MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

I completely agree.

I almost compare it to like the Pharaohs and how they, you know, the pyramids for the, like that, that is this modern version of that, the ballroom or the triumphant art.

Like that is that.

Which is why I think any future candidate, you know, who's running for office, one of their big priorities, honestly, should be detrumpifying everything, just going through every agency, getting rid of the people he put in, going through, you know, if he builds the ballroom, at minimum, taking his name off the stupid ball, like take his name off everything, take his photo off everything, change the passports, change the money, whatever he's going to do, there needs to be a process of removing all of that.

And I think when you look at all of these things that happen, especially when it's an issue like the Voting Rights Act,

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

this has become such a priority for this republican party and we've seen it um we saw it coming because even when you listened to like charlie kirk um before this election or big things that he spoke about what did he say was the biggest mistake the civil rights act he said was the biggest mistake

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

they've gone after the civil rights act they've gone after the voting rights act that was like uh one of the biggest uh things that hurt uh these people on the right and if you really want to go back all the way i think you can make a pretty solid argument that the civil war kind of never really ended and that we've kind of been in a cold civil war ever since and while the factions have shifted and they may have had a d in front of their name when it started and now they have an r in front of their name or behind their name

it's it's the same kind of arguments that are playing out and the same kind of racist forces at play that we're now seeing in 2026 and they've seen an opportunity with project 2025 with stacking the courts with having donald trump in office with having this congress where they think we could finally actually push these racist policies forward and we could dilute the black vote we could dilute the vote of anybody who doesn't look like us and we want to ensure our power in this society

You know, the ridiculous argument that always comes from the Trumpers and things where, you know, nothing makes sense is when they go, but the Democrats were the party of slavery.

The Democrats were the party of the confession.

Well, who's flying the Confederate flag right now?

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

I'm going to say you're not seeing too many Democrats flying the Confederate flag right now.

Perhaps the parties shifted.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

Perhaps they flipped.

because you all seem to be the ones who are supporting them you guys seem to be the ones who every opportunity you get are trying to pass legislation in order to ensure that black people don't vote don't have a say in our society and you are trying to make a white ethnostate here in the united states of america so i think your actions speak much louder than your bs arguments

If you think about it, right, just how did Donald Trump and MAGA react to losing in Virginia on the YES referendum, which is in response to all the MAGA Republicans' gerrymandering?

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

It's rigged.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/1/26

It's so unfair.

How could Democrats do gerrymandering?
