You guys know if you’d just let the Confederacy split off it’d just have been some backwater colonial state with oil money and little else right?

I mean restoring the names of traitors is pretty on point for a fucking traitor.
and not even a traitor who is able bodied to fight, just some agitator hiding in his villain mar-a-lairgo
He’s on a never ending quest to out-cunt himself. He takes it very seriously.
I haven't even seen him accidentally do something decent since he got back in office. It's truly impressive.
The musk thing is quite amusing, I gotta admit
But hardly decent by any definition of the word.
Gosh, now I wonder why he would want to do that?
I mean, the cons are always so quick to complain when someone points out their long history of racism and things like the Southern Strategy.
Who is this for, then, if not for the racists in his own party?
Left hand: Protesters waving Mexican flags in the US are unpatriotic or traitors.
Right hand: The names of the soldiers of the traitorous racist confederacy should be forever remembered and boosted above real Amercan soldiers and real American figures of good repute, plastered across our military bases, schools, and town squares. We should all romanticize these men who killed American soldiers in the defense of the institution of slavery.
The Confederacy and its people were an enemy foreign state. It wasn't like a little club the South had for a few years. They split from the USA. They were defectors, traitors, enemies of the USA.
Not surprised Donny would do this, though. He dismissed the insurrection on Jan 6th, which was a group of defectors, traitors, and enemies of the USA. He's a 34-time felon, which means he has a history of being against the US, its citizens, and their interests.
It's like he's compelled to be on the moral wrong side of absolutely everything. Reminder: the Confederacy wanted to secede so they could continue owning and abusing black people for profit. What a garbage person Trump is...
There has to be some kind of psychological term for this. Conservatives are obsessed with triggering the libs, it's like they live in a perpetual state of wanting to be an asshole.
I will resist them, but honestly I can't imagine living with that much hatred inside me...

Why do we want to keep them named after people who literally fought against the US?
Racist dogwhistling
But don't call them racists? Or so all the "moderate" Tone Police keep telling me, along with the racist cons themselves...calling them what they are is so mean.
It’s about pissing off the libs.
He’s so proud of those losers.
Yeah, what happened to not liking troops that lose?
Loser restoring losers, seems about right.
Traitor restoring traitors.
Traitors love traitors, nothing new to see here.
Trump should just grow a Hitler mustache at this point
It's the hair. I've seen more than a couple vinyl stickers of Punisher skulls with the hairpiece...
Maybe name a base after him.

What's next, is he going to name a skyscraper after Bin Laden?
He was a cool guy, a very nice guy. He really stood up for his beliefs, which is something that me and him have in common, liberals don't like us.
Bin Laden was a hero, he made sure I had the biggest tower in Manhattan. /DJT

We need a Fort Sherman.
They should rename the state of Georgia in honor of Sherman.
Makes sense that a failure would want to name things after failures.
Why do this? Because he believes the liberals are going to freak out about this and forget about rioting.
He definitely doesn't want the rioting to end, he is actively trying to make it bigger. What he wants to people forgetting is that Musk repeated that Trump is in the Epstein flight logs.
Because a majority of his people don’t care about the racism or approve of it.
It’s a populist move in the USA.
And to embolden his fan base. It's a win-win for him.

The Traitor and chief.
hell yeah participation trophies
What will this accomplish? They renamed the Sears Tower and nobody got on board. Sears went bankrupt and they still own the name of that skyscraper. This just seems like today's flavor of wet fart.
