I applaud the sentiment, but uhm… I don't think the comparison is helpful. Fighting external enemies is very different from fighting fascism from within. The "the state champions freedom" vs "the state is tyranny" kind of different.

Like… our main problem today is not guns and ships.
The main problem is media, i.e. the propaganda system that keeps MAGAts happy to shoot themselves in the foot.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine.
Before this is over, it will have to dealt with as the National Security Threat it is.

Better if it shows a Confederate soldier?
We will beat them again. It's just a question of how much suffering until then, and how much we actually root out the ideology.
Did you really though?
Reconstruction was never truly complete and allowed for a full range of "compromises". The attitude and feelings remained the same.
Quite sad that 175 years later and the arguments have changed very little.
To give some context to how little it's changed even in rhetoric. Confederate leaders were fear mongering about socialism.
I didn't do shit because I wasn't alive then. And clearly they're not gone, because here they are. But you may note that slavery is illegal now. Not enough but not nothing. If you want to doom keep it to yourself.

They forfeited the right to be called my countrymen when they spat on the founding principles of the nation. They are foreign to the American ideal.
Yeah but they don't have an entire world of countries using guns and bombs to tell them that.
Fighting fascism is a whole lot easier when it decides to start a world War, every other instance they just continue on within their own borders.
We're trying to avoid the whole world war part but it'll come if these assholes continue

They are foreign to the American ideal.
What ideal would that be? Manifest Destiny, the genocidal land theft from indigenous people followed by enslaving Africans to build the nation?
This is America, and underneath the rhetoric and the eagles, always has been America. You've just been brainwashed into believing otherwise.

Not to mention that America inspired the Nazis, and after we "beat them", we hired them to run NASA and NATO...
Maybe the weapon is being held by a European liberator

65 million people died in Europe alone. Facism has a profound price paid in blood by the working class while the ruling class benefits.
the non-violent protests has been largely ineffective , it just shows that there is no resistance when they use violence. the last thing the people at top want, rich people is rioting.
turns out Minneapolis shouldnt gave given up their guns, huh....
right now there is no chaos, just proper predictable protests. rioting isnt neccesarily violence
But only after they have already killed millions.
Every third generation after the event apparently.
You didn't beat them before. Your grandparents did.
