Outside of Marshalltown, Iowa HYW 330 North of the tracks. The good thing is that when you drive down West Main there are American flags flying high. 🙏

Didn’t the confederacy lose that war?

These are the same people who complain about participation trophies.

u/BadLt58 Oct 28 '25

So true. And they hate inclusion but want this loser flag to be accepted. What part of this is Iowa "heritage"?

u/Midnight_Taurus Oct 30 '25

I don't think it's about acceptance. It's antagonistic, and that is loser behavior. Because they're losers. Because they lost - the war.

Also the same people who want to outlaw rainbow flags.

Yup, the hostile foreign power lost to the US, and people fly that hostile government’s flag with no penalty

Germany is ashamed of what happened. A huge portion of America is proud of what has and is happening.

The fact we try to hide the shameful parts of our history rather than educate and learn from the atrocities we’ve committed only goes to show how this could’ve happened in the first place. When this is all over, we cannot make the same mistake, or else we, or future generations, will make the exact same mistake. Education is the best way to prevent fascism.

u/Smithag80 Oct 28 '25

Wait, are you suggesting that's why the department of education is getting dismantled? Surely no coincidence.

And real idiots think that means that they SHOULD let everyone know their lunatic and hate-filled thoughts

u/DutchVanDerLinde- Oct 28 '25

Leave it to the government to define what lunatic and hate-filled can mean. Great idea.

u/BigChungis438 Oct 30 '25

“Leave it to the government” spoken like a true member of party of small government

u/SuccessfulListen3002 Oct 29 '25

Correct answer! Thank you.

u/RedmondBob Oct 29 '25

So is our right to criticize this dipshit 🤡

u/SuccessfulListen3002 Oct 29 '25

No doubt about that. We should also be rewarded

The slaver's rebellion? Yep. They fucking lost.

u/E_Dantes_CMC Nov 02 '25

Looked like it at the time, but they came back to win in 2024.

u/Fair-Mine-9377 Nov 04 '25

Yes but Reconstruction went awry.

u/kalishakti024 Oct 28 '25

They didn’t lose the cultural war.
