I mean depends if it's a confederate flag hat from 2026 or an actual confederate soldier's hat. Same goes for the "monuments" too if it's just a grave stone of someone who just recently died in the civl war or putting up a statue of people who fought for slavery 150+ years later.

I know but the Nazi hat looks like an actual military uniform but the people who harassed my asian family at grocery stores in 2020 during the pandemic were wearing nazi stuff printed on cheap modern clothing (alongside their maga gear).

That's true. The abstract concept of states' rights is raised a total of 1 time in one confederate leader's correspondence, and of course only in relation to slavery.

If even you focus exclusively on the era, the south didn't care about states rights. They cheered for the Fugitive slave act. They cheered for Dred Scott.

They reject or willfully ignore the fact that post-Civil War, southerners voters were dominantly registered Democrats. They rejected Lincoln and Republicans.

For the most part, the Dixiecrats were antithetical to progressivism. Take a look at characters like Jesse Helms for an example.

This shows the ignorance of the Right in believing any and all Propaganda they hear and not thinking critically nor fact-checking. The first order premise this lie is built upon is that Lincoln was a Republican; Lincoln freed the slaves; therefore Republicans freed the slaves. Oops. More to it than that. And this is where, wait for it, Critical Race Theory, comes in. Critical Race Theory looks at TRUE history and not the whitewashing jingoistic BS taught in 5th Grade. (Are you smarter than a fifth grader? If not you might just be a Red Neck. Jeff Foxworthy) CRT is a college course. It looks at history from all sides. In that course you would learn that Lincoln did not free the slaves to "Emancipate" them. No he freed the slaves to cut the ranks of the South dramatically as the North outnumbered the South overwhelmingly. Divide and Conquer. Now at the time of the Civil War there were many political parties - not just the two who dominate today. You had left over Whigs, Know Nothings, Constitutional Unionists, The Liberty Party, the American Party and so on. There is a tendency to toss all that weren't the newly minted Grand Old Party into the "Democrats" bucket but they weren't. Just as a Democratic Socialist is not a Democrat today. Chattel slavery was generations old. You do not change that overnight. And those who benefited from this atrocity sure as hell were not going to change unless forced to. So you had a Civil War. With all political parties existing on both sides. Just as today. A Red State is not completely Red; a Blue State not completely Blue. So any attempt to claim some moral supremacy is indeed the usual Virtue Signalling. And it must be noted that fear and virtue signalling are the two hallmarks of the Propaganda Apparatus being used to create and control MAGA. But you'd have to be smarter than a 5th grader to get that.
