I guess you have quite the imagination.

its like that because the show is literally just the movie "moonrunners".

the car is called the general lee because the car in moonrunners is called traveler, the historical general lee's horse.

moonrunners is a crazy movie, btw, and the first few seasons of the dukes of hazard are good too.

Conservatives are known for repurposing symbols to fit their narrative. So, let's take the Confederate battle flag and repurpose it into an Anarchist symbol.

General Lee is just a badass name for a car to drive fast around while you run your moonshine because fuck the police.

Just imagined it or don't understand it. There's zero incest in the show, and zero hate crimes. Other than the flag and name of the car, there's nothing racist about it at all, and that flag wasn't perceived as a racist symbol back then, as illogical as that may seem. When black people do appear in the show, which admittedly is rare, they're always equals to the Duke boys. The show is just good fun. If there's any theme to it at all, it's that it's cool to make money with moonshine, and flaunt the law, while making fools of law enforcement.

To add, the bad guy is a rich guy trying to exploit people for profit or to get revenge for those that have wronged him.

Well to be fair I was a kid and didn't watch it - didn't care.
