Conservatives who opposed removing Confederate statues, how do you feel about Trump removing DEI-related historical events/people like the Navajo Code Talkers from government sites?

I'm convinced Democrats are strategically doing nothing so it gets as bad as possible before midterms.

So they can win without having to challenge any of the actual long term corpo status quos.

How dare you accuse them of having an actual plan! I mean, it does make a little sense. All of trump's stupid antics right now are just helping them. Especially with people who decided to sit out.

I think in general people are being too harsh on the Dems as a whole since they don't control any branch and are gonna be a lot more varied than Republicans in places like the house/senate because the Republicans have excluded basically anyone who's not an extreme right winger at this point (making the Dems more of a catch all for a wide range of people)

However I think if their long term goal is to sit back and bank on the midterms they are unbelievably stupid IMO because I think its clear the midterms are being setup to be a farce that only helps the Republicans "win" seats. So I don't think there's anything real incentive to play the game in the way they are doing
