I mean, whatever. Confederates start with the desired outcome they want and then work backwards from that to justify it. They’re always consistent in their mind, because to them consistency is how they feel about the outcome. It doesn’t matter to them that they have no internal consistency between each justification. They just want to impose their will or, if necessary, make you let them have their way.

To say it bluntly, it’s the mindset of a child.
