It’s Not Secession, Just a Divorce.

The proof that I don’t have a goddamn thing to do today except get over last night’s stomach virus is given by the fact that I actually spent some time thinking about MJT’s call for a ‘national divorce,’ because if the red and blue states don’t figure out a way to separate from each other peacefully, the current arguments about Woke culture will drag us into another civil war.

What surprises me in all this talk about another civil war is that none of the conspiracy theorists who conjure up their nonsense for consumption by the alt-right have yet to come out with a spiel about how the South really won the conflict which ended in 1865.

Let’s see — Lee didn’t surrender to Grant at Appomattox, he just dropped by for a friendly chat. And Booth didn’t shoot Lincoln, they just happened to be at Ford’s Theater at the same time.

We have all kinds of pictures of the courthouse at Appomattox like the one above, but there’s no actual photo of Lee at the site, just a bunch of what we call an artist’s ‘rendering’ of the event. Ditto Booth yelling ‘Sic Semper Tyrannus’ as he broke his leg dropping onto the theater’s stage.

And of course, when it comes to conspiracies, MTG is one of the better promoters of that crap, even if she didn’t realize that the Rothschilds were a bunch of Jews.
