If that’s not the most racist thing I’ve heard in a while…
This feels like serious doublethink
Just wait until you hear what trump just tweeted about the jews…
I mean, he didn’t, but you were already prepared to say to yourself “Oh god, what NOW???”
Mostly because him, and controversial shit are just on brand for him. Like I could say he reverse pardoned the central park 5. That’s where you force a conviction even if the crime isn’t true.
And some people would believe me. And a reverse pardon isn’t even a thing. And even if it was, he doesn’t take oath until tomorrow.
Some people could still believe me. That’s just how shitty of a person he’s historically been, and how often he’s been shitty, that you could make up any obviously false claims, and it would still seem plausible.
I like to think I’m not any more gullible than anyone else, but every time I’ve heard something horrible from the orange convict, it’s beyond preposterous and somehow even worse than I was dreading. Yes, I’m prepared to hear and believe even worse. Yes, I can no longer enjoy political comedy because reality is more ridiculous
Trump just ate a cat.
Bullshit, he’d never eat pussy
I knew he was Hatian! How has he hidden that do well
/ducks and runs
It is crazy that the American south is still like this
Tbf there’s the South and there’s Alabama and Mississippi South.
And Louisiana, sometimes. And Georgia, obviously. Florida.
Texas… Okay, it’s the whole South.
But at least that cancer hasn’t spread to the Midwestern states!
Ohio checking in…why do we have confederate flags in northern Ohio? Hell the only thing seperating us from Canada is a god damn lake!!! How much more north can you get???
How much more north can you get???
I seem to recall that you guys and Michigan had a “war” over that exact question…
Oh yeah…we lost. We got stuck with toledo…
And we got the beautiful, mineral-rich upper peninsula. Pretty good trade in the end!
Nova Scotia here, even we’ve got ‘em.
I went to Ohio to visit family as a teen in the 90s and it was normal. I went again as an adult and suddenly everyone I wasn’t related to had a southern accent and was very…banjo duel…
WTF happened to you Ohio?!
Heroin.
Alaska?
Touche
It’s the same across all the Midwest - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas… I don’t even think the Dakotas were states during the Civil War, but there’s the loser-traitor flag all over across the upper Midwest.
Idahoan checking in here. Yeah, Confederate flags were a constant sight throughout my time living there (born and raised, just emigrated at 25yo)
And Arkansas. Been through that state and in some of those small towns, as much as they don’t want to be known that way, it’s true.

Should have Year Zero’d them in 1865. Hang every plantation owner and Confederate officer, shut down every bank that funded slave purchases, break up the plantations and distribute the land to the freed slaves. May Andrew Johnson burn in hell.
Two dogshit states that should have been razed and had the earth salted.
US grant let Sherman roll!

Recently drove through Mississsippi and Alabama ( off I-20). Seems like they have more important thinks to worry about.
It’s cheaper to incite racism than to deliver government services
The roads are murder there
More cracks then a plumbers’ convention.
For clarification: this isn’t new, from what I can tell in the article, they started the Robert E Lee holiday following the civil war, and MLK day came after.
Not that they shouldn’t be absolutely clowned on for this.
I thought Americans celebrate winners not losers.
But he was white and hated black people. So that’s kind of thrir team.
The south lost the war but won the peace through protracted terrorism.
They don’t think the Civil War is over.
The South will rise again!
-these people
Something about projection something something
It was Lee who opposed Confederate memorials. I’ll bet the orange traitor is toasting the fucking Confederacy right now.
So what’s next? Is Trump going to celebrate Hitler on Veteran’s Day?
He already does.
I can’t wait to watch the speech.
“And along with freedom fighter, Martin Luther King, we would also like to honor the great general Lee, who fought hard to keep half of our population in servitude and went on to surrender valiantly. While he didn’t win the war, he won our hearts.”
Sherman left too much of the South intact
The Radical Republicans tried to put Sherman in charge of Reconstruction. Too bad that didn’t happen.
the USA did not try those who financed the civil war as they should have
I guess Robert E Lee losing was helpful, but I suspect they’re just racists and not honoring him for being such a loser
He really was a loser.
If your local college has a Kappa Alpha chapter, it is basically a cult dedicated to worshipping Robert E Lee. He appeals to that “war between brothers” tragic story type of “Lost Cause” narrative, and is ridiculously popular among dominionist Christians.
I am from Virginia where we used to celebrate Lee Jackson King Day (in that order too).
Its is absolutely ridiculous, but not surprising.
