In the class warfare of America, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters.

Uncle Tom had his issues, but he was the opposite of hateful.

Everyone assumes that Uncle Tom was a character like Sam Jackson's Stephen from "Django Unchained" or Uncle Ruckus from "Boondocks". The character in the book is nothing like this. In fact, Uncle Tom is an admirable character. How this man's name became a slur is more complicated than it first appears.

The weird part about reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is that its advocacy literature, and most of us don't need much convincing that slavery is bad. But we need this context to understand that Uncle Tom was created by a white woman to appeal to a white audience because it's his tragedy that is supposed to persuade the reader. Uncle Tom didn't fashion himself to please some master like Calvin Candy, he was created whole-cloth as a device to awaken empathy of white audience. It's not his character, it's his raison d'être.

Half of the US population LARP being obedient dogs and they take any criticism of such behaviour with disdain.

This propaganda must that good when adults who don't benefit from this arrangement larp with such fevor.

Disgusting

Why use that description of race? It’s the word used back then, but not today.

Most Americans are apparently oblivious to the state of affairs. The problem is the lack of accountability across the board. There are stupid policies of both parties. Taking away people's rights is no joke, though.

Can we just move on?

Sure this is a shower thought but it also is yet another politically changed thought.

Aww I know, it hurts to lose

You've just described a majority of the Democratic party as well. Don't forget a majority here was certain that Joe Biden was more dynamic than he'd ever been, and later convinced that supporting Israel's genocide and neocons would win Kamala the election.
