@ParisStasiuk [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : @JoeBiden Love how you interjected “SOUL” as if it were a positive narrative for the #DNC, then poised “CHARACTER” for the #GOP. Why YES Joe. You are trying to steal the souls while Don is changing characters of many. Thanks for pointing out the obvious #WOKE in your tweet! [URL redacted]

Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostJenniferMendelsohn and #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostPeterShulman "While the Klan presence at the Democratic convention was significant, it was not enough to control the proceedings. Yet members of the Invisible Empire were not exactly invisible. On June 25, 1924, the second day of the convention, a reporter for the young tabloid New York Daily News published a breezy, joking announcement from the Democratic convention hall in Madison Square Garden declaring that the 'Klanbake steamed open at 12:45.' An exhaustive search of contemporary newspapers, digitized and microfilmed, including papers published by the Klan itself, found not a single instance of another publication, including the Daily News, ever using this term again during their coverage of the convention or its aftermath. In the decades that followed, neither the lone book nor scholarly articles about the convention referenced this supposedly well-known 'nickname,' nor do any of the most-respected histories of the Klan. Yet today, this moniker has emerged as widely known shorthand for the convention -- shorthand that conveys the mistaken message that Democrats were the party of the Klan in the 1920s." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/03/15/how-social-media-spread-a-historical-lie/
