Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
RULES
-
No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

What's the house policy on incompetence?
Historically speaking, the so-called 'pro-competence' crowd have been big into writing hagiographies, handing out posh medals, and wearing "We're #1" novelty foam hands. It's this kind of behavior that leads to half-baked conspiracy theories.
There is a big opening for a 'pro-incompetence' movement to come in, clean house, and advocate for what REALLY happened.
Congratulations, it's been a while since I learned a new word. Or my memory is just horrible nowadays and I don't remember due to the copious amount of weed I consume.
Anyhow. Thanks. TIL
