The War of Southern Aggression

The MAGA reconstruction of the North is well underway

Weekend Reading
Angry at their 2020 election loss, violent thugs from the #MAGA movement, with #neoconfederate & #neonazi symbols. stormed the Capitol in a planned #Jan6 #coup attempt #ThisDayInHistory in 2021. Its leaders were not prosecuted, and on reëlection #Trump pardoned everyone in 2025.
#Neoconfederate propaganda film #GoneWithTheWind, still the highest-grossing movie adjusting for inflation, had its première on #ThisDayInHistory in 1939. Its depiction of #Reconstruction is offensively inaccurate, contributing to generations of #racist apologetics for the South.

We may have given asylum to more Nazis than Holocaust survivors after WWII, and our #neoconfederate and #anticommunist social orientation laid fertile ground for the spread of #neofascism & #neonazism. They're chanting "Closed borders, white nation, now we start the deportation."

When hundreds of far-right extremists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, chanting “Jews will not replace us,” they saw the removal of Confederate statues as a material challenge to white power. Affirming a renewed Trumpian era of unconstrained white supremacist organizing, the deadly Unite the Right rally had been called under the banner of protecting the city’s statue of Robert E. Lee, which had been ordered for removal.

Trump infamously used the statue protest to launder white supremacist violence. “Many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee,” the president said. “The press has treated them absolutely unfairly,” he said of the neo-Nazi rally attendees.

Monuments to racism license racist violence. White supremacists, for their part, know this well.

i need y'all to understand #AbortionBans, blessed by the Republican-controlled #SCOTUS are de facto declarations of secession.

USA is now controlled from #SCOTUS by a new #Confederacy. when i use #Neoconfederate to describe the southern fascist states, am doing it because, just as with the first confederacy, this second one used the courts and shady state legislation to defend their slaveocracy.

remember that the Confederacy made more money breeding slaves than selling cash crops.

@gwynnion The GOP has spent the better part of my 71 yrs fomenting racial fear/resentment in the white population that was always primed to be easy marks for such moves. Their whole party is now a movement to restore the ideals of the Confederacy.
During that time the #DemocraticParty spent most of it ceding ground to an #Oligarchy that only strengthened the far right #NeoConfederate GOP. Now they attempt to fight back with a senile warmonger with his own racist past.
@chrisgeidner Red States are mostly well on the way to being fully #ChristoFascist. Seems likely that even with #DemocraticParty wins in Nov, this nation will continue an unraveling process that began with the #GOP adoption of a #NeoConfederate ideology decades ago.
