"Confederates weren't just vicious racists and traitors, they were also losers."

Confederates weren’t just vicious racists and traitors, they were also losers. They lost a single election and quit the country, then lost the war and pretended to surrender so they could try terrorism instead. Losers and cowards.

Oh and they also conspired to assassinate the president, Secretary of State, Grant, and the Secretary of War. Succeeded by shooting Lincoln in the back of the head. Stabbed Seward while he slept and was injured already. Scurried away from Stanton. Chickened out on Grant.

Their campaign of terror included assassinating thousands of freed blacks who they worked assiduously to disarm. The KKK was a gun control group. Again, because they were afraid to fight fair; they preferred their enemies unarmed.

Through a campaign of violence & voter intimidation, which included many, many murders of black & white elected officials, they made it costly to continue keeping federal troops in the south. When the Panic if 1873 was met with austerity, it plunged the country into a depression.

Democrats swept the 74 midterms and 2 years later the presidential election was deadlocked and Democrats gave it to Republicans in exchange for ending Reconstruction. Now with troops gone, those chickenshit cowards could unleash even more violence on the black population.

3. Both the Confederate Flag and the Nazi Flag

are symbols of losers.

And yet these folks around the country have embraced them, thinking it makes them look tough.

No. It just makes them losers.

4. ARE

They ARE losers. Racist traitors too. Unfortunately they never completely went away.

5. Grant was an original target of the plot

but he left DC that night with his wife to visit their children. The Vice President was also a target, by George Atzerodt lost his nerve, got drunk, and never made an attempt on Johnson.

6. Grim is right, however, it is laughable when he talks about the behavior of "losers", since he was

right up there undermining Hillary in the 2016 general election

Grim hopes people don’t remember what he and the despicable Intercept did to Hillary in 2016

and he is still up to his old tricks this time dissing Amy McGrath, and the Democratic nominee fro President Joe Biden.

He might have some credibility if he came apologized for what he did in 2016 to Hillary, but not surprisingly none of them have done so, or even expressed regret

7. LOSERS AND COWARDS

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
