Complete with the rewriting of their biographies, and denial of their less appealing actions.
Did you know, for example, that despite what everyone at the time knew and DNA confirmed, ol’ Tom Jefferson did NOT bang Sally Hemings? And if you say so, it’s because you hate America. Oh, and he WANTED TO release his slaves, he really did! Somehow, he just never managed it.
I was watching an interview with a snobbish Jefferson descendant one time, and she said something like “there is such a thing as a moral impossibility.” Yeah right, Jefferson wasn’t too moral to own other human beings but he was too moral to bang one?
