This is exactly why even those conservatives with no sympathies for the Confederacy ought to oppose the PC Left's efforts to tear down Confederate flags and monuments. The "woke" Left isn't going to stop with Confederate symbols. Today it's a statue of Stonewall Jackson, tomorrow a statue of George Washington will be on the same hit list. "Woke" activists are like a school of piranhas - one drop of blood in the water and one bit emboldens them, setting off a feeding frenzy where everything and anyone is fair game.
‘This is exactly why even those conservatives with no sympathies for the Confederacy’
I have no problems with the Confederacy on its own; I hold no sympathies for any large group of people consciously engaging in controversial measures such as splintering the union because they don’t like the results of an election...
‘ought to oppose the PC Left’s efforts to tear down Confederate flags and monuments.’
and so I do...as vigorously as I can...
