I don’t support anything the confederacy stood for. See? Easy. Do it.
Whats the trap?
I feel like that specific wording is key to the trap. Maybe I’m just paranoid.
But fuck it, I’ll walk into the trap and take the bait.
I don’t support anything the confederacy stood for.
Your turn. Is rebellion worse than slavery?
Only in the case where the rebellion is fighting for slavery and not against it.
There is no trap.
So take the post down, because if you don’t you’re saying it’s pro-conservative (by your own rules) and that conservatives support the confederacy.
This type of thing shouldn’t even be talked about. The statue represents a fight for evil.
You correct. It represents the Democrats and their attempt to keep slavery. It’s exactly why it should be kept to remind people that the Democrats fought for slavery and continue to divide people by race even now.

Not really. Which party still wants to divide people into races? The Democrats. The Democrats is all about dividing people into groups that are not important. People should be treated as people and not classifications.

The parties didn’t really switch. Voting patterns changed.
The Democrats lost focus of the working class people. They did offer some support to unions but the south isn’t very union.
The Republicans pushed the idea you can outgrow your situation and that message went over well in the south.

Except it doesn’t. It represents the exact opposite, that the fight against evil was won.
So no, I’m not taking it down.
They aren’t “heroes” as the statue would suggest.
