Keep in mind that some Americans still proudly fly the Confederate flag.

  The first and second Reconstruction eras didn't go far enough.

  The irony about that is that a lot of the Confederate flag-flyers (ironically enough, overlapping with the Don't Tread on Me crowd) seriously hate the government. The administration's kept them on side with culture wars red meat so far... But the further ICE / police militarization goes, the more awkward the situation with right-wing militia types is going to get.

    They hate the "government" which is an abstract evil entity. They love Trump, the police, and ICE. MAGA was chanting "president of peace" only a few months ago, and did anyone complain about Venezuela? Not a peep. They thrive on logical contradictions.

      It really is bizarre to behold when you share some of their supposed values.

        They don't have values, that's just you projecting part of yourself on them. They have a tribe, and anything they say is in support of that tribe.

        But are they in support of Maduro, or against a foreign-backed coup? I don't think it's the same, is it.

          You can never correct the willfully ignorant.
