Sure, let's take a look at the Republican Party's stance on the Confederacy
For starters, I'm not a "soi-disant historian."
Lots of places call me a historian, in fact -- the institutions that awarded me a BA, MA and PhD in History, the one that employs me as a professor of history, the OAH and AHA too.
Remind me: what are your qualifications again?
Now, luckily, there have been a considerable number of clashes over Confederate monuments, memorials, and symbols in recent years, clashes which have forced the two parties to state their positions clearly.
Let's take a look at who's defending the Confederacy and who isn't.
Look at the logic. He\u2019s found a handful of Trump supporters waving a Confderate flag; ergo, Trump and the GOP are the party of the Confederacy. Mind you, this is coming from a soi-disant historian! https://t.co/9SFk9HyRDt
