General Lee surrendered.

Now I understand why the trumptards are extra salty today.

The period between President's Day and Memorial Day is too light on federal holidays. I think Victory Over Treason Day, which falls about halfway between those two, would be a fitting addition.

Except slavery is the legacy of the Democrat Party.

Dafuq does that have to do with the price of tea in China, Ramone?

Nice one...lol

The Republican Party of today holds dear the then Democrat Party's policies and vice versa. Any history...or poly sci...or government class teaches this in their 101 course. Why haven't you learned it?

Or we can play it your way and ask why the party that freed the slaves wants to enslave them today by restricting their vote?

That's a great idea!!!

I think we should call it "UNITY DAY".

It would be very timely and fitting.

*nods*

Because they really, really do not want to believe it. You can't force anyone to learn the truth if they're committed enough to a lie.

No, they don't, and if they do that is part of the lefts lies and indoctrination.

A bullshit fantasy NONE of you can support.

The only thing the Democrats have changed is who they are proud to be racist against to get that vote from other racist.

^^ committed enough to the lie.

The divide that started the War between the States still exists today.

As does, in England, the Civil War between the Royalists and Parliamentarians. people don't forget and old hatreds last long...

True, but I can't help wondering, if we had pushed back against the romanticizing of the South's "lost cause", could that wound have healed by now? It's tempting to assume not, but since we only really started addressing the problem in a meaningful way around 1955...

• War is peace.
• Freedom is slavery.
• Ignorance is strength.
• 2+2=5

^^^Delusional

That's why you had to re-write my post???

LOL projection at it's finest.

Except slavery is the legacy of the Democrat Party.

And the legacy of the Republican Party is Nixon, the Iraq War and Trump.

That must be why more black people A - voted in Georgia last election and B - voted for Trump in higher percentages than any GOP candidate in 60 years. Because of all the suppressin' goin' on.

LOL, President Johnson, in 1964 remarked, once he signed off the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (so people could be treated like human beings) , Dems would lose the South "for a generation".

It was immediately then large droves of Dixiecrats ( Conservative Southern Democrats) ran over to the Repug party.

So guess what? The modern day Repug party is filled with the true Deplorables.

Very telling, isn't it?

 

[Bud_Spencer]

I find it odd that we Deplorables have to rely on port-side bed-wetters for our Alex Jones and RE Lee updates, since we're supposed to be the one obsessed with them. Speaking for myself, those names hadn't crossed my mind since the last time a palor pink mentioned them.

Considering the CRA only passed on the strength of GOP votes, that's amusing.

After I get ready to reject the notion that you are an alt of Vetty, out pops one of Vetty's favorite discredited memes: That Republicans helped pass the civil rights act

So, with great fanfare, let's take a trip down memory lane...

Before the Reagan Realignment of 1980, there used to be three distinct factions in the Republican party: the Cro-Magnon Goldwater/LeMay faction ("Bomb 'em back to the Stone Age"), the centrist Eisenhower faction ("Lets pretend segregation doesn't exist and maybe it will go away") and the Rockefeller faction (aka "limousine liberals").

Reagan simplified the parties by welcome Southern conservative racists into the Republican big tent, Radicalizing the evangelicals and purging all left and centrist thought.

To summarize:

• Conservative Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act
• Liberal Repubicans voted for the Civil Rights Act
• Vetteman is a choad

What I said: The GOP passed the CRA, not Democrats. The same GOP that would nominate Goldwater that year.

LIBERAL Republicans helped pass the Civil Rights Act, with the help of LIBERAL (i.e. non-Southern) democrats.

The southern legislators From BOTH parties were uniformly against the Civil Rights Act

No kidding, those Southern Dems were conservatives? The same ones that went along with the New Deal?

New Deal was in 1932.
Civil Rights Act was in 1964.
Lots happened in between.

Are you contending that the Dixiecrats were less racist in 1932, just eight short years after they took over the 1924 Dem nominating convention, aka, the "Klanbake?"

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Yeah, we know. Dems were the racists 100 years ago, since then the parties flipped and now the racists are republitards.
