They Never Really Went Away

One of the things---and there are many---that's most maddening about our political discourse is the historical amnesia so many people, especially in our media, seem to suffer from. Every time some Astroturf sugar daddy coughs up a billion dollars to kick-start a new improved Legion of Angry White People, they're treated as if they're symptomatic of some contemporary populist phenomenon and not as the same old racist grifting operation they've always been. It's been this way for my entire lifetime, and at this late date, it's amazing so many people are still unable to connect the dots.
