Ayanna Pressley Just Compared Trump and His Supporters to This. Is She Serious?

History is not the Democrat Party's strong suit. If it were, they'd be less inclined to embrace the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), because they'd know socialism always fails. And if they knew history, they wouldn't say stuff like this.

But they don't know history, which is why Rep. Ayanna Pressley can equate President Trump and his supporters to the Confederacy during an event for Ed Markey.

"It is bigger than Trump," Pressley said. "Because whenever we do the work of ousting the occupant of the Oval Office, the Confederacy is still alive and well. That's all my thing. White supremacy is still alive and well. Anti-blackness will still be alive and well. Xenophobia, anti-LGBTQ."

But if they knew history, they'd know the Democrats were the ones who wanted to keep slavery. They still do, which is why they argue for unfettered illegal immigration. That way, they can pay immigrants slave wages to pick our crops and clean our toilets. They've said it out loud, repeatedly.

The Confederacy was all Democrats. In fact, in all of American history, once you get beyond the fringes, the racist groups have ALWAYS been Democrats.

Always. Now they disguise their racism as wokeness.

Wrong political party https://t.co/eO5HPGnk4w

Yep. That was all the Democrats.

When leftists want to insult conservatives, they call them the KKK (democrats), the Confederacy (democrats), or nazis (socialists.) https://t.co/EXB0wJIPXD

There's a pattern here.

But listen to what Pressley is really saying. She's laying the groundwork to go after Trump supporters, too. That's what she means by "the Confederacy" being "alive and well."
