If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Honestly, I have sympathy for anyone in a Red State at this point, but also FAFO. You put a bunch of wierdo monsters in charge, what did you expect?

Total Assholes are the core GOP Demographic.
This is literally the defense given by white parents in my district when their students do exactly this.

Not to mention the biggest beneficiaries of race based quotas has always been white dudes. We just call them "Legacies" now.
Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like โSome Trump voters are racistโ we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like โGood morning fellow SS members. Whoโs ready to respect Hitler today?โ

The only shock is that the right-wing rag Politico bothered to report it.
