I love when Cody's Showdy goes deep into the ravenous hole of American History and draws a line from an important time in the past to its repercussions today.

I never considered that the conservative mantra of "fiscal responsibility" and "ending wasteful government spending" was so deeply rooted in white supremacy.

I mean, I kind of did with the racist depiction of a "welfare queen" and whatnot during the Reagan Administration, but not to the scale that Cody describes.

Good video, though I hate the running joke with the sock puppet. Its really not as funny as they seem to think it is.

Like, I get that it's a metaphor for moderate libs, but I agree. The voice is way too obtrusive for me to just idly listen to.
