    “Its not racism its history” yeah, a history of racism.

    “It was about states rights!” Yeah, the state’s rights to own slaves.

    “It’s a part of our past” yeah, part of our past of being absolute monsters.

    “I am still proud of my heritage” I guess you need to have your ass beat into the ground AGAIN, then.

    There’s a reason the same people that fly the confederate flag fly a Trump flag. They like things that last a few years and lose

      Even the reddest counties in the reddest states vote 10% blue. Most red states have strong pockets of blue in cities. (Nashville, Charleston, pretty much all of south Florida). Many southern states are purple or even blue! Georgia has two blue senators and a governor! Virginia has two blue senators and a red governor. North Carolina is up there too.

      I’m very afraid for those people if the fascist lunatics get more control. I know you are sort of joking that we can’t just abandon them to that fate.

      Also selfishly: do we really want the Christian Taliban to create an Afghanistan with y’all Quida next door to us? That wouldn’t end well.

    Meh, The union, Confederates, they are the same utter shit in my non American eyes.

    The Union is no saint, specially when it comes to racist shit.

    Fuck the US, all my homies hate the US.
