This response to @WellsKathleen and her questioning of the Southern strategy is the best burn I've seen in a while. The equivalent idiocy would be someone telling me that cancer or, even more amusingly, breast cancer is "not my lane." Kevin shows how to respond to Dunning-Kruger.https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1115661430399877125 …

Even more hilarious is
@WellsKathleen's response when someone says something along the lines of "Acclaimed historian vs. talk radio host, whom should I believe?" I mean, seriously. Can ignorance be this arrogant?

It's unfortunate that historians increasingly have to put up with the same crap we've had to put up with in since and medicine with antivaxers, quacks, climate science deniers, etc. Back in the day my main issue was Holocaust denial, but there's now so much more pseudohistory.

I'll have to keep that for the next time I refer to "black hole density ignorance."
