Are they nuts? Grant is literally the second best Republican after Abe, with Reagan and Ike following distant third and fourth
"They" is like 4-5 ignorant kids.
Why are we spending all these pages talking about them and trying to educate them? 99.99% of Americans disagree with the notion that U.S. Grant should be cancelled for being a slave owner. All this "history lesson" stuff is just preaching to the choir.
I can't wait until some idiot Berkeley anarchist boy gets the idea to go tear down a statue of Abraham Lincoln, then brag about it on TikTok because "Abraham Lincoln wanted to kick all the black people out of America." We're gonna have everyone in the media spending days going "ackshually Lincoln was good" and endlessly litigating the details of Lincoln's Liberia idea. And then we'll have a big ole thread on Atlas full of blue avatars going "the left has lost its mind now they are tearing down statues of Lincoln."
It’s not 4-5 ignorant kids it’s a coordinated effort to demonize our history by cultural communists and The NY Times has helped legitimatize these people too
As someone who is on the left, I promise you it is not a coordinated effort.
Here's what happens:
1: Some people in Mississippi pull down a statue of Jefferson Davis stepping on a black man's throat while doing a sieg heil.
2: A video is posted online showing the teardown and subsequent celebrations. It goes viral and receives a lot of positive attention because seriously, why is that statue a thing.
3: NYT columnists use it as fodder for boring thinkpieces about "by tearing down this statue are we losing our history?"
4: A couple of white kids in Berkeley who want to be internet famous see all this attention and say "hey, we can do that too!"
5: Problem is, there are no confederate memorial statues for the Berkeley kids to tear down. So instead they find a statue of Anne Frank, tear it down, justify it with some lame excuse about her being "problematic", and post it on the internet expecting to get praise.
6: Everyone on the internet, including their close friends and family, says "you're a f***ing idiot, don't tear down Anne Frank statues."
7: The video goes viral because everyone loves to dunk on these stupid kids who hate Anne Frank.
8: Some NYT columnist sees the opportunity for clickbait. Article title "Is Anne Frank Problematic?", article content "No." OSR is MASSIVELY triggered by the existence of this article.
9: Fox News: "Leftist mobs tear down statue of Anne Frank. Will Joe Biden and the radical left stop at nothing to destroy our history?"
10: Trump: WE WILL NEVER BOW TO THE LEFTIST MOB
My God that was an incredibly accurate post.
