      It's okay to rectify bad ideas made by people who were trying to intimidate other people by using "monuments."

      See, the idea that the monuments served no purpose but intimidation is where I part company from that view.

      It's an inconvenient belief, but it's a big part of why they were put up. I would just have stuck with "no statues for treason," but every reason they're up is a bad reason, we don't have to agree on all the bad reasons.

      You walked through the chronology...carefully. Positing no reason beyond honoring graying forefathers in the monuments of the Woodrow era. Yet as a Georgia native, I know that's when the Klan resurgence started here...and PEAKED in the following decade. Same with the monuments.

      Not "inherently" malicious and "compare to Union statue construction" is lawyerly and - and both-sidesism of the worst kind. Tear them down, and move on. it was treason. The statues should be melted down and the Confederacy should be remembered for what it was: Evil. /1

      Set up a monument to the *men* killed, or a Tomb of the Unknowns or something. But you cannot fly the American flag over a park with Robert E. Lee under it. He made war on that flag, and you have pick one. /2x

      Setting aside what Tom would do if he were king, there's a reason why calls for these things to be torn down is coming now, and not 10 or 20 or 30 years ago... and we all know the reason why.

      It's because Democrats no longer contend for the votes of white Southerners, so they can claim to believe things different than what they claimed to believe as recently as the mid-2000s.

          I have no problem with the idea that Democrats, once southern white voters were lost to them, decided not to pussyfoot on the issue of statues and flags. But IIRC, the flag issue especially goes back a lot further than 2012.

          Attributing causation to correlation there. Could just as easily say, Democrats no longer believe the things they did as recently as the mid-2000s, and as a result they can no longer contend for the votes of white southerners.
