“we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

Rush Limbaugh was a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ignorant, abusive conservative.

I am not celebrating his death. Also not sad he died. His legacy is that of an abusive man whose words shaped a lot of people’s reality, and cemented a lot of homophobic, sexist, racist ideologies on the psyche of millions. He harmed marginalized people in unspeakable ways.
