"Buy muh Southern Pride!"

"What about the south are you proud of that involves the battle flag of the side that wanted to keep slavery?"

The flag for a nation that lasted less than 5 years. Bill Clinton's presidency was a longer piece of Southern heritage than that.

Cocomelon has lasted for over four times as long as the Confederacy

They're being beaten by mind-numbing nursery rhymes

Matthew McConaughey's career is almost eight times as long as the Confederacy. Why aren't they proud of that piece of Southern heritage? Why am I not seeing this on the back of jacked-up pickup trucks?

Cuz "that would be gay", and Conservatives only allow themselves to be gay in secret

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If that is gay, what is this???

An actual picture of a 6’3" 215 lb Donald Trump^TM^?

Oh sure, a Matthew McConaughey flag is gay but dressing up in a fancy grey suit and hanging around in a tent in a field with a bunch of other fetishists is perfectly straight.

Your problem here is you're expecting conservatives to use logic

An awful, hot, itchy, wool suit.

Oh, o-oh my o///o

I don't bother learning anyone's names (or backgrounds, or anything really) in showbiz, but I may make an exception. Strictly for learning. Strictly.

I was proud of being a punker in 1988. That phase lasted longer than the Civil War.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it didn’t last longer than the racism and manifest destiny that caused the civil war….

And ~lived on for decades afterwards~ still lives on to this day

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life. Growing up, there was some religiously homeschooled dumb ass serving in the mn national guard who said that the Virginia battle flag was heritage. The last time I talked to him, I told him that the only heritage for us involving that flag is in the MN historical society archives.

Damn, you found a Minnesotan who's enough of a loser to want to give up the flag? I thought that was the one issue that united the Right and Left in that state.

I'm still not entirely convinced that he wasn't actually from Iowa

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That'd make a lot of sense.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Racism.

Feudalism.

Dysfunctional government.

Xenophobia.

Hatred of social mobility.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Losing is a big part of it. Losing their violent defense of racism.
