Have you ever been to a civil war reenactment?

Nope. Why?

Because you have no idea what the Confederacy means to many Americans. I'm not going to bore you with details. If you ever get the chance, attend, keep an open mind (imagine it was a civil war of a different country), and ask lots of questions.

I've been to one, it was amazing, blew away all my preconceptions.

I'm not say that you'll see the Confederate flag and love it, but it will tremendously deepen your understanding of America.

😑

Oh you mean there's more to the history than what is generally known?

Agreed.

That's not the point I was making. It's bad form to wave that flag around while trying to win a key demographic vote.

My point is that the flag is used by three people.

  1. Leftists trying to make the right look bad.
  2. Idiots who think it makes them cool, like smoking and swearing.
  3. Loyal Americans with a deep sense of tradition and patriotism.

The last group is the largest.
