@paninid A screenshot of a social media post by The New Republic, including a text post, a photograph, and an article header. The post, timestamped 43m, reads: "To attribute “socialism” to the Nazis in this fashion is the hallmark of the uninformed and the mendacious. https://trib.al/myrPsAP Surely Thomas must have wondered why so many neo-Nazis and fascists now support Donald Trump and not the Democratic Party if they are actually socialists in nature. That would require a level of historical analysis, however, that Thomas seems uninterested in attempting. His speech is 50-ish 50-ish minute exercise in leveling the complexity and nuance of our nation’ nation’s history in favor of attacking one’s perceived enemies. Thomas approvingly quoted James Madison, an unabashed slaveowner who opposed the expansion of the franchise even to unlanded white men, even while citing Wilson’s segregationist policies as a stain on progressivism as a whole. Blame for nation’s historical sins only flows in one direction for Thomas." Thomas." The middle of the image features a photograph of a person wearing glasses and black robes against a blurred background. The bottom of the image contains the "TNR" logo, the headline "Clarence Thomas Can’t Get American History Right," and the byline "by Matt Ford."
