Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it “remains a blight on our state and should be removed.” Lawmakers and civil rights groups have called for the removal of Confederate symbols at the memorial for years. After the 2015 shooting deaths of nine black worshipers by a white supremacist in Charleston, several legislators pushed for a boycott until Rebel flags at the site come down.
Gov. Nathan Deal quietly struck Confederate Memorial Day from the state’s official holiday calendar and removed the statue of a segregationist leader from the state grounds. State-issued license plates featuring the Rebel emblem have been altered, though only slightly. Statues and paintings of Confederate leaders in the statehouse are facing fresh criticism. And the state is set to unveil a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. outside the Capitol this month. Abrams faces state Rep. Stacey Evans in next year’s Democratic primary, and the race has quickly turned testy. She has faced criticism for refusing to rebuke protesters who chanted “support black women” at Evans at a progressive conference over the weekend.

In the 90s, democrats would demonize republicans and run them out of office for suggesting confederate flags be removed. Republicans finally started to accept the heritage view of the flags. Tolerating the difference of views. Now democrats use race/identity politics as their sole argument for everything and are using the same issue to demonize people for coming around to the view they once advocated.
Dems try this every year.
Its on private property.
Democrats are Orwell's Ingsoc.
All you have to do is read 1984 or Animal Farm to see how they operate.
Open violence is the only thing they have yet to implement.
Good God, I used to be one of them.
This country is about to go insane.

Were going to have a war over this shit, ain't we?
What are they going to accomplish by removing all links to the past? Those who do not know history are damned to repeat it.
