Spoiler 1: They are a hand-picked group of racists from around the GOP ecosystem (Federalist Soc, former Gov. of Mississipi, evangelicals, etc)

Spoiler 2: None of them are historians (well, there is a guy w/ a classics background and another w/ a BA in English/History & a podcast). I also have a history degree. I am by no means a historian.

Note: You don't need a degree necessarily to make valuable contributions, however, when you create something this where you to avoid having anyone involved in the field involved (esp. anyone who isn't an out and out bigot) then that's notable.
