re: #107 HappyWarrior

Frankly what I hate about how wingers approach history is they want us to view our founders as almost saints.

It’s not just the Founders they view as saints. For the wingnuts, everything is white or black, saint or demon, good or evil. They can’t even really acknowledge the unwelcome parts of their heroes (Reagan and gun control, taxes, etc).

It’s been a long time since I took a psych class but it always reminded me of what they call splitting.
