    I get the feeling that it stems in part from a place of trying to own the reactionaries

    It's this, but there also a shit ton of Cope from American leftists trying to find nuggets of good in the country's history. Nooooo, we were actually good all along except for the feckless or selfish or cruel elite who just unfairly manouvered into positions of power!

    Edit

    On the contrary, the prejudice of race appears to be stronger in the States which have abolished slavery, than in those where it still exists; and nowhere is it so intolerant as In those States where servitude has never been known

      THIS. I am sick of how Sherman has just become a means for nationalists with better optics to joke about how they need an outlet for their fascistic beliefs without getting called out

        Same vibes as people who claim we need an American Carnation Revolution. It's like, who the fuck do you think is in the US military. "Progressive" officers = Pete Buttigieg.
