Unsurprisingly, the #GOP rushes to defend a traitor, coward, and loser who was hated by his own side nearly as much as Americans did.

Who was Fort Bragg named after? The South’s worst, most hated general.

Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis say they would restore the Fort Bragg name if elected. Its namesake was a “merciless tyrant” who helped lose the Civil War.

@TwShiloh I randomly realized today that we don't have a national holiday to commemorate the end of the Civil War. Wikipedia tells me Memorial Day was originally that, but changed over time to honor all vets.
I wonder how many other nation-states that have had civil wars commemorate the day that traitors lost.

@Sjacks26 I was just talking about how we don’t celebrate the end of WW1 either (bye Armistice Day…hello Veterans Day, which feels too generic for me).
