Those on the left who call Robert E. Lee a traitor and call for statues of him to be torn down have no interest in the historical facts or good faith debate. They only want to sow strife and division within America, so it’s not worth it to engage them on the merits of the argument. It’s all a ploy anyway. They wish to leverage the destruction of statues and American history into political power. Historical nuance and complexity are inconveniences to these people, roadblocks on the path to their political goals.
Leftists don’t really care about racism or slavery or justice. They only care about tearing down America’s history and its heroes, about destroying the common history and identity that make America what it is. A nation without a common history or identity is no nation at all, and that’s the left’s ultimate aim.
