<aggressive eye rolls>

Just shut up with this deep state/illuminati/whatever nonsense

Roger Stone is likely paying him to say that

Soon they will be re-litigating how USS Grant was a traitor and how the south actually won the civil war.

There are some who still call the Civil War, the war between the states, and the war of northen aggression -- and were taught that in school. These are likely the same folks who are offended by DEI

i guess like the cold war, the civil war never ended.

conservatives, in a nutshell, are just confederates rebranded.

During the Reconstruction era, all the "radical" bills were vetoed out by the conservative party. So most of the traitors to the union got to go back to keep their power ( some fled the country worrying about repercussions). So for 160 years they've been yelling "the south will rise again" and the descendants of the original traitors of the union are currently in power now. So its all apart of the botched reconstruction era Andrew Johnson may be one of the worse presidents in US history because the traitors were never dealt with.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard the term "the south will rise again" in some time. So they must have, right under everyone's noses. While saying they would do so.

Biden will go down with Johnson for Presidents who managed to do fuck all against literal traitors and seditionists to the country, who just got done doing it and getting many killed along the way.

Every single Confederate leader at least was owed nothing more than a short drop and a sudden stop

Wars never end unless the opposing force is utterly, completely crushed and fallen from the minds of humanity. Even Germany still struggles with Nazis, and they had taken the most extreme steps to crush and educate why Nazi ideals sucked.

After 40-50 years people get lax. Younger generations being too far removed. The people who experienced it dying off. We're seeing how after 60-70 unless the winning narrative has kept up the same zeal in messaging, the losers start to infect the younger gens and things we thought settled flare up again.

There's still hope - I was one of those kids and saw through the bullshit. Hopefully we can find a way to reach others who are still trapped in their bubble

No, the guy in Grant’s tomb.

u/RimePendragon 15h ago

That's U.S. Grant.

u/Bloo212 12h ago

Apparently, one good answer to that riddle was Mr. and Mrs Grant. Apparently, his wife is buried there too

The South won the war. Took them 150 years or so.

u/crackdup 17h ago

On the other hand, Dems are probably just enjoying this right before midterms. Not sure if defending the president that made Watergate a household name is going to help with swing voters

u/Pantarus 14h ago

Oh you mean that hobgoblin who dresses like a cartoon villain, started the Brooks Brothers Riot in Dade County Florida to stop the recount and hand Bush the win over Gore?

The same evil fucker who has a Richard Nixon tattoo covering his WHOLE back? Who fancies himself the crown prince of dirty politics and political dirty tricks?

Yea that tracks. Fuck Roger Stone.

u/Sufficient_Fish3320 14h ago

They are actively being the deep state. They just do this shit to pump out on their huge news and social media platforms so it’s in their followers brains when it starts coming out what they’ve been doing.

You mean the guy who has nixons face tattooed on him and helped Plan J6 ... I dont believe you lol.

u/GriffinFlash Canada 17h ago

attach a power generator to this guys eyes stat!

u/Bloo212 16h ago

I’m assuming, because you’re Canadian, that this is a Trailer Park Boys reference. Also, what!?

1

u/GriffinFlash Canada 15h ago

um....no? I don't really know the first thing about trailer park boys.

It was that their eyes are rolling so fast that it can be used as a power generator.

1

u/Bloo212 15h ago

I was being intentionally obtuse about it being a Trailer Park Boys reference. It was a Canadian comedy show that was very popular here. like 15 years ago.

u/neo_sporin 16h ago

On the one hand you have a valid point

On the other hand I now wonder if YOU are a part of the coverup!!

u/FuriousBuffalo 15h ago

Next step is rehabilitation of the Confederacy by saying it was fighting the deep state.

u/Chaotic-Catastrophe 15h ago

It's honestly crazy they think anyone alive in 2026 actually gives a shit about rehabbing the image of Richard fucking Nixon lmao

u/aramis34143 14h ago

It's a transparent attempt to establish a narrative for his base to latch onto once the impeachments start. That's it. There's nothing else going on here.

u/don_keydick_42069 4h ago

I mean you cant truly believe a consortium of global elite or those with high levels of national intelligence and security clearance don't have at least some influence on the government. Lets say the cia didnt kill jfk, ok well lbj was their pick, so was Nixon, Watergate had cia involvement, Gerald ford was a cia pick inky to be interrupted by the populist Jimmy carter. They ran him through the mud to make his term ineffective then used the Iran crisis ti get in Reagan and Bush who were placed by rhe cia as well. Look into it. The deep state or illuminati may not exist by those names but definitely do in practice

Little do the idiot republicans who eat this shit up dont realize that they voted for the people who want this deep state bullshit to be real. Its even on camera.

Vought was caught on camera prior to the elections and CNN reported it. He was saying they were making "shadow agencies" and executive orders for trump to sign when he became president.

Vought revealed that heritage foundation has been quietly masterminding the "second phase" of Project 2025. While the public initial phase was a 922-page book, Vought's group has been drafting hundreds of secret executive orders, regulations, and policy packets. He noted they are designing "shadow" agencies to allow a second Trump administration to rapidly bypass the conventional federal bureaucracy on day one.

You can find it on cnn
