Although I live in TN & would be negatively impacted (not that I’m not already by the insane Republicans here) I’m thinking maybe we should go ahead and let the south secede for real. FAFO Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, etc. Maybe the North could keep Virginia & Miami can be the southern DC.
How are people okay with this? Why do people make things so difficult. The hatred in this country is unbelievable. Black MAGA, Gay MAGA, Trans MAGA, Disabled MAGA, Jewish MAGA… how do you fucking idiots feel now?
It will be a sad four year absence, but rest assured. It will return in four years. This country will never advance because every four years it’s just about rolling back the previous administration’s work.
It’s shameful what is happening. Everything that has been done to support equality for all will be dismantled under the $Conman. There’s a reason that ‘Not all Republicans are racists, but all racists are Republicans.’ $DonTheCon is a psychopath and a white supremacist. Who will save us?
And “confederate Memorial Day”(wait, is that the same as Gen Lee day?) When in SC was gleefully informed of its existence by temp employer when inquiring abt holidays. Ugh
If they do, I’m celebrating by throwing Molotov cocktails at their capitals (Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, the Carolina’s, Dakotas, Louisiana,…)
"In 2022, 31.2% of active-duty members in the US military identified as a racial minority. This is higher than the 24.5% non-white share of the US population at the time."
i wish we had some goddamn leadership on the left 😠 we're getting dangerously close to some Union vs Confederacy type scenarios but we have no organization or guidance
I once had to review state govt holidays and was shocked at the number that observe Confederate Memorial Day. Lee's birthday is a holiday in AL & MS, a legal but unpaid holiday in FL and combined with MLK Day in several states. Given that, I guess I shouldn't be shocked by current events, but I am
I was so naive as a youth. Growing up in the 90s, listening to Civil Rights leaders and Holocaust survivors in school assemblies, I never thought that racism and Nazism would become so widely and openly acceptable.
I remembered when I briefly lived and worked in Virginia they had Lee/Jackson/King day - as in Robert E.Lee/Stonewall Jackson/MLK Jr. Day. This was in 2000. We’re definitely going back to that.
Yes, because bigotry kills our unity. It promotes division and prevents us from being able to fight back. They appeal to the darkest and most uneducated to lead us to ruin.

That's the sort of thing the MAGAts are looking for all the states . . . Live in prisons for all.
This is a great read.
The parallels are stark and staggering.
The enablers? GOP House and Senate. Buffoons Inc.
