My favorite thing about the Confederate statue debate is how Trump said, early on, if you take down Lee you’ll end up taking down Jefferson, to which everyone said he was crazy and then two years later they were taking down Jefferson *and* Teddy Roosevelt.
The Confederate statue debate a decade ago was my biggest red pill. Because I knew exactly where it had to lead.
At the time, people who are strong conservatives warned me, “Is this the hill you want to die on.” I said, “I’m not dying, but I won’t disrespect those who did. So, yes. This is my hill. And it will be my son’s hill, and hill of every American who loves nuance, truth, and the glory of America.”
Anyway, that’s still, like, where I am on this.
