I didn't name a party, I named a group of traitors. But yes, those ultra conservative Dems were traitors. As is so often the case with conservatives on the wrong side of history

lol what? The Confederates were Democrats. Republicans fought the Confederacy.

Yes, the conservative Democrats of the time. Just like Lincoln and the Rs were liberal. It's basic history.

For a bit easier or a question for your brain - which party currently flies the flag, claims it is "their heritage", and is forcing schools to teach about the Confederacy in a positive light.

Ill give you a hint, it's not the Dems. That should narrow it down for you enough where even you can figure it out

No such thing. Democrats being the only applicable word there.

If by “bad faith” you mean the mental gymnastics you’re doing to absolve Democrats for being the Confederacy, then we finally agree on something

You never answered the question about which party's constituents are the ones currently flying the Confederate flag. Are you scared to answer that?

Are you also trying to say that the Confederates weren’t Democrats?

u/BrightGreenLED 3h ago

Why won't you answer the question?

It's almost like you are programmed to avoid answering.

Democrats owned slaves. Republicans fought to free the slaves. Neither Republicans nor Democrats own slaves in 2026. Flags are irrelevant

Because it’s irrelevant. You want to make the parties flipped argument and I’m not entertaining it.
