Have I been unaware of the breadth of the movement to remove Confederate monuments?

or did Trump screw over the alt-right when he could not shut his yap, and caused an accelerated effort to remove them?

If so, good work Donnie!

when that Dylan Roof asshat killed those people in a Charleston, SC church, and shortly thereafter, the Confederate flag came down at the State House in Columbia, SC.

But, recent events have indeed accelerated things somewhat. Today, my lady and I drove from SC to FL, and we passed the Jefferson Davis Highway, and the Dixie Highway, the day before, we went past Fort Bragg in NC, and I wonder when they're going to be renamed.
