Why would they erect them during the war, dummo? I never said anything about defending the statues either, I couldn't be more foreign to America's political games. I just found it so strange watching all these young protestors wailing "we ARE the revolution" while destroying monuments to an army and a people who have already long since been subjugated and pacified. "we are the status quo histrionically reasserting itself" would be more appropriate.

It's a culture war thing that has nothing much to do with the South or the Confederacy, I think. Trump is a New Yorker. The alt-right nutzees seem more Middle American and North cosmopolitan to me than Southern. Younger Americans are just not very discerning in their symbolism. They have an anime mindset, and fewer categories with which to understand the world they live in. Evangelion-brains.
