Defense of the Confederacy is most definitely not patriotic. Southern patriotism, such as it is, is found inasmuch as conservatism tracks more highly with pride in being American than liberalism does. Southerners are also overrepresented in the military. But then they were in the 1850s too. It didn't stop them from waging war against the United States just a few years later. Literally treason defined constitutionally.

So suffice it to say Southerners have a bit of cognitive dissonance on the issue of patriotism. Secessionist sentiment runs higher there than in the Northeast as well.

Mine is just one opinion of course just as yours is. But rebel apologists can get fucked for all I care if we're being completely frank.

Defense of Democrats is racist. Because, y'know, they were the supporters and party of the KKK. See how your logic is flawed? Things change after 150 years.

You obviously have some major issue with Southerners. I don't know what it is, but I can guarantee you that your perception of Southerners is wrong, as it sounds EXACTLY like the fucks in the PNW who never stepped outside of their precious three states yet magically know all about the South.

Hilarious coming from you. And no, most Southerners nowadays actually like the USA. The states with the highest secessionist sentiment are the PNW. Californians LITERALLY tried getting a secessionist bill put forth to be voted on by the population. Washington LITERALLY made memes, social media groups, and a majority of Seatltites openly declared that if California seceded, they'd secede too. Look up Cascadia.

The fact that you honestly think the South has the largest secessionist sentiment EVEN WHEN other states are actively and seriously considering seceding.. proves how fucking ignorant you are on the entirety of Southern culture and modern USA culture/politics.

Cool. Those KKK Democrats can get fucked for all I care if we're being completely frank.

I said secessionist sentiment in the South surpasses that in the Northeast. I said nothing about California or the PNW. You might actually try addressing what I say rather than what you wish I'd said.

And I don't have a problem with Southerners. I dislike the Confederacy as a historical matter though and modern secessionist sentiment that is inspired by it. A lot of Southerners get stupidly sucked into defending that nonsense out of pride or for ancestral or sentimental reasons, but no, I've no beef with the South as such.
