Yep, the irony that so many liberals still kneel to Sheridan as a hero, just shows what hypocrites they are. They don’t really care about the moral or social causes they supposedly champion, instead it’s about political vendettas and settling scores, with supposed virtue signaling and righteousness as a tool. In American liberals’eyes, Red State whites are the most hated enemy so much that they’ll worship a genocidal killer if he’s identified with “sticking it” to Red States that thwart the social justice warriors. The tribes themselves are hardly amused but the libs don’t care, they never really cared about the Indians they’re just tools to the libs. It’s a reason that a number of native American voters I’ve found are surprisingly inclined to vote for real conservatives like Trump, they hate hypocritical liberals who claim to champion them but then turn around to backstab them when it’s convenient.
I doubt many liberals today even know who Philip Sheridan was, let alone kneel to him and worship him.
Reality's a nice place. Hope you find your way back to it someday.
Ask nine of of ten Americans when The Civil War began and ended and they couldn’t tell you. About seven out of ten wouldn’t even know what you were talking about.
This was such a mind-blowingly silly comment that I had to come back to it. Most SJWs, BLMs, Occupods, and Antifas have never heard of Sheridan. Most Hillary, Bernie or Barack voters either don't know the name or haven't heard or thought about about Philip Sheridan in years. For most of them, he's not a part of their world.
And those who have? Would they condemn Sheridan for the Indian wars? Of course they would. Of course they do. Some might even condemn him for his conduct in the Civil War. Liberals aren't attached to Grant or Sherman. Leftists don't necessarily like Lincoln that much.
Liberals and leftists don't "worship" Sheridan or "kneel to" him as a hero. How could you ever come up with such an idea? They don't have any use for the unified, strong, capitalist America that came out of the Civil War. It wasn't liberals and it certainly wasn't leftists who put up statues to union soldiers, officers, and generals. They aren't putting wreaths on monuments. I suspect many of them would want the monuments to come down.

Some Indians voted for Trump. Some voted for Hillary. She did very well in Sioux counties in South Dakota. Less well in other parts of the country. But I doubt Native Americans have much more love for Confederates than for the bluebellies.
More to the point, those monuments to union soldiers were put up by the ancestors of Trump voters in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. You're rewriting history if you ignore the fact that most people in the Northern states weren't "liberals" in the modern sense and were proud of the union army and its sacrifices.
Next time you're tempted to say "It's all because they hate me (or some group that you're a part of) and just want to destroy me (or us)," ask yourself "Is that's the only possibility?", "Is it the most likely possibility?", "Have I done any research at all?", and "Do I really know what I'm talking about?" before posting.
