As cliche as it sounds, slow and steady win the race.
The modern problem has always been our arrogance with these assholes. We treat them as stupid, when in reality they are not actually stupid, and then we get all shocked pikachu when they sucker punch us with some obvious bullshit because we weren’t looking.
And yes, they do and say stupid things all the time. But don’t let your hubris conflate that with their ability to out maneuver and manipulate us. That counts as intelligence.
The confederate statues weren't of the low-level soldiers who actually did the fighting. They were of generals and presidents and shit. Shitty people have already made shitty statues of Trump, so we're already there.
I don't know why this has to keep getting said, but the people who say that shit love what is happening right now.
Even if that wasn't true, what would you have them do? Jan 6 again but with bullets? Attacking their neighbors? Just indiscriminate blasting? What's that going to solve?

The former confederates didn't regain power this quickly, though. I guess they spent a century and a half learning to game the system.

Um no why would you use this when you have thousands of better examples like obama letting off both wall street and iraq war torturers for example.

OP posting this meme on the internet instead of going out and hunting and eating Conservative voters is part of the problem.

You know that you can also buy guns too, not just rely on Republican fascists to fight tyranny.
