Storming the capital, chanting 1776 while carrying confederate flags.

It was obvious to me their were no historians among the Trump voters who stormed the capital. Them chanting 1776 while carrying confederate flags was very confusing for me. I had to think about it for awhile.

1776, revolution. Confederate flag, treason. Treasonous revolution. The dumb fucks described themselves perfectly and didn't even know it.

been shouting "1861." Or, should have carried the 13 star flag if they wanted to stick to 1776.

But why did they choose a losers' flag anyway? I mean, not only were the Confederates traitors, but they were losers. These people really worship losers, from their orange leader down to the flag they carry.

There a whole lot of them, they’re dangerous and they vote.

I’m no fan of stupidity, but it ought to be the least of our concerns in regards to them.

States rights, federal gov't oppression, blah, blah, nothing to do with slavery, blah, blah, blah.

So today we see secessionist movements and threats about civil war...wash rinse repeat.
