Well keep in mind some of these freedoms the far right has been whining about for a couple decades is literally someone suggesting they not be an intolerant racist homo/transphobe, and that some people should feel comfortable with saying “Happy Holidays” because not everyone celebrates Xmas.

Simply acknowledging historical antecedents is not whitewashing or idealizing the past.
