I like this talking point of MLK being one of the "Founding Fathers" of a Nu America, after another revolution. The values of post war America are an explicit repudiation of the values of pre-war America. Modern day conservative civnat types speak of building a nation based on shared values and traditions while endorsing post-war values exclusively. Then they have the audacity to call you a Communist while lionizing MLK. The shit has never made any sense and was always in bad faith.
