Judging today based on historical standards and judging the past based on today's standards.
Both are polar opposites of of each other but being widely used today, especially by the radical left as well as the uninformed.
On one hand we have historical figures being wiped from sight based on today's so called acceptable standards.
On the other hand we have people claiming historical figures (Reagan, King etc) would apply today's standards to their historical positions.
Both are ridiculous and are unprovable because the political climate of yesterday is not the same as today.
The radical left wants to preach that we must learn from history by studying it at the same time they strive to erase it. When it suits their cause they are all to happy to point to historical travestys in their arguments all the while trying to whitewash that history. Then they go on to make baseless proclamations about what certain historical figures would do or say based on modern political thinking.
It's all a bunch of bullshit masquerading as fact to win over the gullible or to win an argument that they otherwise could not win based on the facts as we know them today.
