  But opponents swore that Stonewall Jackson would be revived. And on Friday, he was. “When you read about this man — who he was, what he stood for, his character, his loyalty, his leadership, how Godly a man he was — those standards that he had were much higher than any leadership of the school system in 2020,” said Tom Streett…

  What he, and the confederacy, stood for was slavery. Fuck you and the supposed God you think is okay with slavery, Tom Streett.

    Another spasm of white revisionist history… hopefully this will be repealed with more urgency than the first round. I cannot believe people stood aside and let these lost cause dipshits rewrite history but here we are.

  It’s hard not to sit in a blue state and just be apathetic to the shit in the south. They continually make their own living conditions worse and worse and I just don’t care anymore. Slide further into poverty, ruin your educational systems, willfully worsen the health of your population. Eventually blue states will stop sending you money and what are you going to do? You’ll have no people, no knowledge and no way out.

  I feel bad for those without the privilege to escape but am seriously out of fucks to give about them repeatedly self harming

    Virginia has a Democratic majority (though just a majority) at this point. There are parts of the state which don’t, and this is one of them.
