It looks like it's about to get a whole lot worse. First their statues got taken down and now their flag. Oh well I am sure their dear leader will have some encouraging words of inspiration to lift their spirits.

And say how the flag is respected by many fine people all over the country and how this is an attack on liberty and blah blah blah... Just imagine the imagery of tRump unfurling the Confederate Flag on stage. I wonder if he would have the balls to do it. It would be the final piece of symbolism of his Presidency and his followers.

It puts a smile on my face, mostly because i don't really give a damn about NASCAR. I just know many of my fellow Southerners are mad as hell right now, and I am sure that they are looking to tRump to make things better. I don't like sweat tea but I will toast you a Sam Adams.

"non athletic sport centered around rednecks"

But what do I know except, "Turn LEFT!"
