Being "nice" after the civil war is how we got here.
Finish the job this time.
Just crunched the numbers and made a shocking discovery: 0% of Confederate civil war veterans voted for Trump.
You haven’t met my dad’s family.
Good point. You've changed my mind.
Do I really need to break it down for you? Lincoln was shot shortly after the civil war. Shit heel Andrew Johnson sabotaged reconstruction. None of the traitors were hanged. They went on to implement Jim Crow. The descendants of the same racist lazy scumbags are unwinding the civil rights act and want to turn the clock back to antebellum.
They want white supremacy and slavery. They’re well on their way to achieving it.
You need to break down what the alternative is.
Right now we're talking about not alienating people who drop their support for trump.
What exactly is the alternative and how does that realistically play out.
A fish rots from the head. Jail for Trump and his conspirators.
Work your way down.
Constitutional amendments to make Supreme Court justices accountable for malfeasance.
I agree with both of both of those things.
But that's not really really related to buddy who voted for Trump and realized he's a piece of shit.
