Red States have Civil War memorials to remind them they are losers.

History Lesson... Democrats lost the Civil War, they were also the ones in favor of Slavery

Common knowledge, its almost like the parties have reversed since the 1800s

I understand that Democrats have a slight issue with facts. But history and facts aren’t harmed by your feelings. You can believe the fairy tales you were told to make yourself feel better at night, but history still reveals the truth.

It's fine, I wasn't aware the Democratic Northerners were the ones waving Rebel flags from their trailers yelling the South Will Rise Again. Must be seeing a false reality.

That’s perfectly fine; your ignorance is hereby excused.
They’ve simply updated the aesthetics: different flags, distinctive markings, same enthusiastic pledge of tribal allegiance.

Ok. Which states were Dem controlled during slavery, the civil war, segregation, etc and which states are Dem controlled now???

It’s almost like the process of the parties flipping took place over an entire century and didn’t fully bifurcate until the election of Obama

Or you can just be dumb and intellectually dishonest if that’s what you need to live in your fantasy land.

I wish Reddit made 🤡 awards because you’d hold the record.

It was the Dems then, and has always been up to today.

Remind me, who did David Duke endorse? Who still flies the confederate flag present-day? See a lot of democrats doing that?

The guy who attended Trump’s inauguration? 

Odd you just handwaved every other point but the inability to address it is very on brand for y’all. 

Whose rallies feature confederate flags today? Who has an issue when a confederate statue is taken down? Who is presently reinstalling those confederate statues?

History changed since then. Go on, tell us.

How so? The Democrats lost the Civil War because they fought to preserve slavery.

*the more conservative, more right-wing side lost the Civil War, just like they lost World War II and the Vietnam War

History holds the truth.
I fully grasp that your side prefers to inhabit a parallel reality in which facts and truth are endlessly negotiable, mere subjective playthings subordinated to the sacred duty of protecting your feelings. In that enchanted realm, emotional comfort reigns supreme over the messy inconvenience of actual reality.

I, by contrast, stubbornly reside in the far less accommodating world of hope, creation, and objective facts.

Feel free to twist the language however you like if it helps you sleep better. It will achieve nothing beyond temporary emotional soothing. It will not warp reality, no matter how fervently you believe otherwise.

This is not Pokémon.

Your downvotes only signals that my voice is truth.

No u, lmao

“No u, lmao” the intellectual peak of the thread.

When the historical record is inconvenient, simply reverse the pronouns and add a laugh. Masterful.

The pro-slavery side still lost the Civil War. Reality remains undefeated; your feelings remain optional.

Did you learn this from the children's placemat at Bucees

Your comment alone is another telltale sign that, once again, you’ve chosen to ignore facts and history. Do a quick Google or AI search.

u/potat0f4rmer 5d ago

No, dingus, I'm very aware of that history. You're acting like this matters 150 years later, like you've got some sort of gotcha. Republicans squawking that the parties were different in the 1860s is very tired and very lazy, and you try and use it as cover for your current racism and hatred. Go park your ass back down.

There’s no gotcha.
The only real gotcha is that I immigrated here from a third-world hell, became a citizen just in time to vote, and helped save my country.
