"History will judge them harshly."

Do you really think that matters to them? They'll be long gone when History--which can't judge anything, it can only be recorded and people learn/remember what took place--"judges" them.

And it'll be too late by then anyway. And they don't care. At all.

Can we maybe choose a different phrase? Like, say, "These vile fascists are total assholes who are destroying democracy and need to be stopped STAT"? How's that?

You're welcome. #ImPissed

The fact that the divide in America between left and right is such as it is, and centred around the issues which it is, at present, demonstrates - quite obviously - that history won't necessarily judge tyrants/fascists/whatevers harshly, because the victors write the history, and indoctrination is powerful

History is "the study of the human past as it is described in written documents left behind by humans," not something that makes judgments. ... it can''t judge. Only people can, based on that documentation/memory. The phrase annoys me.

The other point is that these morons don't care because they'll be dead once they're "history."
