This is another of those subjects that is difficult to discuss without pounding the podium and

frothing at the mouth: history is being erased, scrubbed or totally deleted by a crew of simple-minded bigots.

We have heard about Holocaust deniers for decades and we apparently decided to ignore them as they were "obviously lying" and "no thinking person will believe them". Guess what? There are MILLIONS who aren't "thinking people".

They are now denying Jim Crow, slavery, lynching, climate change and the covid virus. Hell, they are even trying to deny homosexuality!

These knuckle-draggers have succeeded in taking over school boards and state education offices because they threaten any who oppose them with violence. They openly call for executions and assassinations of the "communist traitors" who believe in teaching "socialist" things like truth and facts and science.

All of the above is cut from the same cloth as their latest Orwellian pronouncement: what occurred at the Capitol last January 6th was simply "legitimate political discourse".

We need to practice loudly saying "That is unAmerican BULLSHIT!" each time one of these MAGAt screamers begins spewing this nonsense, especially when they are spewing it on TV.

If its not generating clicks, likes, & viewers, they may give you only a quick glance before going back to the Really Big Story.


I'm not disagreeing with your point. You are absolutely right.
I simply don't know how one accomplishes mass media exposure when your statement isn't considered valid in that good old boys elite billion $$$ industry.
