    I assume that you're referring to the President and his followers.

    I suppose it will be interesting to see what they consider 'improper ideology.' But the very term seems so un-American.

    I don't know. He's getting advice from somewhere. TBH, he hasn't seemed bright or interested enough to push all these things himself.

    With the economy heading south towards "dumpster fire" status, Trump needs something to distract the people.

    It's so racist to have a problem with orange people.

    Yes, that Robert E. Lee statue that used to stand in Lee Circle in New Orleans, which was erected in 1884, wasn't racist at all because Robert E. Lee didn't have slaves that he enslaved and beat and he never betrayed his country to fight for the South to keep them enslaved.

    Do you have any confederate soldiers in your family tree? Have you deleted them? Are you for bulldozing the confederate section of Arlington National Cemetery? How about burning all records of the Confederacy? Doesn't all this make sense?

    I think I see your point.

    Because there's totally, like, no rational middle ground. As in; don't erase records of the confederacy or bulldoze ANC ......... but also don't have monuments to people who mainly fought to preserve slavery.

    Doing it in a rational manner, as stated right there ^ ........ simply wouldn't be possible. If we don't bring the statues back, why that's the same as ..... bulldozing graves.

    Right?

    Why does maga want to hide all records of slavery? Remove it from history books and forbid anyone even talking about it?

    My father’s line fought with Ulysses S Grant so no…. My mother’s side was in France and didn’t arrive until after the civil war.

    The Confederacy was flawed belief system, build on hate. They believed that all of god’s children, weren’t equal to each other. They got what they deserved.

    We don’t want to burn their records; we want the whole world to see them; so everyone understands their flawed concept of humanity.

    My Great grandfather on my dads side surrendered to Union forces in Ky and spent the rest of the war in the Union Prison camp at Point Lookout MD. My great great grandfather on my mothers side surrendered to the Yankees just outside of Gainesville and was transferred to the prison camp at Ft Pulaski Ga.

    I tell people I have cowards on both sides of the family. At least the one that was in Ft Pulaski prison camp did escape.

    I was just added to a signal chat, and Donald is planning a new EO. He is going to replace Lincolns face with his on Mount Rushmore, because has done more for black people than any other president. And Canada is going to pay for it

    Most of the male members on my mom side died at Olustee
    They didn't fight to defend slavery, they fought to stop their homes from being burned and their livestock slaughtered. Like so many others in time of war, just trying to protect their family and what little they had.
