You're a fucking moron if you think the Democrats and Republicans today are the same as they were in the 20's and before. Do you really think Lincoln or FDR would be a Republican today?

Let's all agree that no matter the party, there are morons on either side.

Thank you so much!

Well, in all seriousness I have read this stuff before....but the biggest reason for the Civil War was due to the possible prohibition of slavery in the Southern States.... I won't deny States rights played a part in the secession however it was mostly due to the difference in opinions between the North and the South on slavery.
*grabs popcorn*
I look forward to the debate of what started the civil war: states rights or slavery?
(Hint: it was a mix of the two)

You mean Eisenhower right? But I totally get what you mean!

We all know that! But thank you. Your comment was funny. I laughed. It's not sarcasm! Just to make sure.

Yes, and I'll tell you why. Back in the days of Lincoln or FDR liberalism wasn't crying about equal rights for your penis-clit. End of story. Lincoln or FDR wouldn't even know wtf was happening. It would be absolute culture shock to the severity of instant death from brain melting.
Also, FDR was a democrat.

Then leave. Go to Canada, go wherever. Leave.
Few movements in the US since WWII have been as repugnant as neo-Nazi's, but as long as they're standing in a space where they've petitioned for the right to express their right to free speech, they should be allowed to do so. They should also be filmed, and their identities as racist morons publicized far and wide. But your hypocritical willingness to use violence against that expression of speech says it all.

Ummm well it seems you might not like transgender people....to be fair black people and white people mingling together would have been an extreme culture shock for most of the presidents. the miscegenation alone would have probably made most of them vomit. So lets not really use our past presidents as leaders of morality.
(Lobs opinion into heavy discussion)
Both sides were at fault here. You had triggered antifas on one side and you had violent racists on the other side. Both were toxic in this event.
With that being said.... Antifas, piss off and move to California. Racists, piss off altogether.
Being from the south, I would like the statue to remain up. Robert E Lee was not a bad man. His biggest fault was that he fought for the wrong side. He never owned slaves and he was one of the biggest helpers when it came to reuniting the country after the war. Now while it does not excuse him fighting for the wrong side, what that statue means to me is a man seeking to reunite the two factions after a horrible war. The racists don't understand that, and the antifas don't understand that either.
The world is becoming more and more polirized, which is why we see these two groups often now. But not everyone is like them. I just hope that from these events, people will be more willing to listen to the other side instead of shutting it out. Now while i may be a
conservative, i think it is crucially important to listen to the other side and form your own opinion. I love discussion and friendly debates if some of you have may have heard from me before. Discussion is key. But for this situation..... You can't change people. People have to change themselves. You can't change a racist and you can't change an antifa... The most you can do, is use your freedom of speech and talk to them and share how you feel in a respectful way.
If they get violent though, gouge their eyes out.

Agreed, it's pointless. I mean, if Kennedy were alive today, he'd probably choose to be a Republican. And it wouldn't have anything to do with race, civil rights movement, etc. Kennedy was as hardcore anti-Commie as any American in those days, and the Democratic party's platform of today is waaaaay heavy on the socialism. LBJ's welfare state has turned into a monster, with 52% of the country on some kind of federal benefits. JFK would probably have a stroke just hearing that. And Antifa, since that's more relevant to this discussion, is blatantly communist.

Is a problem though Antifa being pro-communism? I mean I might not like or even agree with something but if Neo Nazis can voice their opinions why not communists? Lets be honest though ALMOST everyone loves some form of socialism.
I have zero problems with transgender. I have every problem with crybabies.

How did i miss that....................
Yes, you are right. Both sides are racist. It just escaped my mind while writing that rant. haha
lol it's unreal how if you think that anyone other than the white nationalists are at fault you're a racist.
What amazes me most is that they are painting everyone at that rally to be a hateful white nationalist. They refuse to believe that no one there was only there to try to stop the removal of a historical monument.

I have gathered quite a bit of information from that incident, and i got to say, i was bamboozled.
From what i've seen, a good portion of people at that ralley were racists/kkk/ect. The flyers and signs and what not were distributed by white nationalist groups.
But that raises a question, how did your average Joe come to the idea that it was a just a friendly southern pride protest and how many of the people were just normal people.
If i were to take a guess. I would say about 50/50.
Then there is the antifa side...... mostly just cancer.
I have no doubt it was mostly white nationalists. Knowing people, I have no doubt that it ended up exactly how both sides wanted it to, violence.
Fox News is as guilty as the rest. Someone sent me a video of the car being struck by an object before he hit people, trying to justify the attack. No thanks I'm not buying what they're selling on either side.

Ya, its all a mess. The sad thing is, that this incident just polarizes people more. I honestly don't know what to do. The most i can do is talk to people and be civil and hope they are civil too.
But if they are not, then it will get messy. Part of me hopes it does as to teach a lesson. But i'm from the south, there are not to many crazy people where i live.
