Fire Memes for Traitor Haters

Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

This is why I cringe every time I hear someone say trump is the worst president ever. Yeah he's horrible, probably worst in the last century, but he didn't single handedly sabotage radical reconstruction and take away any chance to disempower and punish the treasonous planter class, instead of letting them rule the south for another century and bring back slavery in all but name.

I guess he's got a second term to prove me wrong though ๐Ÿ™ƒ

proto-redneck

only without the true origins of the term in the labor movement and only with the modern co-opted messaging. i'd probably go with proto-fascist since apparently there's no room for subtlety in modern times
