    Republicans constantly remind us that the Confederate slave owners were in fact Democrats and that they freed the slaves from the evil racists liberals.
    So if it’s a monument to the Democrats that lost their lives to defend racism why exactly are they scathing mad about it being torn down again?

    I mean I know why, and you know why, but how would they respond if asked the same question?

      Every time someone tries to pull this nonsense just remind them that it was the South who owned slaves, the South who fought a war over slavery, and the South who is filled with idiots who get raging mad when you pull down the monuments to their treason. The labels don’t matter at all.

      You can’t apply reasonableness and common sense to crazies. Much like their religion, they have absolutely no problem with contradicting themselves from one sentence to the next.

      They’ll, with a completely confident look, repeat the impossible. And blame you for not understanding if you point out it is impossible.
