Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

They (gop) really want a civil war.
they do realize that if they start it and we win, we're gonna have to finish the job for good this time, right? we aren't gonna make the "ending reconstruction early" mistake twice.
Sherman should have never stopped.
He should definitely have continued into the sea, and burned that, too.
When it comes to Texas, he went in the wrong direction.
I hope you're right, but I worry that the majority of Americans will want to forgive and move on.
Ban all confederate and nazi symbols and treat anyone using them as enemy combatants, dissidents, whatever. I don't like operating in absolutes but they've shown time and time again not doing so only allows them to push everything further right into christofascist extremism.
Just let them secede. They don’t really want a fair democracy anyway, so good riddance. America will be better off without them.
Even if they won their precious civil war, in their brave new world of Jesus Trumpmerica, states still aren't going to let other states tell them what to do.
The only world in which Texas' AG has this sort of power is a world where a country that includes the Pacific Northwest is called Texas.
At this point so do I. These monsters fill me with rage on a daily basis. Let's fucking do it already, there's way more liberals than vile conservatives. I'm ready to pop a few for the betterment of our country.
