What the bloody hell is a #ConfederateMonument even DOING in #WashingtonDC ANYWAY?
The #Confederacy spent five years trying to get into DC and FAILED, that's why they SURRENDERED (with crossed fingers, apparently).

@randahl The problem goes back long before #citizensunited when #protestant churches moved into the #confederacy during the #reconstruction. These churches are so corrupt and enable so much iniquity it is unbelievable. I'm not saying they're fundamentally corrupt but they're corrupt in every other way. Their membership lists go straight to the #RNC, the #NRA, and the #HeritageFoundation.
Morning Mastheads, still working on the good part. Unfortunately I woke up this morning with a hurting heart. Last night I got into it with a #MAGA acquaintance who was utterly and, I fear, purposefully ignorant. In their reality, #Trump and #Musk were modernday superheroes saving #America from the evil leftist Marxist radical leftists. And now he’s going after the #Smithsonian because of what he calls unAmerican ideology. Gosh, I wonder what he’s driving at. Operation Whitewash continues apace. And as an added bonus, he seems to want to rehabilitate the #Confederacy again. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone attempted to establish a moral equivalence between the #Jan6 criminals and the Confederate rebels. What a great time to be alive! #snark

"When Trump and his administration push for the Confederacy and try to disappear the diverse past, they are delivering on the political primal scream that the right emitted after Obama won.
It’s doubtful that Trump will succeed in erasing the country’s collective memory, but like the men who tried to keep chattel slavery legal, Republicans are willing to give their crusade one last Confederate try."

"Photos and histories of people of color, women, and the LGBTQ+ community are being purged, and nearly every day some new erasure is being uncovered. ... But there is one unique period in U.S. history that Trump and his cronies are very interested in preserving and promoting: the Confederacy."

Fort Benning name restored, honoring a World War I hero
BS. The felon Trump regime is looking for any name to be able to rename sites after confederate scumbags while not admitting that they are doing this racist act. They know that the racists who honor the confederacy will take the reversing of the names as vindication of their side.

**Why Edinburgh has a Confederate soldier memorial**
David Wallace Lockhart
_“It commemorates Colonel Robert A Smith, a Scot who was struck down in Kentucky during the US civil war._
_As a Confederate soldier, he fought for the Southern pro-slavery states who wanted to break away from the Union.”_

Make no mistake, #Whitenationalist #Hegseth saying that reverting the name of #FortLiberty back to #FortBragg is in honor of a #WWII #veteran is just cover for him wanting to continue to honor the #Confederate general #BraxtonBragg. Just another indication of our acceleration towards a #fascist White nationalist state.

Commenter on r/Miltary:
" Welcome to Fort John Bell Hood. Named after the traitor whose failure to effectively lead his Soldiers while rebelling for the the right to keep another human enslaved, was credited as one of the best possible commanders for Union Generals to face.
His service record includes failure to protect Atlanta from Sherman in the best win for the Union to date, and one that was pivotal in the final campaign to crush the Confederacy’s ability to continue rebelling.
We proudly honor his history as a failure and to remind anyone else thinking treason is a good idea, that we will also enshrine your stupidity and racism for the ages as a joke."
