Guys, if you gonna do this civil war thing again, this time finish the job and make sure that those southern traitors never fuck with your country again. It's bad for my blood pressure seeing how those nazi fucks believe they have a right to exist.

As an Ohioan, anything outside of the major metros is basically the south.

This is the biggest misconception about the South. Not just Ohio, anywhere you go ~30 minutes outside of any metro area and you hit "the South." Even in Canada, these days.

I will never get over the absurdity of seeing a Confederate flag on a house in Ohio.

I saw one in West Virginia when I was back visiting my mother several years ago. My head almost spun 360 degrees, Exorcist style.

We’re the quintessential north and we best not let our statesfolk forget it. The traitors rag defiles our state of freedom. But yes it defiles a large portion of our rural areas.

What does finishing the job look like?

Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes, just a non American asking a genuine question.

What should have happened after the first civil war, occupation of their lands and dismantling of their elected officials. No one who supported the traitors would ever be allowed in government again.

Right? Education, healthcare, equality. Give them what they fear most.

Like actually putting the Confederate leadership on trial with consequences such as jail or hanging for treason as Repubs suggest. Nuremburg Trial stuff instead of this garbage.
