I think the arguments from both sides here miss the point The movement was unpopular, the act was popular, but the implementation of said act was so massively unpopular that the next time a non-southern Democrat wins the president is 2008
The Civil Rights Act had a 59% approval rating. I know it's fun to pretend that the correct stance was always unpopular so you can pretend your enemies will be the bad guys of future period pieces but the majority of the country was actually convinced on this.

BOLSONARO’S ON THE RUN he escaped to argentina on foot and tried to flee to the u.s. in a private plane. like all enemies of the people, he will end up in the lulag
🚨 #ALERTA | Medios argentinos señalan que el avión privado en el que Flávio Bolsonaro habría intentado viajar a Estados Unidos permanece en la pista de Puerto Iguazú y no pudo despegar a las 2 de la madrugada. Por el momento, se desconoce el paradero del senador brasileño.

it is beyond ridiculous that mississippi democrats put up incredible levels of political talent and are completely locked out of ever winning anything because mississippi whites are still upset about losing segregation

if you are like me, a black trans woman, what are you even supposed to do when so many other black people understand nothing about transness at all
yes you can. you were not born with a binder carabiner and cuffed jeans you can take that shit off. you cannot be phenotypically queer. theres no amount of dressing or undressing that would change how black i look i dont understand what you dont understand.

this is one of my least favourite braindead talking points that centrists on here have latched onto. being trans isn’t the same calculus as black people made working with LBJ because he was passing civil rights bills and turek wants to take away the healthcare we already have
LBJ worked with avowed racists and was slinging slurs every day and he passed the Civil & Voting Rights acts. Sometimes, you gotta talk a little differently than you’ll act.

turek is not every democrat, which it is WHY it is so important to form an impassable wall against his idea to restrict trans healthcare so that he does not BECOME every democrat. there’s room to debate how feasible the pace of progress can be. there isn’t to go backwards.

the great lie online centrists have managed to whip themselves up about is that trans people are demanding maximal policy changes and this is going to kill democrats everywhere instead of the far bleaker reality, that we are begging them to hold the line on what already exists

a really annoying thing about matt yglesias is that he has zero historical knowledge, so he pretends that this is a new development instead of one that’s literally as old as modern democracy itself. read a book!
Earnest take: I think it’s probably not healthy for the practice of democratic self-government that so many people have developed strong rooting interests in elections in countries they don’t live in.

now that lula’s pulled off the greatest comeback in brazilian history, can he stop bolsonaro and his thugs from overturning the election and save the country one more time
🇧🇷 Candidato derrotado, Flávio Bolsonaro critica ministro Cristiano Zanin, que determinou a extensão do prazo de votação, não reconhece resultado e pede a anulação do segundo turno. “Não vou aceitar que a regra do jogo tenha sido mudada em cima do jogo pelos amigos do Lula no STF”, afirmou.

what a fucking titan. only person to ever come back to win the second round in brazil. the power of locking the fuck in
O ElectoMaps pode, a essa altura, projetar Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) REELEITO presidente do Brasil. Lula irá ocupar pela quarta vez a cadeira presidencial. É a primeira vez que ocorre uma virada numa eleição presidencial brasileira desde que existem dois turnos.
