Does “make America great again” not imply a desire to return to the past?

There are many national parks on historic grounds. Why are you okay with the removal of history?

I assume it works similarly to how some of the South Carolina’s state parks work. Here, a few rice plantations were converted into parks and reserves because the loch systems in the fields are great for controlling flooding. As such, most of these parks have at the bare minimum a plague memorializing the slaves who lived there.

No, your disgusting ilk are the ones constantly trying to hide history and repeat it.

No period he could be referring to is a good answer

Also Trump supports forced prison labor which is slavery. Slavery never really ended

Does the “again” refer to the 2000s, when we were constantly at war, or the 1990s and 80s, when we were constantly at war, or the 70s and 60s, when not every American had equal rights, or the 50s and 40s, when not every American had equal rights and when we were constantly at war or the 30s and 20s when not every American had equal rights and we were in a depression, or the 1890s and 10s, when only cis white men had rights and we were dying from disease (and constantly at war)

I think you'd have a better existence if you were born in the late 1700s Unfortunately it's 2025 and you just come across as a hugely bigoted weirdo

Not glorifying racist POSs is not erasing history.

No one was glorifying them. They were there to show our history

The statues were not erected during the actual Confederate period. They are not historical artifacts from that time. Statues serve the purpose of revering certain figures as representative of community values or as having had significant POSITIVE effects on history.

This kind of ignorance should be embarrassing. Such a shame that it’s so normalized.

Your conception of the past is a fantasy that never existed. And your conception of the present is a myth that has been sold to you by fascist propaganda.

I never gave you any insight into how I viewed the past or present. Your search for a smart comeback went up in flames.
