I say the same thing about QWERTY, but here we are.There really shouldn't be Confederate material in public areas, we need to move past that stain on our history.

Yuh, I agree. He manipulated the media pretty damn well, and got billions in free advertisement for his campaign.Actually I'd say Trump has the Mainstream Media to thank for his election
I just love the fact that he pretended not to know who the "alt-right" is.
Yeah, I seem to recall a lot of vandalism and violence from the then-unmonikered alt-right around that time, tooConsidering it was something the liberal msm made up and pushed relentlessly during the 2016 election cycle.
The first huge spike happened right after trump won the rnc nomination

Well, my stance on this is pretty simple. Move it to a museum, but don't vandalize it, it's history now. If you would've done this immediately after the Civil War like people did with Nazi imagery in Germany, I wouldn't have considered it vandalism, but symbolism. But the Civil War happened over 150 years ago. I think we're beyond the point of symbolism or "retribution by the victors." It's just vandalism now. Preserve it, then put it in a museum where it belongs.
I thought Hillary first made the term popular in a speech? The same speech the guy yelled "Pepe" in.Considering it was something the liberal msm made up
My thinking on Confederate statues is that the confederacy actively fought to undermine the US. They were an enemy of the United States, therefore it's fine if the statues are moved to a museum. Meanwhile, George Washington was one of the founders of our nation, and a national hero who fought for us in the Revolutionary War. I draw the line at, "Is this an enemy of the US?" not "Did this person hold slaves?". When you celebrate George Washington, you're celebrating him as the founder of America, or the first president, not as a slaveholder. When you celebrate Robert E. Lee, you celebrate him as someone who fought against the US government to secede and divide our nation. The litmus test, I suppose, is this: "When this person is celebrated, what are they celebrated for?" No one associates George Washington with slavery, and nobody celebrates him for being a slaveowner, so his statues and namesakes should not be removed.I can agree with this.
However I feel this may be a bit of a slippy slope.
G Washington was a slave owner. Should his statues be moved? Some on the left want to rename Washington State for this same reason.
Also should blacks pay for this via their tax dollars considering he was a slave owner? What about Lincoln?
I'm just not sure where to draw the line.

The pepe thing happened a few weeks later in late aug, and then hillary made a whole anti pepe alt right page on her site around the 2nd week of septI thought Hillary first made the term popular in a speech? The same speech the guy yelled "Pepe" in.
They used to be called the tea party movement or something like that, alt-right is new.I just love the fact that he pretended not to know who the "alt-right" is.
While I agreed with most of he said that part really got to me.
