When I was a kid, no one gave a shit if you had a Confederate Flag because people associated it with barbeques more than the Civil War. If people saw it on your law, they just assumed you liked Dukes of Hazzard.
Now it’s basically the lowercase version of the Nazi flag, because the Republicans wanted to use it as a dog whistle.
So thank you GOP for taking a once-harmless symbol of the South and turning it into everything New York accused it of being.
I knew it was all over when they waved the Confederate Flag on the lawn of the White House to protest Obama, no joke, the Tea Party did that shit. How could anyone interpret that as anything outside of “President is bad because he’s black”?
That’s what pisses me off the most really about Obama and Trump being called “Dividers”, it’s not hte same thing at all. The Right hated Obama because they’re racist, the Left hates Trump because HE’S racist.
