"Guns of the South" - Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia is supplied with AK-47s by time-travelling white supremacist members of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging from an imagined 21st-century South Africa, resulting in a Confederate victory in the American Civil War. Probably the type stuff Steve Bannon reads little Trumpie before he tucks him in at night, with his little Russian Putie Bear next to him on his Cheeto-proof pillow. Sad.
