As Trump predicted, statues of Washington and Jefferson are next
[Hot Air] Remember all those fights about removing historical statues?Of course you do, since the battles continue to this day. The issue flares up every once in a while, particularly when Democrats want to get their voters fired up against the evil American system of government, which is almost always. One big battle took place during the Trump administration, and Trump dismissed the (largely successful) movement to remove statues and building names that glorified members of the Confederacy. Trump had a simple argument: wiping away these statues and references to the Confederacy had nothing to do with confronting America’s racist past, and everything to do with wiping away American history as a whole. Trump predicted that Washington and Jefferson were next on the chopping block because they, too, were slaveholders. Liberals screamed bloody murder, denying that they were engaged in such a nefarious plot. Washington and Jefferson weren’t comparable to Confederates (they aren’t, either), so no worries. As is so often the case, Trump lost the battle but proved to be right. Posted by: Besoeker 2023-09-20 |
