Dudes claiming they are "old stock" or "heritage" Americans. They'll even call other white people who's ancestors weren't here before the Civil War "ellis islanders" and invaders.

As someone who's ancestry has partially been here since the 1690s.. it's a crock of shit and silly as fuck.

    This sounds like what Canada went through 20 years ago - a new far right party emerged, and all of a sudden "Old Stock Canadian" was being used. Really, it's used as a way of describing rural white folks, so, a racist term.

        Part of the thing I don't like about evangelical revanchism is that (a.) I don't what social protection I have destroyed, and (b.) I have no desire to get caught up in whatever weird sectarian conflict they pivot to when they decide the pope is an agent of the devil and turn on the catholics again or whatever
