The South Has Won. For Now.

I see an opportunity here, in this cage match shit and the July 4th festivities. A chance for America to own what's going on. To rename and rededicate ourselves to the causes that defined us from the beginning. 

We were never one country. Many concessions were made to get the southern, slave states on board. Our founding documents were idealistic but they allowed the south to have its shithole. To be degenerates. 

So it was a compromise. Then a war was fought to free the slaves because southerners were hotheads, assholes and horrible bigots. The North won because the south was a hellhole of ignorance and spite.

The outcome was as it had to be.

But now southerners are having it their way. The shithole is back. The racism is back. Violence, oligarchic government, inconceivable corruption, guns fucking everywhere, it's all back. Let's make it official.

Get honest about it. Rename or rebrand the country, as the case may be, "The Confederate States of America." I know, THE UNITED STATES OF TRUMP. Then maybe he'll be happy and stop renaming every little thing he comes across. Whatever pleases (him) them. 

It lets me off the hook. This isn't us, I want to say. I can fight, an honest fight, to reclaim the country for decency and constitutional governance. What they stand for against what we stand for. No more lies. And the Confederates can own their shit, for once. 

All the hate and bigotry and racism and violence. Let America and the world see what they are. Because it isn't the United States of America.
