No more excuses, unreasonable justifications, weak explanations or unconvincing diversions will do. Suspicions, hunches, diplomatic queries and optimistic hesitancies are no longer necessary. There is no more doubt. The president of the United States is a Confederate. Yes, he is a gray coat, a “wish I was in Dixie” singer, a night rider, a white supremacist. He is all those things and more.
It is your prerogative to still love and stand with him. But, be clear — If you do, you are a Confederate as well. Own it! There can be no more equivocation on the matter. Some might suggest you seek therapy.
Whether he has secured the services of a good counselor or not, Confederate President Trump is angry again. He is angry at people demanding America remove its “beautiful” Confederate statues and racist sports team nicknames. He is livid about rogue, terrorist protesters trying to take over the country. He is angry that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace won’t apologize for a hoax of a noose being found on the door of his racing garage in Alabama (a noose which was actually there, by the way). And he is pissed off that Confederate flags are being retired and banned across the country.
