I mean, the state's right to be a slave owning state is the same thing.

As a Texan I believe it. I fully believe my brother-in-law will become one of these people someday. He is just about everything people hate about conservatives.

The ironic part is as things are now we're far closer to a dictatorship under Trump then we ever were with Obama.

But Trump is an R and he's with Ted Cruz who we have to vote for because Beto isn't his name and Pelosi who is running in every state I am very informed.

As I saw someone say on Twitter the other day, there's a sort of delicious irony in watching conservatives tell liberals "you lost, get over it" while they wave flags which were literally carried by traitors. Who, you know, lost.

Which is a fair point, but you wouldn't believe the amount of unintelligible screeching that comes from Confederate apologists on the subject.

The only people I know who do that are dumbfuck rednecks. I certainly was not taught that in school.

Hmm...Virginian here and I've never heard it called that in any school I've gone too.

Huh. Maybe school by school then, or their history teacher happened to be a redneck.

They probably decided it's better to accept that the war was fought over slavery, but blame democrats for it.
