    The guy in line to lead the most powerful military the world has ever seen wants to start an “insurgency.” I’m sorry, that’s just one piece of vocabulary you’re not entitled to.

    Yes because these are totally the kind of people we want instilling “Christian ideals” in our kids.

    If you can’t sell your BS to an adult, or even abide by them yourselves, then stay the fuck away from my kids.

          Did the Confederacy actually lose, though? Or did the Union just suffer a pyrrhic victory?

          Edit: Just saying, the Confederacy lost but their flag is still flown on the state flag of Mississippi, Reconstruction didn’t go far enough and failed, sharecropping, Jim Crow laws, segregation, civil rights movement opposition, systemic and societal racism is still rampant and accepted (Trump), hell, the “state’s rights” arguments is still one of the first reasons people give for the cause of the Civil War. Fuck, we still have legal slavery via our prison system.

          So… Did the Confederacy actually lose? Cause they’re ideology, beliefs, and the consequences of their hate is still rampant, and we’re still dealing with their bullshit.

          On the one hand, because liberals believe in free speech and not in the suppression of rival ideas by force. On the other hand, because Reconstruction failed.

          Because the USA is still operating under a caste system, so in that sense they never lost.
