punchline amongst US historians for what a right wing buffoon he was. Now he looks like a founding father of the modern GOP.

          Dan Smoot had what we might call an unorthodox take on black history. Some might use more strongly negative adjectives to describe it, and they would not be wrong.pic.twitter.com/TkxsAV1Wp0

          Note the obligatory, conservative opening gambit, however. "Slavery was terrible, but....." There's always a "but." And what follows the but almost always entirely negates what came before it.

          Wouldn't be a conservative newsletter without a comment about how the "Democrat Party" is engaging in a "Communist program of racial agitation," while the RINO's in the GOP gamely play along.pic.twitter.com/TYVLQooVEq

          The idea that "black people are really the ones wielding the most power in America and the two parties are letting them get away with it" is a very old, and cherished myth on the American right.

          This thread helps explain why anyone with a basic understanding of the history of the American right finds contemporary conservative discourse about race to be so boring, derivative, and predictable.
