Default Yankee is a multi-purpose insult, one not nearly as bad as anything with Charlottesville in the name

I had only ever heard the term 'Damn Yankees' in real time as the name of a band until one of my aunts said it in front of me. They were in the DAR and we are descended of Lee and Houston. I got to hear in school of how 'awful' my ancestors were.
Yankee to me today is not only a geographical location where one resides or comes from. It is also an ideology rife with arrogance, greed and a willingness to sell your soul for power and money. In McShitbag's case though, both apply equally.

BTW, there are many cities in Virginia that do not honor Lee-Jackson Day. CharlottesvilleSSR is one of them, to no one's surprise here I am sure. However, that communist enclave honors Thomas Jefferson with a city holiday. I will have to think hard to come up with a more blatant example of hypocrisy than this one. I have called the city council out on this big time.
