Have you noticed that POTUS wasn't a racist homophobe until he ran for President? They're not after Trump. They're after us. Trump is just in their way.
Well thunk and well writ, Claire.
You outlined and specified some very fundamental truths
(and all within my TL;DR parameters).
Can’t disagree with any of it, and that’s rare.
There was only one phrase missing: “Bend the knee,”
but that would have necessitated another paragraph.
(What? Yeahhh, there might be a cartoon in that.)

Well stated. The destruction of historical artifacts does nothing to change history; it simply removes the ability of others to learn from it.
But then, those people doing the destroying don’t believe in learning, anyway.
ThanQ, DM
I was stretching my own TL;DR parameters.
This thing has so many aspects and so many tentacles — and so much outright ignorant buffoonery and agenda-driven misinterpretation that a multiple PhD thesis-length research papers would be inadequate.
mainly, tho, I’m madder ‘n a wet hen at all the disrespect.

Be interesting to find out how many of these scumbags are closet owners of statues, (and/or the collected works), of Lenin or Stalin (or Trotsky).

President Trump: “The sky is blue.”
Stupid reporter: “So, you support White Supremacists?”
