Why should the tax payers foot the bill for monuments of racist traitors?

Well, it IS Florida, after all.

Well, it IS Florida, after all.

If there were any true Americans living there, they'd erect statues of Sherman with a flamethrower right next to the confederate ones.

Also, this is proof positive that Trump is loyal to the CSA, and that his agenda is to destroy the USA. He should hang for that.

 

[The Catboy]

The fact that the “president” is looking to honor and celebrate traitors is very telling. Can’t wait for the same members to defend this

We are so back

Lmao sit the fuck down kid, robber barons might be back in style but the confederacy is permanently dead and buried. Forever chronicled as losers to the real USA.

reminder if anyone talks about how great the confederacy was, or that it was about "states rights"
annoying orange lasted longer than the confederacy.

Last I checked, Dems were the Confederacy back then, and also, the knucklehead that did not want a certain College Desegregated, George Wallace, was a Dem as well. Dems want to rewrite History, and destroy Monuments of how they were? Hell no, own that shit. Rather have those Monuments remain, so it teaches People to be better than that Racist BS.

You should have learned about this in school but just in case you slept through it, or grew up in the bible belt, there's a refresher.

And last I checked one of the two parties has a severe image problem with constantly waving the confederate flag.

This comment section went about exactly as I expected...

If only there was a place on the internet where either side of an argument didn't resort to calling the other side buzzwords.

And what happened to the rule "if you call the other side 'Nazi' or 'Hitler', you automatically lose the argument"?

 

[SeltzerMist]

There's no reason to differentiate Confederacy supporters from Nazis given how much of their ideologies overlap. The modern US conservative party has a number of these individuals who support them too.

It's not a buzzword anymore and that falls on MAGA.

 

[Taleweaver]

Any chance to Edit the op title? It's about statues, not statutes.

... And for that, i don't really have an opinion either way (this is strictly aan internal discussion that foreigners like me shouldn't have a say in anyway)

 

[SeltzerMist]

Yeah I saw that autofill after the fact... I don't know that I can change it :|

Musk has been criticized for allowing previously banned users back onto the platform, including Andrew Tate, Kanye West and some notorious neo-Nazi figures, and for reducing content moderation on the site. Musk — who has said he wants to promote "free speech" — has also floated the idea of removing the site's "block" feature.

“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%,” Trump said... "No, I never take military force off the table. But I think there's a good possibility that we could do it without military force"

I'm not sure about that RULE, but there is Godwin's Law.

Sounds like a rule a Nazi or Hitler made up.

The conjured-up Democrat outrage over the confederate flag is a fairly recent development felt mostly by ignorant youngsters who can't remember when it wasn't a big deal.

 

[SeltzerMist]

Oh trying to "same thing both sides" this LMAO

Yet, those buttons seem to not have been made by the unions handled the manufacturing of items for the Dem party back then.
