Woah, wait a minute here. So the Nazis were so ineffective they couldn't kill 6 million Jews, but the Jews were so amazingly deadly they could knock off 60 million Russians? I know who's side I'm on!
It was time-traveling Mossad robots.

You know... I had a friend harassed by cops for years because his records had mingled with a guy who just had a bad habit of attacking cops... with his fists...

I'm pretty sure if you threaten to or actually murder cops, your white male privileges goes out the window....

Nah, Lee was at least a capable General. Also, he was sort of put in a bad situation - back then, states were a lot more to someone than they are now - more like how people from EU consider themselves to be French or Swedish, not Europeans [except in the broad sense]. He was on the wrong side, and that side lost the war they started, but he didn't -start- the insurrection.

That feeling was not universal, especially in the North that had more interstate infrastructure and an integrated economy. But many Southern officers stayed in the US army. Lee chose. He put himself where he wanted to be.

Well yes, but the tie to your state was stronger then it is now, and states did have more power. I mean hell, local history time...

The army engineer that came from Mass. to build For Pickens went hard core slave owning local. But quick thinking on the part of the people in charge meant that Pensacola itself was maybe confederate for a few weeks, if that? [And after the war, the locals were really pissed when the Gov of Florida put up confederate monuments in town, according to my spouse.]
So, like there were northerners who went with the South and insurrection too. The point being...

Trump actively started this shit - Lee chose the wrong side, but he did not start the war - in fact, the war started before Virginia decided to join the south. [Like wtf but whatever].
And Lee was a good, capable general, Twitler isn't.

Trump is a mix of the worst impulses of Jackson, Buchanan, Hoover, and Nixon.
