The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

Nobody is going to call those Delta guys, whether you agree with the mission or not, no one is going to call them un-American.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

I think everybody thinks these guys are just un-American.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

I mean, maybe I'm totally wrong about that.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

That's absurd.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

My mother's family was on the third boat after the Mayflower, literally.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

And the idea โ€“ yeah.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

And the idea that I should have more rights than Marco Rubio is insane.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

Like that's insane.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

Oh, Jesus.

Well, it's interesting because we are very much โ€“ we're all tribal people.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

The American tribe has been under assault from the right and the left for 30 years.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

I don't like that whataboutism and this side, that side, but this is true.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

Both sides have been attacking different fundamental foundational elements of the American tribe for the last 30, 40 years.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

And โ€“

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

They killed the American tribe and people were very tribal.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

And if you don't give them a tribe, they're going to find one.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

And so some of all this, like the lack of logic through these various groups just feels like people flailing around for tribes in the absence of one.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

I've never heard of heritage American, but it's sort of, but it feels like that's just, you know what I mean?

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

It's just people like.

The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

I'm sorry that I had to expose you to that.
