Fine, No that is not accurate. There is no secret aristocratic plot to restore the Confederacy. In other news, the Illuminati isn't real, and 9/11 was indeed perpetrated by muslim extremists. Oswald did kill Kennedy, and there's no such thing as chemtrails.

Yeah, it's not a secret plot, it's a plot people are so open about that they have bumper stickers proclaiming that the South will rise again.

The GOP had the TeaParty to buy into the Secret Muslim/Birther hysteria. The Justice Democrats aren't big enough for "Trump is trying to return us to Slavery" hysteria, to give the Dems the boost.

Dude I'm from North Carolina, I know the types, the famous "War of Northern Aggression," State Rights, General Lee, Rebel Yell, Duke Boys are the greatest, spoutin hicks. But you'd be remiss to think that equates to a serious desire to not only restore the Confederate States of America, but restore it to an agrarian slave backed economy where minorities will be rounded up and forced to pick cotton and tobacco on plantations.

But calling them hillbillies and hicks is supposed to be the kind of urban liberal arrogance that drove them to Trump in the first place.

The two are inseparable. Recall on what ideals the cornerstone of the Confederacy rests. Without their "peculiar institution" it wouldn't be the Confederacy. You may as well talk about restoring the Holy Roman Empire but without Christianity, or reviving the Soviet Union but with laissez faire capitalism.

But dear me, I'm talking about the Confederacy in the Trump thread. How positively irrelevant. Has the President been tweeting anything exciting today?

Well, yesterday he said he defended Biden to Kim Jong Un by only calling him a "low iq individual" in response to Kim calling him a "low iq idiot".

Trump wrote:I was actually sticking up for Sleepy Joe Biden while on foreign soil. Kim Jong Un called him a “low IQ idiot,” and many other things, whereas I related the quote of Chairman Kim as a much softer “low IQ individual.” Who could possibly be upset with that?

What an upstanding guy Trump is, defending Joe Biden by only repeating the real insult Kim said about him after people got mad at him repeating a paraphrased insult. While also insulting Biden. And really, "Sleepy Joe Biden"? That's bad even for Trump.
