Feels like they’d go after 14th before 19th. Since it enables so many other things and they want slavery back.

    I uh, I hate the be the one to tell you this.

    The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

    Slavery never went away, it just needs an extra step. It's why Republicans criminalize "being Black," why they love to criminalize lots of things they don't like. In fact they probably would love to keep the 13th exactly as it is because it gives them perfect cover for the rubes. "We're not racist, we just don't like criminals!"

    As for the 14th, they don't have to burn it, they just have to constantly reinterpret it around White Grievance politics. See the redistricting fight currently happening today. Drawing voting districts to accurately represent minority populations in Congress is "akshually racist against white people."
