Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Except the idea wasn't solely within those leaders. That was the major issue with reconstruction that followed. We weren't just fighting people, we were fighting an idea. We're still fighting it. We would only be so lucky to fully extinguish an idea by hanging a few thousand people from a tree.
But muh heritage
It’s a part of my heritage to hunt slavers.
Battle Hymn of the Republic intensifies
You'd still have your heritage! And the heritage of hanging by your neck until dead!
TL;DR: Trump doesn't understand shit.
It's not about understanding — it's about making nice with people who wish the South had won.
indeed.
Don't fight uphill me boys! But it was too late.
In the past he's said it takes him six or seven flushes to get anything down.
Is that why we keep trying to flush and this turd won't flush?
If trump wins, my one solace will be that the cunts who voted for him will suffer.
Brilliant writing.

As an Ohioan let me tell you bout the war of southern aggression and how one of our boys had to go to Kansas and New York in response to that aggression…
