Ok but: 1) saying the “Confederacy was bad (yet we should maintain 155 years later the monuments and names of military bases that honor white supremacist/slave owning traitors)” isn’t much of a position. 2) Lots of people are defending Lincoln and Grant—including 99% of the left.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

You know what the right thing is here, Dan—it’s not hard to defend Grant and Lincoln—c’mon. It’s slightly harder—but it really shouldn’t be after these many years—to say we the people shouldn’t honor in our public spaces *the very people they fought so nobly.* Do that.
