"The real racism is anti-racism. Can we go back to the three fifths compromise? #originalism"

I was singing the wrong words to a Snapcase song. I thought he was shouting "filth" but now i think he's saying "self" and somehow this makes me accept the idea of a "soft s" as the American forefathers intended it

“Sometimes the #federal government will misbehave,” he said, “& you can’t count on #Congress always to rein the federal government in.”
