Trump 'will not even consider' renaming Army bases named for Confederate leaders

Give it a rest, ya sap.
I'm told there are a bunch of pamphlets and such for the "lost cause" in the collection of my family in Louisiana.
I recall seeing a poster for the "daughters of the south" (not confederacy but maybe a branch) which worked to rewrite history. Explained by a very woke looking fellow here.

Attendees must be disgusted. Imagine attending "Bin Laden military school" as an American cadet?
Didn’t know the confederacy still existed, my history book says Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox?
I guess some people still hold on to ideas from the past, regardless if they actually exist today.
Just as the US eugenics movement inspired the Nazi's eugenics resulting in millions of deaths, the spectacular rewritten history propoganda of the South must have had some reach there also but the same thing found across cultures and continents.
The past can be rewritten but rarely entirely, mind you the Judaeo/Christian/Islamic past is pretty close with everything before 597 BC being basically just made up or combined fragments of various tribes and other cultures. Plenty of loose threads though, underpainting showing through perhaps.
Don't have an especially interesting past? Everyone says you are a dumb cult and picking on you? No problem, belief creates reality right?
Norman Vincent Peale was the Trump family minister. Well while Donny never been original in his life, just copies, steals and takes credit, can't argue he does not stick to a few things.
"Change your thoughts and you change your world."

Or everyone else's thoughts.

glad you agree on removal of statues & renaming of bases since you have no problem with "letting go of the past"
It should exist in history books and museums but a group of Southerners want it to reemerge and go back to ye old Dixie days
I wouldn't rename anything while I was being threatened.
The iconography of the New Rebels looks racist to me. You have no moral basis to demand anything.

I guess the same thing could be said for reparations or the whole excuse of blaming the actions of people who died 100 years ago for anything. People should be judged on their character and how they lead their lives today, not grouped and stigmatized by biased racial misconceptions. The door swings both ways.
I’d bet the vast majority of people could care less about a bunch of civil war statutes and most, if not all of those opposing them could tell you from memory, or bring prompted, who they were or what they did.
This whole virtue signaling false narrative is nothing more than an attempt to stir hatred and divide.
