What are your thoughts on the Gadsden flag being used as a substitute for the rebel flag?

I've seen this theory a few places but haven't really dug into. Not sure if it is just the usual "fear porn" or something more legit. But have pretty much stopped wearing anything with it on the apparel an I don't want to be associated with Trump, ever.

I didn't think about it until I saw it on license plates here in Florida and was thinking about other flags that got removed from license plates.

Pensacola is considered the city of five flags meaning there have been five flags governing the city. Spain, France, The UK, The US and The Confederacy. They pulled the logo showing the five flags off the police badges and city seal.

Flags, statues, names of military bases... I mean if your team thinks these are wins and makes a difference, Congrats?

Rarely do inanimate objects offend me. Plus, the Stars & Bars looks way cooler than the Gadsden ... this is just poor marketing by the "rebellion".

It just takes me back to how a lot of this is people still arguing about the civil war.

Fairly certain the issue was resolved ~160 years ago, no? Or are we talking about 2.0?

I think all the talk about 2.0 comes from there.

I won't connect all the dots for you because at the end of the day it's really just the root basis for the argument for this or that policy rather than looking at it on its face.

Like how there was no call to abolish the Federal Department of Education until the schools were desegregated. You may take a different approach because you don't want transsexual story time or some form statist indoctrination, but you absolutely have common cause with the neoconfederates who despise the economic, cultural, and academic elite with all their science and art.

I don't know about the "abolish the Dept of Education" being a new rallying cry. Seems like a pretty basic Librarian view. I mean, wasn't the US #1 in education up until 1976? When was the DoE created? I am sure it is just a coincidence.

Neo-Confederates? I am assuming this is just your term for every white person ever?

No, it's a thing. When you do all this reading about fascism and white supremacy the gears start turning.

When LBJ signed the civil rights act he said "We have lost the south for a generation." for this reason.
