    This is why it’s important people understand the details of the civil war.

    What lead to it wasn’t just “slavery” it’s that the South wanted the federal government to go into Northern states and bring back anyone that was suspected of being an escaped slave back to the South. Basically they wanted federal law enforcement to go on slave raids.

    They won’t be happy with shitty laws in their own states, they want to force everyone else to follow them.

    And this time the SC is on their side, and if we won’t fix that, we need to be ready for the bullshit they’ll keep pulling.

    As an intellectual exercise, what do you suppose are the chances that Vance is a nazi? I don’t mean ‘nazi’ in a rhetorical sense, and I don’t mean ‘nazi’ in the sense that his worldview and ideologies overlap with those of nazis. I mean, what are the chances that he’s actually in his basement with a brown shirt, seig heil-ing from time to time? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as his civic actions support that cause anyway. But I wonder this each time I hear yet another awful detail about this loser. I peg it at about 10%, low but definitely above zero.

      He’s definitely one of those guys that’s says he collects WWII memorabilia, when what he means is he has a basement full of Nazi flags

    Quiet Part out loud, if there’s one thing they hate more than the threat that women can say no to staying in abusive relationships, it’s that they can run away to escape abuse if they can’t take their safety at home.
