How has FDR avoided the wrath despite the Japanese internment camps?

“””“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
Orwell - “1984”
It’s been posted before, but needs to be repeated, LOUD & clear!”””

I agree and I am repeating it LOUD AND CLEAR.

When will the book burning begin? Soon it will not be a matter of them coming for guns, no they will come to burn our copies of 1984.

I guess Rocky’s statue is next. Some idiot is going to say just because it’s a statue.

Ping me when they tear down the Mary Tyler Moore statue in Minneapolis.

You might have a point. It wasn't Mary's talent or skill that got her that job at WJM; it was her white privilege.

I hope they are protecting Mount Rushmore, no telling what these commies are going to do.

It's only a matter of time before someone rappels down the face with a hammer and chisel just to vandalize it.

American cultural jihad moves forward. It’s going to take federal intervention to stop it.

TR was the first President after the Civil War to invite a black man into the White House on a social call, Booker T Washington. He can heck for it but that counts for nothing now. Ignorant ba$tard$.

He was, Progressives were huge racists. Put up a statue of the first Black President, Warren G Harding.

FDR, JFK and MLK statues are going down...count on it.

The first two were white, the third thought that content of character mattered more than race.

a time when the killing of George Floyd has initiated an urgent nationwide conversation about racism.

Really no need to be all that urgent. The dude is dead. There's plenty of time.

Did you know that FDR used “confidential” US census data to track down those Japanese families so they could be located and imprisoned?

Remember that the next time you answer questions of the US Census Bureau.

I thought we were supposed to be putting them into museums. Now I'm confused.

Trump will do nothing and Mount Rushmore will be destroyed. He thinks it is great watching this catastrophe.

Woodrow Wilson was a tyrannical asshole who imported commie terrorists into the US. But I still hope that there was a debate and a vote before this happened.

I was getting ready to post the same thing. He was vilified for it.

But, it’s NYC which has a new commissar of statues: Chirlane Irene McCray, Mayor DeBlasio’s wife. She’s the one who picked a trannie rather than Mother Cabrini for “important NYC women” statues.

He is one of the only Democrat Presidents the 30+ generation likes. They are all about the National Parks.

But shucks I thought throwing those racist southerners under the bus was a good thing.

They should take Rocky down. Everybody knows Clubber Lang would’ve kicked Rocky’s ass, but the racists deprived him of his title.
