Trump Praises General Lee in Minnesota

[Santander]

I wish I was in the land of cotton...

Why would you say this in Minnesota? People there don't give a crap about Confederate statues.

Northern states are full of hicks who proudly display Confederate flags despite their own ancestors were shot by people brandishing those flags.  Trump rallies are where you are as bound to find those morons as anywhere.

Sure, but they don't really give a damn about Robert E Lee or Southern heritage, either.

Robert E. Lee deserves to have his own statues because he was "beating Lincoln a lot" and "almost" won the war?

WTF??

I guess the GOP has completed its journey from being the party of Lincoln to being the anti-Lincoln party.

You can make the same case for building Hitler monuments all over Europe too. He was "beating the allies a lot".

And just like the Confederacy, he came in second.  Should be worth at least a silver medal, right?

Better silver than bronz.

Rural Southern IN, IL and OH are called butternut country, they used to be a long time Dem stronghold. There are probably lots of Confederate flags flying around the area. Take

Yeah, one of them used to be me.
