    He’s on a never ending quest to out-cunt himself. He takes it very seriously.

    Left hand: Protesters waving Mexican flags in the US are unpatriotic or traitors.

    Right hand: The names of the soldiers of the traitorous racist confederacy should be forever remembered and boosted above real Amercan soldiers and real American figures of good repute, plastered across our military bases, schools, and town squares. We should all romanticize these men who killed American soldiers in the defense of the institution of slavery.

    Gosh, now I wonder why he would want to do that?

    I mean, the cons are always so quick to complain when someone points out their long history of racism and things like the Southern Strategy.

    Who is this for, then, if not for the racists in his own party?

    Why do we want to keep them named after people who literally fought against the US?

        But don’t call them racists? Or so all the “moderate” Tone Police keep telling me, along with the racist cons themselves…calling them what they are is so mean.

    The Confederacy and its people were an enemy foreign state. It wasn’t like a little club the South had for a few years. They split from the USA. They were defectors, traitors, enemies of the USA.

    Not surprised Donny would do this, though. He dismissed the insurrection on Jan 6th, which was a group of defectors, traitors, and enemies of the USA. He’s a 34-time felon, which means he has a history of being against the US, its citizens, and their interests.

    Why do this? Because he believes the liberals are going to freak out about this and forget about rioting.

      Because a majority of his people don’t care about the racism or approve of it.

      It’s a populist move in the USA.

    What will this accomplish? They renamed the Sears Tower and nobody got on board. Sears went bankrupt and they still own the name of that skyscraper. This just seems like today’s flavor of wet fart.
