5. I made a post here years ago

I asked about the theoretical possibility that if George Washington and Robert E. Lee had switched birth dates, could we be honoring Lee as "father of our country" and Washington as the failed confederate general.

Oh boy. People acted like I served them the pie from "The Help." The pushback was epic. One comment still stands out as representative: "George Washington was a hero. Lee was a traitor. Case closed!"

And regarding your comment on the system being designed more for maga-types, I was just thinking last night (again) that if a black president performed like this ignorant charlatan, they would have been dead long ago. No joke. The military, the Secret Service and all other security mechanisms around would have revolted and allowed violent magas to have at it.

This country, in general, still has way too much fealty for white men dedicated to the preservation of while male privilege (duh).
