As I said I think it’s pretty interesting this idiot going on about how the Blue Live Matter Flag represents the “Confederacy’’ since it was Southern Democrats who created the Confederacy. Interesting further more since we now have a Democrat administration in DC.
That’s neither being liberal or conservative.
Just a simple fact of history.
It is indeed a fact, but it’s also solid conjecture that something changed c. 1900 wherein Democrats became more about “Progressivism” (socialism) while Republicans less so. (Teddy Roosevelt left the Republican party declaring himself “Progressive” - which I doubt any prominent Republicans had done SINCE.) They flipped basically. Also consider Dems UNIVERSALLY celebrate the US ONLY when it comes to the “Civil War” - they are lock-step pro-Union and Lincoln; otherwise they hate the US, while this is not true of the average “Southerner” today. Republicans as usual are more “open-minded” on this and many of us do not sympathize much with Lincoln and the “Union”.
