Anyone who objects to this erasure of history will be painted as a racist white supremacist.
That was the purpose of the play in Charlottesville.
They hope to generate more demonstrations so Antifa & BLM can start violence, which gets blamed on conservatives and Trump.
What angers me the most are the establishment Republicans who are so desperate to stay in the liberal elites' good graces that they not only refuse to speak up, but in some cases (e.g. airhead and multiculturalism advocate Nikki Haley) side with the Left in tearing down these monuments and helping the Left erase American history. Either they're too stupid to realize that Confederate statues are just the beginning, or they're aware of the Orwellian program and simply don't care.
