If you don't deal with prejudice and bigotry, you're probably not American. Maybe Canadian?
Democrats should keep attacking Trump for cozying up to Nazis and racists, rather than letting him reframe things about Civil War monuments. A lot of people are OK with leaving Civil War monuments up. Nazis is a better wedge issue, and it's more focused on him.
