It's not just science. Trump & Republicans are rewriting history, Making America Great Again. They're erasing facts of genocide, slavery & apartheid in particular: "Monuments to racism license racist violence. White supremacists, for their part, know this well." theintercept.com/2025/08/08/t...

That's fair, since Smithsonian is canceling accurate history.

YUCK. Putting Confederate statues up? That stuff is an embarrassment, a reminder that people in certain parts of the country were once too dumb to recognise that those people should not be celebrated (and many are still too dumb).

Republicans are the party of Confederate monuments. It's not just certain parts of the country at all. Trump is from NYC

Ever heard of the Dixie-crats? They weren't Republicans.

They became Republicans in anger and disgust at Civil Rights, followed by most white Americans and lighter skinned people of color
