Have you rejected politicians who have insisted on providing state honors for the Confederacy? Four states currently commemorate the Confederacy on their flag (Mississippi changed theirs in 2021). Other states have laws protecting monuments to the Confederacy, sometimes treating these monuments to slavery and treason as comparable to monuments recognizing soldiers and police officers. Several states recognize “Confederate memorial day” and “Robert E. Lee day” (or similar “Confederate heroes days”. Many of these honors have been the subject of election campaigns over the past several years, and many elected officials are on record adamantly defending state honors for the Confederacy. If my conservative friend is willing to support these politicians because of agreement on some other issue, then they are admitting their own complicity in maintaining white supremacy in fact if not in name, and maintaining the cultural influence of explicit white supremacy.
