Well, the celebration of our birthday has come and gone. Sorry, this post sort of fell at the bottom of the pile, given the ‘woke’ riots that have erupted nationwide. Brands are rushing for the bunkers, fearful of being torched by these left-wing crybabies. The media is as unhinged as ever. And now, even as the Fourth of July fireworks have long gone quiet, the statue debate is still ongoing.
Yeah, I think you all know by now that this wasn’t about Confederate statues. My eyes rolled incessantly seeing fellow right-leaning writers declare that we needed to stop defending people like Stonewall Jackson, one of the finest corps commanders this country ever produced, and someone we’re lucky who was not around by the time of the Battle of Gettysburg. This is American history. It’s nasty. It’s not pleasant but destroying a statue doesn’t end racism. And not talking about it doesn’t erase it either, but that’s the intent here. To channel Jackson, this is the flank march at Chancellorsville. Distract the public with trashing the Confederacy, only to wipe out everyone else who was problematic in the Left’s eyes. The Founding Fathers, Columbus, Ulysses S. Grant, and other memorials to Union soldiers. Folks, Abraham Lincoln is now a symbol of white supremacy. You’ve all seen this and know about it, so what the hell is going on? Well, part of it is that this just progressivism at its base level.
They hate America.
They hate our history.
And they’re all in all just miserable who need to complain about everything.

The second part is what Matt Taibbi hit on in a July piece about how this “Year Zero” stuff also could be grounded in the elites in both parties trying to hit a hard reset after their bad behavior was exposed by Donald Trump and the 2016 election. As a result, their allies in the elite media have engaged in nonstop hysteria that has treated everything Trump does as unprecedented. It’s mind-numbingly stupid.
