Most of the people aren’t awful.

Cue neo-Confederates in the comments, mocking people who know history for being ignorant of their made-up history.
And anti-“Antfia” in the comments…
I’ve started referring to Confederates as “European-heritage terrorists who have committed the largest episode of treason against the U.S.”.
Which would make them “fa”
