President Yoon and Conservative Lawmakers Make Visit to Commemorate Gwangju Uprising

This is actually smart move by President Yoon to try and de-politicize the Gwangju Uprising issue from the liberals:

President Yoon Suk-yeol (3rd from L) participates in singing the song “March for the Beloved” symbolizing a 1980 pro-democracy uprising during a memorial ceremony at a national cemetery in the southwestern city of Gwangju on May 18, 2022, to mark the 42nd anniversary of the democracy movement that took place in the city. (Yonhap)

President Yoon Suk-yeol and some 100 lawmakers from the ruling People Power Party (PPP) traveled to the southwestern city of Gwangju on Wednesday and paid their respects to the victims of the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in an unprecedented outreach to the home turf of the main opposition party.

The civil revolt, in which Gwangju citizens rose up against the then military junta led by late former President Chun Doo-hwan, has long been associated with the liberal opposition Democratic Party (DP), and the conservative party has kept a distance from it amid perceptions its roots have ties to Chun.

“Now run along and go shoot up a school.”

That is insulting.

The Violent Right is not filled with disconnected geeks unaware of the latest trends.

The new haaawt is the parking lots of BIPOC bars and clubs.

That’s where the action is.

I have to clear it with Trump first, but after I take my daily fish tank cleaner, I’m going to pour some bleach on a negro and yell about MAGA country then go home and finish my manifesto.
