  • It’s a good time to remember that the “stars and bars“ was not commonly used until the 1948 presidential election when the Dixiecrats used it as a Ku Klux Klan dog whistle.

    It was never the symbol of the Confederate states of America, only one little battle group in Virginia.

    That’s sad, not every Southerner, who takes pride and being a Southerner is a slobbering racist.

    if you really wanna get past this current hate filled chapter and move onto a better society, we have to have a way or Southerners to have pride in the good parts of their culture. The same way we let other cultures off the hook for the bad things that have happened in their culture.

    it is certainly not fair to hold people of African descent responsible for the fact that the worst part of rounding up the people that were used in the slave trade was done by Africans.

    Still, to hell with the MAGAts, they’re doing this shit on purpose and they know what they’re doing.





  • And I am personally glad to learn about it from other people’s mistakes and experiences.

    It wouldn’t be the first thing that sounded crazy but changed the world.

    Most of the time it turns out that the crazy sounding thing is crazy and I appreciate easily keeping up without having to chase every rabbit hole.
