Civil War historian here when you fly the Confederate flag in your political rallies in 2024 you are announcing that you are a traitor to the American republic and uphold human bondage. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...
i wont speak for everyone, but as the son of a history teacher, my personal opinion is thus, *ahem*: general sherman did not go far enough with re: march to the sea, and andrew johnson should be considered a traitor for his failures to uphold reconstruction
I called out a bunch of locals once on it, and suddenly they were all constitutional scholars talking about the SCOTUS said it’s cool - but flag burning/stepping/whatever is bad.
Flag on your taint, though? Thats foreplay.
That's why the leftiest left person in town (me) is the Flag Committee chairman.
When I first moved here, official flags on Memorial Day were at full-staff. I enquired if I could move them. I also asked I could replace them since they were worn out. Boom. You're on the flag committee.
And the only ones they ever fly are the ones that are for solidarity with bootlickers and fascists.
Never see the "Thin Red Line" flag or the "Thin White Line" flag anywhere. For Firefighters and Paramedics, you know people who actually save people.
This is the flag of people who fought for the license to sell their own children on open auction as sex slaves, but delight in accusing their opponents of pedophilia.
If Kari Lake is campaigning with Confederate flags,
she's clearly supporting the insurrection the 14th Amendment was written about, and not some new-fangled "maybe it's an insurrection or maybe it's just lots of freedom of assembly" sense.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find your way through the vileness to the content you want. Unfortunately, the algorithms have only amplified the hate.
There are a lot of evil, nutjobs in the MAGA cult but batshit crazy Lake may be one of the worst. Hopefully she get beat as bad by Gallego as bad as she got beat by Katie Hobbs in 2020 AZ Gov race.
Alas, that is precisely what many of them mean. They have no interest in the ideals of America would be quite happy to see their 'interiors' reduced to chattel slavery.
When the media gets over the 'good people on both sides', the general public will start to see that.
Lake is a conniving snake but it’s important to know this “rally” was held a Trump flag store.
Her campaign should be chastised for not removing it but it wasn’t their decision to fly it. It was sadly already there
OK, so it isn't "woke" to fly the Confederate Flag, I get that ...so why is it "woke" to display the Nazi Flag and wear SWASTIKA armbands... wouldn't these be Traitors, too?
Hell, even Germany has outlawed Nazi icons....
