This is how right wing America is:
A street named after the North American equivalent of a Fascist dictator was recently renamed by the city council, and not before time.
The state's legal representative has threatened to fine the democratically elected city council for violating a law passed in 2017 specifically aimed at preserving memorials to slave traders, traitors, and dictators.
They're so much more brazen there than they are here in Europe. Nobody goes to bat for, say, a statue of Mussolini, or a street called Hitlerstrasse. In fact, such episodes are generally a cause for shame, at least on the Continent. But those bastards are actually fucking *proud* of it.
These are not normal people and we should not imitate them in any way. It is a bankrupt, violent and cruel society which is physically and socially disintegrating before the eyes of the world - and it bloody deserves to, if you ask me.
