Or at least some significant _consequences_, problem is that we will most assuredly feel the consequences collectively instead of just the idiots paying for their idiocy. ---

> [@Akaj](#): > > But didn’t the first insurrection’s leaders actually surrender in Appomattox, Virginia? You are probably right. The Civil War was not an insurrection in my mind. Not like the insurrection that Trump started. Why this man is still walking around free is a puzzle. ---

But I thought the joke was meant to suggest that the Civil War was the first insurrection, and Jan. 6th the second, and that both were ending with leaders surrendering in Atlanta. Which is clearly inaccurate, so maybe I’m missing the point entirely. 😵‍💫 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-3/986588.md?page=43) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-3/986588.md?page=45)
