The #Republican #GrandOldParty is the New #Confederacy.

This is what happens when a nation allows those who commit #treason and start a #CivilWar to resume their #military and #political careers without any punishment or consequences for their actions when they're defeated.

It's taken longer than they'd hoped, but January 6, 2021 was the modern version of their ancestor's attack on #FortSumter, April 12, 1861, 160 years earlier.

#Jan6 #GOP

Have #RedFlagOverParis on the table for the first time in quite a while. Again am struck by what a fabulous design enhancement @fredserval made to #FortSumter. Very good stuff.

As far as I can see, the US Civil War continues. Young, Black legislators are expelled from a state legislature. Missouri votes to defund public libraries. People continue to support oligarchy over democracy.

162 years ago today, in the opening salvo of the #CivilWar, South Carolina militia fired upon the Union-held #FortSumter, located on an island in #Charleston's harbor. The rebel shore batteries bombarded Major Robert Anderson's federal troops for 34 hours before the fort was evacuated.

The #CivilWar was started by slave-holders attacking #FortSumter in #SouthCarolina , now represented in the Senate by #UncleTimScott and this ⬇️ #SobbingMAGA 💦 begging on #FoxNews for money 💵 to help #DonaldTheDeplorable defend himself after being indicted for felonies that Trump himself directed HIS #JusticeDepartment to convict and jail #MichaelCohen for doing on #MangoMussolini ‘s behalf!
