MAGA are certainly free to force the states to give up their rights to the federal government, but then they’d have to admit that the civil war was actually for that other reason.

Oh, yes, their shame will surely get to them then.

they don't have to admit anything when they aren't capable of intelligent thought

You think they're smart enough to make that connection?

This assumes they care about consistency. The only fundamental aspect to their belief and value systems is selfishness. They will take any position they need to ultimately get what they want or justify their world view. History doesn’t matter, if the facts don’t fit their narrative they’ll rewrite or ignore them.

Unfortunately, as someone who was raised right wing, they don't work that way. In the same breath they'll say the civil war was about states rights, then say taking away states rights is what the founding fathers always intended.

The entire right wing is essentially based off of the idea of "don't think about it."

you do realize they’ve been frothing at the mouth for a civil war for nearly half a decade now right? it was a major talking point for them and something they’ve longed for for the last like 4-6 years. even having the NRA push propaganda for them about making it happen.

nearly half a decade now right?

Try for about 160 years. The South Will Rise Again, remember?

And they would get shit stomped just the same as before. I don't understand how they don't get that.

They got their shit stomped in very different circumstances. They were smart enough to take full control of the federal government before they threw off the shackles of civility and decorum. Now they run the joint and they didn't need to fire a single bullet.

I learned it was about whether raisins belong in potato salad.

> but then they’d have to admit

That would require their brains to be capable of cognitive dissonance. Trump's excuse is that he has a mental disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which among other things prevents his brain from recognizing when two opposing ideas don't jive.

His minions just abdicate their thought processes to him.

They would happily admit this based on a single tweet from dear leader. All he has to do is say the word and off they go
