And they make great guns

@Fitzydog Occasionally honored the other side. And quite a few memorials are being vandalized and destroyed regularly as we speak.

Statues getting taken down in the US

Colleges and cities

Comrades, we must destroy and eliminate these confederate Participation trophies that the conservatives hate

Memorial plaques to soldiers too

Weren't the confederates democrats

I don't remember us history

No bulli

racist spotted

I've heard of petitions to have Confederate remains exhumed from Arlington National Cemetery and just... Presumably buried in a trash dump.

And yes

In college they teach that Democrats and Republicans inexplicably switched every single position they believed in after the Civil War.

So they can maintain their superiority complex.

Im almost positive the democrats are still racist as fuck

They literally teach that the parties swapped.

Like joe biden with the "Mr. Obama is certainly more well behaved than most black men" in 2006

"Rich kids and black kids" biden

If the parties swapped, you'd expect Democrats to have fought for Civil Rights instead of Republicans.

The "different times" excuse kinda gets cut off at the turn of the millennia

@EnderOctanus so was it the republicans against slavery?

Right?

Mhmmm

Yes

Ffs

And Jim Crow

Republicans pushed for the Civil Rights Act

And most of the people marching in the 60s were registered republicans

But also a decent amount of democrats

50s and 60s is when the left started getting fucky

Oh kek

The south used to be completely Democrat. But in recent times more and more have switched to Republican due to economic reasons.

Daddy was a clansman a southern democrat, bedsheet robes and a funny lookin hat

Republicans tended to be more well educated on various topics, thus more open minded. This was a time when being open minded didn't threaten to remove all tradition.

@Ondsinet Confederates would probably be Republicans today. Some still exist, and they tend to caucus with the libertarians

In the purely political sense of the term

@Fitzydog But for different reasons

Yeah they would be in a very strange sociopolitical position.

Depending on their view of race equality.

From a political science standpoint, confederalism is closer to Republicanism than democracy
