Feel The Joementia!: 1/6/21 "Worst Attack On Our Democracy Since The Civil War"

Did he actually say that?

I wouldn't know because I didn't watch.

People are making fun on the grounds that he leaves out at least 12/7/41 and 9/11/01--which is richly deserved. But my favorite bit of that is how contrived it is to get in a shot at the Confederacy, which is progressives' newest bete noir. Getting in a shot at the Confederacy highlights slavery (an actual example of institutional racism) and white racism, throws an elbow at the south (which is often a symbol of rural American more generally), and gives a shout-out to the progressives' ongoing project of damnatio memoriae. Really disgusting. Lincoln and the better angels of our nature be damned...even if that means ignoring Pearl Harbor et al.
