Even better, it allowed for a political dynasty to come from it anyways. Prescott Bush, the father of George H. W Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, was one of the parties involved with the Business Plot, and the Bushes seemed to do a fine job carrying on his legacy.
Stop making me sad sir! I see you reciting facts, and putting reality on full display. This only means that it doesn’t matter what we do, fascism will always be a lurking and sometimes more than lurking threat. Even if you stop it’s current plans, it’s always there, unpunished, ready to rear it’s ugly head in future generations.
No, it means next time the world goes to war with fascists, they need to finish the job. All their hate and evil is a thought virus, a meme. And the only way to kill a virus like this is to eradicate its hosts. Society and media have not been able to properly vaccinate us
If we had executed all of the traitors after the Civl War, instead of letting them return to their basically untouched power structures, we wouldn’t be in this situation.
There were no consequences for taking up arms against the United States a century and a half ago - why would there be consequences for something like a coup?
This whole mentality of forgiving treason so the country can move forward is a nice get out of jail free card for the rich assholes that keep getting us all killed.

STOP MAKING ME SAD, SIR!!!

This is utterly wrong. Fascism is not a meme. Fascism isn’t spreading throughout the Western world like a mind virus.
Fascism is the predictable result of the last 40 years of grinding neoliberalism. It is capitalism in decay.
Fascism is not a grassroots movement. It’s a false revolution, funded by the capitalist class, which leaves the capitalist class in power.
People aren’t born racists, supremisits, and bigots. Those ideas are taught.
And for the last 15+ years there’s been an enormous internet meme campaign pipelining people towards this belief. It did not come about naturally
Wow. This makes so much sense.
Should’ve been executed tbh.
We’d have a much better country if they’d done that, no doubt.

The Elite of the Confederacy should have been hanged and their property distributed to former enslaved people and poor free men.
Fair point.
