Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Yep. We need more headlines that end with "despite GOP opposition".
If you’re upset that people don’t want to memorialize the south that was pro slavery and lost, you should re-examine your own values. And to all those Republican dickheads that say things like “the slave owners were democrats”, which party is upset about removing all the confederate statues and puts confederate flags on their pickups and houses again?
This. Their attempts to rewrite history and ignore that democrats that were racists were conservatives fail right off the blocks when they cry and cope over monuments to racists being removed.
It's so weird how the cons clutch their pearls whenever an accusation of racism is leveled at them, but they tell on themselves all the time when it comes to monuments to racist traitorous scum.
But mah heritage! Mah five years of heritage!
The View has lasted over 5 times longer than the Confederacy.
Fortnite has lasted longer than the confederacy.
Just to sort of pile on, Breaking Bad lasted longer than the Confederacy.
Myspace lasted longer than the Confederacy.
Confederate losers still taking L’s 160 years later
I might support a public restroom to properly memorialize the slaver rebellion
I assumed that would be the most popular attraction at the Trump Presidential Library, but they don't seem to be building one. I guess you don't need an entire library to store a copy of The Art of the Deal.
Only if it's never cleaned.
Republicans are always calling themselves "The Party of Lincoln". So, why would they want to preserve the statues of Lincoln's enemies?
It's almost as if every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation.
That's a Democrat memorial though, they remind us all the time that the Democrats are really the racists because they supported slavery during the Civil War. And it's a participation trophy, something else they foam at the mouth and lash their tooth over.
Yep. The parties completely flipped sides on this as a result of Nixon deciding to court the southern vote through appeals to racism
Republicans want to have it both ways. They want to be able to call Democrats the party of slavery and the KKK, but they also want to keep monuments to people who fought for slavery that were erected by people in the KKK.
may all traitors die soon, die mad, and be thrown in the potomac to rot
I grew up within a stone's throw of where William T. Sherman was born, and I gotta say... I'm in the mood for some southern bbq and a delightful stroll to the ocean.
