   Wednesday, the state of Virginia removed the 12-ton statue of Confederate Gen.   
   Robert E. Lee more than 130 years after it was installed amid efforts to change   
   the collective memory of the Civil War.   
      
   Despite its massive size, it was lifted from its pedestal in one piece and is   
   headed for storage. Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, was there as the statue   
   came   
   down and appeared pleased by its removal. A crowd also chanted and cheered as   
   Lee — atop a horse — was lifted into the air by a crane.

   Democrats are pleased by the removal of memorials to traitor scum, while   
   Republiscums/QAnon want to keep them in place.  Tell me again which is the   
   party   
   that supports segregation and Jim Crow .  This is all you need to know   
   to realize the parties switched completely on race.
