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.

I mean, you're making my point for me.

I get your point. I do.

My point though was that that flag was a major issue that got thrown at me last year and those people do not care about the sense of history and tradition behind it.

It made the republican party look like a bunch of racist white supremacists.

That could be a lie, but it would have been an easy one to disprove. Just stop flying the rebel flag.

Take the wind out of their sails.

But no.

We're stuck in the past, and the left is using that to their advantage to pull ahead of us. They're using that against us. They're using it to discredit the rigged election theory.

🤷‍♂️

The problem is, you're playing the left's game. Do not cede an inch. Conservatives are abject failures, merely leftists five years ago.

Worried about being racist? You've already lost.

Take the wind out of their sails? Like Charlottesville? The left will blatantly lie. Stop cowering.

The left is using the fact that you're playing by their rules to their advantage.
