There is a major highway named after Robert E. Lee running through Hilary voting Northern VA. Shit is more complicated than you think.


There is a street in Chicago named for Italo Balbo. Sometimes things are complicated, but sometimes it's just inertia, and when Chicago eventually removes the name of a (literal) Fascist leader from it's street, we'll all wonder, what the fuck was wrong with us for so many decades that we let that go?


Northern Virginia was obviously the center of the rebellion. There are hundreds of confederate monuments all over that state. I don’t let them off the hook either.
