That's it. Most are decent, hardworking, honest people ..

"Think about it. SIX-TENTHS OF ONE PERCENT of the South were slaveholders while 75 percent of white southerners lived in DEEP poverty.

Yet, much like the Capitol rioters who were prepared to die on January 6, for a grifting con-man who'd never known hunger or had to go without, who (according to some Capitol rioters) USED them, and who even now, in the face of serious charges, is STILL siphoning and pocketing campaign contributions,

110,000 poor "sons of the Confederacy" died on the battlefield (and by some estimates, many more from associated causes) to preserve the wealth of a few slaveholders, killing an estimated 94,000 fellow Americans in pursuit of their "cause."

They were USED by the powers that were. Because, like now, all that was needed was for someone to stoke their hatred for some "other."

Fortunately however, OTHER Americans rose to the challenge - whether to defend Democracy, preserve the Union, or fight for a NOBLER cause. And now, at this point in our country's history, is up to US to rise up for an equally noble cause.
"

2020 was important. 2024 even more. Fact beats fake.
