      and not even a traitor who is able bodied to fight, just some agitator hiding in his villain mar-a-lairgo

    Left hand: Protesters waving Mexican flags in the US are unpatriotic or traitors.

    Right hand: The names of the soldiers of the traitorous racist confederacy should be forever remembered and boosted above real Amercan soldiers and real American figures of good repute, plastered across our military bases, schools, and town squares. We should all romanticize these men who killed American soldiers in the defense of the institution of slavery.

    You guys know if you’d just let the Confederacy split off it’d just have been some backwater colonial state with oil money and little else right?

    It’s like he’s compelled to be on the moral wrong side of absolutely everything. Reminder: the Confederacy wanted to secede so they could continue owning and abusing black people for profit. What a garbage person Trump is…

      There has to be some kind of psychological term for this. Conservatives are obsessed with triggering the libs, it’s like they live in a perpetual state of wanting to be an asshole.

        First of all, it’s an “ellipsis”, “ellipses” is plural. If you’re going to contribute nothing to a conversation, at the very least don’t be wrong about your only point.

        Secondly, my writing is valid, according to the University of Oxford Style Guide, so you’re already wrong twice:

        Use an ellipsis to indicate a trailing off in speech or thought. We could do this…or maybe that…

        Lastly, it’s an internet discussion, not a doctoral writing dissertation. And it’s not even close to the worst punctuation on this site, so you can fuck alllll the way off…

          It’s an old law of the internet that any complaint about grammar or spelling will contain at least one spelling or grammatical error.

    The Confederacy and its people were an enemy foreign state. It wasn’t like a little club the South had for a few years. They split from the USA. They were defectors, traitors, enemies of the USA.

    Not surprised Donny would do this, though. He dismissed the insurrection on Jan 6th, which was a group of defectors, traitors, and enemies of the USA. He’s a 34-time felon, which means he has a history of being against the US, its citizens, and their interests.

    Gosh, now I wonder why he would want to do that?

    I mean, the cons are always so quick to complain when someone points out their long history of racism and things like the Southern Strategy.

    Who is this for, then, if not for the racists in his own party?

      He was a cool guy, a very nice guy. He really stood up for his beliefs, which is something that me and him have in common, liberals don’t like us.

    Why do this? Because he believes the liberals are going to freak out about this and forget about rioting.

      Because a majority of his people don’t care about the racism or approve of it.

      It’s a populist move in the USA.

      He definitely doesn’t want the rioting to end, he is actively trying to make it bigger. What he wants to people forgetting is that Musk repeated that Trump is in the Epstein flight logs.

      Because he thinks people are going to freak out and protest over it

      It’s interesting how when France or Germany protests and property is damaged, US media always calls them protests, but when my compatriots do it, they’re “riots.”
