MSNBC legal commentator Elie Mystal thinks that Republicans are wrong about the law almost all of the time. Now, instead of talking about this on cable news, Mystal explains why in his first book.
“After reading Allow Me to Retort, I want Elie Mystal to explain everything I don’t understand - quantum astrophysics, the infield fly rule, why people think Bob Dylan is a good singer….” (Michael Harriot, The Root)
Allow Me to Retort is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.
Mystal brings his trademark humor, expertise, and rhetorical flair to explain concepts like substantive due process and the right for the LGBTQ community to buy a cake, and to arm listeners with the knowledge to defend themselves against conservatives who want everybody to live under the yoke of 18th-century White men. The same tactics Mystal uses to defend the idea of a fair and equal society on MSNBC and CNN are in this book, for anybody who wants to deploy them on social media.
You don’t need to be a legal scholar to understand your own rights. You don’t need to accept the “Whites only” theory of equality pushed by conservative judges. You can listen to this book to understand that the Constitution is trash but doesn’t have to be.

Yo, Elie, pick up any history book that has not been revised by progressives and you will see that Republican Party was founded to fight slavery. The Democrats have the history of a “slaveholding past”.
Democrats owned slaves
Democrats fought (politically) to keep slavery.
Democrats succeeded from the Union.
Democrats implemented gun control to keep them out of the hands of former slaves.
Democrats enacted Jim Crowe laws.
Democrats formed the KKK.
Democrats were active in the KKK.
Democrats instituted segregation.
Democrats fought against integration.
Democrats fought Civil Rights.
Democrats fought the Voting Rights Act.
Democrats fight to keep African Americans in the failed public school system.
Democrats use “slavery” and “racism” to keep power over African Americans.
Democrats have the legacy…. educate yourself.

@bosk Those Democrats were the CONSERVATIVES of their day. You know, there was this little thing called the party switch. They were all your guys.
Educate yourself.

@bosk: who is waving the Confederate flag now? At whose rallies? Who was waving it on Jan 6?
“Democrats fought the Voting Rights Act.”
Democrats introduced and passed the Act. Then Republicans spent the next 5 decades working to weaken it once they too control of the Supreme Court.

@bosk democrats where the conversative party until the 1950s then all conversatives moved to the republican party and because of racism issues.
yes it is super dumb that they kept the same party names after their ideologies changed completely, but it is true.

The party switch narrative is fiction invented by the Demoncraps to escape their racist past. They are still the same party though. The only thing that has changed is the plantation.
