I’ve also lived in the south and I’ve seen the pro-confederacy movement get stronger as I grew older, so I don’t agree that it’s on its last breath… but I really do hope I’m wrong.
The pro Confederacy movement has been alive and well since the Confederacy f****** died. they killed Martin Luther King. it hasn’t gone away. none of them are punished. racism is alive and well in America. it’s all f****** propagated by these disgusting billionaire leaches like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump.

Oh very much.
What’s saddening is when I say I’ve seen it grow stronger as I grew older is I remember as a kid hearing “The south will rise again” with complete seriousness.
I’m up in Idaho and while we’ve always had white nationalists, the past couple of decades it’s become a haven for the ones fleeing blue states. One tried to unseat our old school Republican type governor this week and though he lost, he still got 30% of the vote. He’s a real estate agent and specifically markets “move to Idaho if you’re white”, there’s a lot of them here now that make racism the goal. Some of our rural towns have become white nationalist enclaves. Boise is the one city they can’t flip and they caravan in from the boonies to roll coal and harass us any time we have a protest. One of our DFP rallies was about 100 of us protesting and several hundred counter protesting, many of them armed. Neonazi bikers, excon white boys covered in Swazis, boogaloos, and the cops stood with them. The cops watched one point an AR at us and simulate shooting us; nothing happened. In the 90s they’d crawl out of their compound and have a parade once a year, now they behave worse every day in public.
I think that it’s been really galvanized the last couple of decades. People forget the money and power structures here are largely dynastic and have been for a while.
I hope he’s right.

I guess it’s what works.
