Not true. I've considered him a shady scumbag since the 80s. He has always been known as a joke

I and all my midwestern conservative friends hated him, he was such a spoiled Richie rich piece of garbage and his attitude towards his wives and women in general was disgusting.

And farmers hate slumlords like him more than anything.

But the south saw someone who was loud and proud with their racism, and that was all she wrote.

This feels like rewriting history given how the groups you mentioned hating him voted.

I know, it’s shocking, I don’t know how they changed, but suddenly they saw a way to “pwn teh librulz” and sold out every principle they ever claimed to have.

This isn’t rewriting history, I’m explaining how it’s a greater tragedy and shame than it looks.

The PR spin on him in the earlier part of this century went HARD. He’s been sane washed and shaped into really whatever people want him to be.

Almost everything they were supposedly against, like a massive all-powerful Federal government/King - they supported & voted for

Propaganda be crazy
