    I suspect they’re going to attack MLK Jr. on his “character”. They love to cite that he cheated on his wife, which…okay, yeah, that’s bad. But any reasonable person can see that his alleged cheating and his campaign for civil rights are separate issues.

      It’ll probably be about his criticisms of capitalism, and his progressive economic ideals that neolibs love to gloss over when they do their performative worship of his memory.

      Capitalism is basically a religion to these people at this point.
