well i'll tell you, but you have to try and listen real good, ok? real good. nobody is denying history. i think they hated those statues as symbols of their longtime and continued oppression. just like you guys are crazy about flags, they hated those statues. and look! a lot of the statues are destroyed now, but the history is still there. everybody wins.
now about hating the country, you'd really need to ask them, but my read is that they're just really pissed about being treated as second-class citizens. for illustration, imagine that the GOP gets completely swept in the November elections, and Biden and Congress start to rebuild the programs and policies that Trump and the Senate were dismantling. how would you feel about that? all you have to do here is try to see the thing from another person's point of view. it's interesting, isn't it, that everyone's basically the same except for the ability to do that. good luck.
