Desantis was also asked about the Civil War and gave the following answer

Solid answer I guess. But why are ppl even asking about this what does this have to do with anything at the moment

And ppl melt about Don lampooning that Home Alone director

To get a moment like Nikki had last night. That's pretty much it.

If you can't get past obvious Dem plant questions you shouldn't even be in the race.

Great question. I suspect as always, The Narrative and its demand for racism dictates the “need” for such questions.

The democrats of that time tried to keep the Republican candidate off the ballot too.

One of your finer threads in a while. Thanks for this.

Would have been much better if he told them that question has been answrerd ad nasuem, its irrelevant for the current state of affairs and we are focus on whats happening now not something from 150yrs ago

So he also didn’t answer the question!

Here's a dirty little secret: Nobody on this board and no one in real life is REALLY that emotional or invested in the Civil War.

People will argue, curse one another, argue semantics, virtue-signal and pretend to give a shite, but at the end of the day, people don't REALLY give a damn.

This is a gotcha question aimed at perpetuating the LIE that the Right is more racist than the Left, nothing more and people will take the bait and make arguments based on little bits of History and little bits of bias.

We have come so far in such a short time that to do anything other than completely dispassionately discuss the UNASSAILABLE facts (heh) is a disservice to the Nation.

It happened.

It was terrible.

What rose out of the ashes is what matters.

We face far, far greater threats at the moment.

Probably trying to justify 'reparations.'

What I've learned most about the Civil War has nothing to do with the Civil War. It's about European history.
There is a very strong pattern that America did whatever England did....20 years later.
The industrial revolution, railroads, technology, etc. were all invented in England and we caught on years later.
England had abolished slavery. If the Civil War had never been fought America would have abolished slavery a few years later.

England laughed at how primitive we were. They famously said: 'Mark Twain is the first really good American novelist.' They had a point.
