You have given a circular example but not an explanation... I don't see it, why would the example be politically incorrect? It does not seem politically correct to me.

If we have a public figure who is less popular now and one we want to honor why is it politically correct to switch them out? What does the color of the hero's skin have to do with it?

Using your logic it seems to me it would be bad to ever honor a black person anymore because you have deemed it the "politically correct" thing to do?

No, doing the right thing and the PC thing aren't mutually exclusive so that's not accurate. But replacing a dead white president with a black woman comports with the politcally correct notion that old white guys were source of many, if not all lol, of the historical ills in this country. Just ask evince, Leon or the editors of HuffPo.

In that sense, it's politically correct. I'm confident Trump meant that or something very similar.

Yeah, but it's a dead, white, shitty president. You would literally be upgrading the $20 Bill if you put Mickey Mouse on it instead of the Jackass.

We congratulate the country that no Republican member of Congress has uttered or countenanced the threats of disunion so often made by Democratic members, without rebuke and with applause from their political associates; and we denounce those threats of disunion, in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendency as denying the vital principles of a free government, and as an avowal of contemplated treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence. - 1860 Republican platform

What side would most Republicans of today be in in 1860? The Democrats SIDE!

Seems you disagree with the Republican platform of 1860!
 
Do you believe in shortening the rights of immigrants from foreign lands?

Do you believe states should be allowed to set immigration policy?

Do you believe in the protection of the rights of "all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized at home and abroad"?


That the Republican party is opposed to any change in our naturalization laws or any state legislation by which the rights of citizens hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired; and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad.
 
How about the Federal government funding the building of an East West railroad? Or the postal service?

That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively demanded by the interests of the whole country; that the federal government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction; and that, as preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail should be promptly established.

By that logic, you must love her. Aren't you glad to see she is going to be on the twenty?

I admire her. I have no thoughts one way or another as to whose picture is on our debased currency. But I understand that proles like you need constant conflict and something to fight over
 
So, you would not have been onboard with the Republican Platform in Harriet Tubman's time.... Interesting!
