Trump's claim "who's next, Washington and Jefferson?" is directly taken from alt right propaganda [View all]

The idea being that "the left" wants to take down statues of anyone deemed "problematic" and "change history". These are the things a lot of uneducated people think is where the "slippery slope" begins.

We need to stand strong against this. Do not fall for this trap. The Confederates were traitors. They should not be honored in this nation.
