Both sides of the conservative schism are accusing the other of the exact same things. Both call the other “woke right,” both call the other “Israel First,” both in an effort to delegitimize the other and avoid any real conversation. Both are correct about this.
“Historian here…” Ok. Let me explain something. You paid a lot of money for some pieces of paper that get you published in journals that nobody reads, but it is the American people, not you, who should decide how our history is celebrated. You’re just another citizen in this.
Historian here and I approve of this. Taking down Confederate statues does not erase history, it stops commemorating traitors to the American republic who fought as Grant said for the worst cause in history.
