One of America's great racist Democrat villains, Alabama Governor George Wallace, was right!
In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.
A few will remember those words creating this historical irony, but his story is actually far more interesting for reasons almost no one remembers.
First, a Democrat up until then, when he ran for president a second time in 1968 on the American Independent Party ticket, Wallace said,
There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican parties.
Yes, that's right. For almost everyone here's who congratulates themselves on being such a hip conspiracy theorist who's on to the Uniparty, well, George was on to it probably before you were born.
But there's more. Wallace ran for President in 1972, and was shot during an assassination attempt (See what happens to people calling out the Uniparty?) While he was recovering in the hospital, he searched his soul and realized the error of his racist ways. He called some of the local leaders of the black community to his bedside, asked their forgiveness, and was granted it.
In 1974, he ran again for Governor of Alabama. He won with 83.2% of the vote, a crushing landslide. I don't have the reference to hand, but IIRC he won with a higher percentage of the black vote than Obama did in Alabama in 2008.
Make of all this what you will, but I would point out that if any of this is news to anyone, yes, of course They don't want you to know.
Reverse psychology, a shitty play says you’re not welcome so now you want to go.

Don't worry, I will.

I wonder what (((patrons))) will be funding this, to offset the lost revenue?
