This is so fucking stupid, the GOP are and have been a bunch of snakes for a long time. This is basically saying "Hey, win or lose, after Trump we're going right back to politics as usual here." All of these bases were named after Confederates that were pardoned and accepted back into the Union after the war was over. Lincoln could've had them all hung but he didn't, he chose to forgive them and avoid spilling more American blood, during the entire war he never even formally recognized the CSA as an actual nation-state, they were always dubbed rebels and he didn't even bear them any ill will. Many Confederates were even shocked at the assassination of Lincoln after the war, some even saying "The South just lost its best friend" because he didn't want these men seen as pariahs and enemies of America despite their open rebellion against the nation.
It's a damn shame to see them stamping out history like this for a bunch of angry nogs and Communists, while they're at it they might as well destroy all the grave sites to Confederate soldiers and finish destroying any sorts of memorials or monuments. None of it matters anymore. And we already know they're not stopping at the Confederacy, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, we better unperson him from the historical record, same with Franklin and Washington and the rest, we better rename Washington State and Washington, D.C. while we're fucking at it, tear down the memorials for the Revolutionary War vets while you're at it, some of them owned slaves too. Just burn it all to ashes because God only knows you need to appease these lunatics even though they'll all still hate you no matter what.
