Erasing Democrats

Has anybody noticed the push to erase Democrats from history?

The military is renaming posts named after members of the DNC.

Where I live they are renaming Ft Gordon (named after a Democrat Senator and Governor) to Ft. Eisenhower (a Republican general and President).

In VA they removed a statue of Democrat senator Jefferson Davis.


Thing is, it is Democrats erasing Democrat history.

 

No. That is not exactly true.

The DNC was conservative and the GOP liberal in relation to one another and culture in general. Those terns are relative.

BUT the DNC has always been the oppressors of minority races in our nation for their gain. This has not changed.

The DNC only changed tactics when it had to.

The parties shift according to their needs. It's politics.

But enslaving majorities, whether in chains or via politics, has been constant in the DNC. What was slavery is now political indentured servitude.

That is the point of, IMHO, the DNC wanting to remove its history. It is not because they have changed but because their past betrays the present.

I'm not for the GOP either. They wanted statues of George Floyd removed.

 

Well, thing is had the South won there would be no US today. We certainly would not have survived WW2, if we lasted until WW1. And before then the South would have crumbled (as Robert E Lee predicted were slavery to continue).

I disagree with @Salty in that I believe it is obvious the DNC has fought fairly hard to divide the nation for its own shortsighted gain. It was fairly united during WW1 and WW2, so we can't exactly blame division on the Union or even Republicans in general. And the Democrats racist policies made it necessary to give greater control to the Federal government (it was the Republicans who started Big Government in that sense).

 

Yes, I am here. But that's because I was talking about the other side of the coin (the Democrats and their history of racism up to the present day).

The outright evil of the DNC is obvious. They wear it as a badge of pride. This makes the GOP more dangerous. The DNC and the GOP are wolves, but it is the GOP that is wearing sheep's clothing.

I wasn't being soft on the GOP. I simply wasn't talking about that party.

 

I disagree. The idea of the United States being a voluntary union of states was common during that time. Each state was commonly thought of as autonomous.

Should an autonomous State that has chosen to unite with other States under one federal government decide to withdraw from that union, it is not necessarily traitorous. The question is whether that bond, once entered into, can be dissolved. The Civil War answered that question.

It is similar to the EU. Can a government withdraw from the EU once they are in the EU? At the time of the Civil War loyalties were to the state more than the Union (citizens identified their citizenship with their state).

But to the victor. Benedict Arnold would have been a hero had Britain not lost. They did, so he is a traitor. Washington would have been a traitor had the British won, but he is a revolutionary hero because the revolt was successful.
