Trump opposes efforts to remove Confederate commanders' names from military bases

I sure hope we're not calling BLM or Antifa 'Militants' now.

Look up that word. Read the definition. Then come back and call them 'militants'.

 

138,000+ America deaths? Steadily rising COVID-19 cases? Hospitals running out of space? How to safely open schools without infecting children?

no, this is the hill republicans have decided to die on...



btw, marsha marsha marsha... the correct spelling would be "Marxists"

 

I did not know this... 538 has a good article on it.




The biggest spike in Confederate memorials came during the early 1900s, soon after Southern states enacted a number of sweeping laws to disenfranchise Black Americans and segregate society. During this period, more than 400 monuments were built as part of an organized strategy to reshape Civil War history. And this effort was largely spearheaded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, who sponsored hundreds of statues, predominantly in the South in the early 20th century — and as recently as 2011.

“The UDC was very focused on the future,” said Karen Cox, a historian, University of North Carolina at Charlotte professor and author of numerous articles and books on Southern history and culture, including “Dixie’s Daughters: The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate Culture.” “Their goal, in all the work that they did, was to prepare future generations of white Southerners to respect and defend the principles of the Confederacy.” It wasn’t just Confederate monuments, either. They also rejected any school textbook that said slavery was the central cause of the Civil War; they praised the Ku Klux Klan and gave speeches that distorted the cruelty of American slavery and defended slave owners.

trump lying, again...

 

trump hates our military so. Here is says he doesn't care if the military wants to rename bases named for confederates, since he is the decider.



Here he suggests that there are no other possible names for military bases than "Reverend Al Sharpton" (no one has suggested this). He has no good argument, so he lies with a false argument. Why not rename that after the city they are in? Or state?
