A couple years ago, I found postcards from my visit to Virginia after graduating high school in the 90’s. Some were pictures commemorating confederate statues. Figures like Robert E Lee were venerated. The US is not the Soviet Union, China or NK. But I am so afraid of the recreating history by the MAGA right, even for something that only happened a little over 4 years ago.

.." I have legalized robbery, called it belief,

I have run with the money

I have hid like a thief,

Re-written history with my armies and my crooks,

Invented memories,

and then burned all the books."

- Dire Straits, 'the Man's too Strong'
