One point.
I remember not too long ago, some Trumpster Diver actually had the gall to send me a link from some obscure website (PragerU I believe it was called) claiming that the Southern Strategy was a myth. When I asked how can the Conservative party of today consider themselves to be party of Lincoln when they are the ones championing the Rebel flags (even at Trump rallies) and doing the most to preserve monuments honoring Confederate generals, he double downed on the concept of the two parties switching ideologies, and said that even Candace Owens said it was a myth.
I think that if the Democratic Partytoday “owns” the legacy of slavery and the Confederacy, then Democrats have the right to take down “their” confederate statues. Whether it’s Democratic mayors or groups of protestors acting on their own, Republicans should not care that Democrats are taking down statues of past Democrats.
