I don’t think it’s a coincidence that conservatives identify with the Confederacy and Nazis, both initial aggressors and both losers and both morally indefensible. But human history is the history of scum rising to rule through violence.

Though the reason may be Thomas's feelings on the confederates after the War:

[T]he greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains; a species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and property—justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and people—was not exacted from them.

— George Henry Thomas, November 1868.

That is changing. Several schools have already changed their names from Robert E. Lee to something else, or J.E.B. Stuart to something else, much to the wailing of the redneck brigade (UR ERASIN MAH HISTORUH!!!!). There have been protests and calls from people to take down the monuments to confederate soldiers on Monument Avenue in Richmond. Of course, any neo-nazi wingnut has taken that as an opportunity to protest against the snowflake libs, leading to near violence at said monuments. Many in Virginia want to change. But until the old racist guard is eradicated, it will be complicated. And I doubt that will ever happen.

 

She's not good at social media, and he's not very good at speaking.

 

Right, it’s totally forgivable that she’s not there and I understanding. I just thought it was fascinating that she never attended a single address given by Bush and missed Trump’s last year as well. She attended 15 of 16 opportunities to hear a Democratic SOTU Address though. To me that kind of just screams partisanship.

 

Pence just has that classic stoic expression. That’s just his face,

When it comes to socialism, Krugman is no Rainman.

 

WTF are you talking about? That’s not classic and stoic, that’s the face of a man in fear of everything. Scared and vacant. That’s the face of a person who lacks a soul.
