      1619 project isn't good even if it's not for the reasons Cotton thinks it's not good...this isn't hard

      1619 can be criticized but it is mostly good and the over-reaction from leftists, liberals and right-wingers is really shameful.

          I mean that's a fair opinion to have obviously but it's not like the critiques are all the same. Each of them has to be dealt with separately not as a whole

          Tone policing is so much easier than engaging the left critique, eh?

          "sure they're weaponizing inaccurate scholarship to make US history exclusively about 'race' as a transcendent category unconnected to capitalism, but the real problem is that people are too mad"
