Rubio is unfit to stand in front of the Parthenon and speak one word. To think this war criminal was voted in by the US Senate unanimously makes me ill.
Because of Ole Orange's mastery of smoke and mirrors, far too many people perceived him as the virus when he is, at best, a byproduct or a symptom. At most, he is merely an opportunist who rode the rejuvenated wave of white supremacy to power and profit. Yet, he and the Neo-Confederates are only successful because most African Americans and liberal whites made the South, generally, and Mississippi, specifically, the face of American racism because it enabled them to label, hide, and foolishly think that it was contained from them. (Even today, they treat the Nolan Wells case as if it's unique to Mississippi, as they suffer from what James Baldwin called "selective naiveté," ignoring the fact that Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, and Amadou Diallo were all lynched outside Mississippi.) These two groups wouldn't dare think that their East Coast, Northern, Midwest, and West Coast neighbors are all card-carrying members of the Neo-Confederacy, even when election after election said so. White Nationalism wasn't reborn because it never died. It simply bided its time, growing stronger in the dark, like a cancer, because the vast majority of Americans refused to do the necessary routine examination of our nation's soul. Now, that we are at stage four, we'll see who's finally ready to do the work needed to cure this nation.

Sadly a bungler like Rubio still has hangers on
