Governor Jesse Ventura and a colleague

Jesse Ventura is a good one. He also tried to start a wrestler union.

And all governor's before and after Jessie Ventura have also not given it back. It's ours

It's an unusual choice for Virginia to celebrate getting its ass kicked but we all celebrate heritage differently. Minnesota, for instance, remembers success.

When your heritage is hate, be prepared to have it denied.

@PugJesus As a Minnesotan: fucking right!

virginian here

keep it. that flag didn't represent us when it was flying over our state. especially in my part of virginia support for the restored virginia movement and the union was high. the daughters of the Confederacy started remixing history as early as the 1880 to manipulate people into misunderstanding their own family legacy.

the virginia legislature's conservative position when jesse ventura was governor was the result of a century long project to disenfranchise, gerry-mander, and manipulate people out of having any meaningful support for progressive causes. we are still pulling out of that to the point that this year we had to choose between a Black nazi and a CIA agent for governor
