It's embarrassing that I knew what this thread would be about before even looking at the context, I'm not even American.
Meanwhile, in the Senate, GOP-led SASC approved Warren's amendment:

Breaking this hour: GOP-led Senate Armed Services Committee has adopted an amendment behind closed doors for Pentagon to remove the names of Confederate generals from military assets within three years, @mkraju @tedbarrettcnn reporting
9:07 AM - Jun 11, 2020
Confirming @nielslesniewski, the committee adopted the amendment by Elizabeth Warren behind closed doors. The amendment would create independent commission to review and develop a detailed plan for removing the names from bases, installations, facilities, aircrafts, ships, planes https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1271066428704280576 …

Manu Raju @mkrajuThe amendment to remove Confederate names could still be stripped out as it makes its way through the legislative process. But if Trump were to veto such a bill, it would be a big risk given the popular defense measure sets policy for the Pentagon. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/11/politics/senate-confederate-leaders-names-from-military-assets/index.html …

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarrenAs a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I filed an amendment to the annual defense bill last week to rename all bases named for Confederate generals. It's long past time to end the tribute to white supremacy on our military installations. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/take-confederate-names-off-our-army-bases/612832/ …

Steadman™ @AsteadWesleyI'd say there's some tension between the Republican arguments that Democrats were the pro-slavery traitors and their insistence on honoring them w/ statues

I don't remember all this hand-wringing about statues when all the ones depicting Lenin and Stalin were coming down in the early '90s, or when the Saddam Hussein ones were being toppled.
Quite the opposite, it was being celebrated.

Y'all, don't forget that Trump is a white supremacist who's surrounded by white supremacists.
It's eerie, how insidious this quote reads, when you view it through the lens of a white supremacist who sees this moment in time as the tipping point to usher in the white ethnostate longed for by their forebearers.
Isn't he already denying his own history, like them old tweets where he complained that Obama want golfing when the US was in crisis, but heself can golf as an POTUS even under a crisis?
he just don't know when to say the right thing at the right time
he just don't know when to say the right thing at the right time
Trump has undone everything Obama accomplished and now he's going to settle the score with Lincoln.
And he's not even using it correctly.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" is the actual Santayana quote.
We can remember the past just fine without racist statues and military base names looming over us.
Ugh, I wish he would just stay in there, and leave us all the hell alone!
i guess defunding education is okay if you think people can learn history by looking at statues.
when do you guys think was the last time donald trump read a history book

I once saw trump carrying around a dozen copies of world book encyclopedia. I asked him if he needed, and he said "What? What?" and nervously glanced behind a few times. I asked again and he called me smokey and told me to stay in school. This was before the election though so who knows what he was up to.
