    “Buy muh Southern Pride!”

    “What about the south are you proud of that involves the battle flag of the side that wanted to keep slavery?”

      The flag for a nation that lasted less than 5 years. Bill Clinton’s presidency was a longer piece of Southern heritage than that.

        Cocomelon has lasted for over four times as long as the Confederacy

        They’re being beaten by mind-numbing nursery rhymes

          Matthew McConaughey’s career is almost eight times as long as the Confederacy. Why aren’t they proud of that piece of Southern heritage? Why am I not seeing this on the back of jacked-up pickup trucks?

              Oh sure, a Matthew McConaughey flag is gay but dressing up in a fancy grey suit and hanging around in a tent in a field with a bunch of other fetishists is perfectly straight.

                Your problem here is you’re expecting conservatives to use logic

            Oh, o-oh my o///o

            I don’t bother learning anyone’s names (or backgrounds, or anything really) in showbiz, but I may make an exception. Strictly for learning. Strictly.

      I was proud of being a punker in 1988. That phase lasted longer than the Civil War.

        But it didn’t last longer than the racism and manifest destiny that caused the civil war….

      I’ve lived in Minnesota my whole life. Growing up, there was some religiously homeschooled dumb ass serving in the mn national guard who said that the Virginia battle flag was heritage. The last time I talked to him, I told him that the only heritage for us involving that flag is in the MN historical society archives.

        Damn, you found a Minnesotan who’s enough of a loser to want to give up the flag? I thought that was the one issue that united the Right and Left in that state.

        Racism.

        Feudalism.

        Dysfunctional government.

        Xenophobia.

        Hatred of social mobility.

        Losing is a big part of it. Losing their violent defense of racism.
