I spent the past week watching a few Facebook Groups Maine X Community and Maine Rising. It’s astonishing at the amount of blatantly false stories being shared and instantly believed. Anyone who tries to fact-check is assaulted with 6th-grade slurs and don’t get me started on the racism.

Yes, they are harkening back to a time when barbarity was the standard and celebrated with little trinkets of body parts. A fully formed unapologetic racial hierarchy as the founders wanted and encouraged.
I don’t think if you’ve studied Black history this claim holds weight. Look at the picnics as Black people were lynched. Look at the sadism of Jim Crow. Look at the white backlash to saying Black Lives Matter and cops should not kill us.
I think this speaks to a real moral degradation in the American right. They used to feel like they needed to justify sadism via higher principles or ends/means. Now, they don't care at all: the sadism is the point. It enforces hierarchy when that is all that Trump is willing to offer.

Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.
