Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

They have found a smug lie that they can use as an excuse to vote for the bigotry that exists on their side of whatever wedge issue drives their entire identity. Or it is latent racism they don't want to consciously admit to. Probably both.

Nothing you say or do will get them to admit Repubs are campaigning on a platform of bigotry. "Southern Strategy" "Nuh-uh." "Goldwater literally campaigned on voting against civil rights." "Nuh-uh." "Why are all the Confederate and Nazi flags welcome at Repub events?" "Nuh-uh." "Donald called all Mexicans rapists and thieves." "That's about the economy."
