Canceling the Great Society

The Great Society was racist.

How do we know that?  It was created by Lyndon Johnson.  And Johnson was a racist.

How do we know he was a racist?  Because on various occasions, he used the N-word.

And does it not follow from ‘progressive logic’ that anything created by a racist is itself racist, and must be canceled?  The syllogism looks like this:

  • Johnson was a racist.
  • Anything created by a racist is racist.
  • Johnson created the Great Society.
  • Therefore, the Great Society is racist.
  • Anything racist must be canceled.
  • Therefore, the Great Society must be canceled.

So woke progressives must call for the repeal of every government program that was created or expanded during the Johnson Administration.

And until repeal can be achieved, woke progressives must refuse to participate in those programs, e.g., by accepting money from Medicare or Medicaid, by making use of provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, by adhering to the restrictions in  the Gun Control Act of 1968, and so on.

Furthermore, any Supreme Court Justice nominated by a racist must himself be racist, so woke progressives must demand that any Supreme Court decisions that were authored by Abe Fortas or Thurgood Marshall, or which required their concurrence, be overturned.

Any person who is not actively working towards these things is a racist, and needs to be called out.

And once we’ve finished dealing with the Great Society, we can get to work on the New Deal, which was similarly created by the racist president Franklin Roosevelt.
