Maybe just me, but “I have nothing to offer but blood,toil,tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering” sounds a bit different than “one day Nazis will just disappear.”

Trump compares his decision to keep quiet about the COVID pandemic despite knowing its danger to Churchill telling Londoners to be calm amid the Nazi bombing campaigns.

We don't honor the founders because they owned slaves, but because of their contributions to liberty and to the nation in spite of it. Confederate monuments memorialize people in the act of committing treason to expand slavery.

I’ve never thought this argument makes any sense. Why is owning, and in some cases raping slaves any better than fighting a war to maintain slavery? This shift to the founders is simply inevitable.
