In college I tried to stage a protest where we dressed up as British Redcoats waving a union jack flag at my state’s capitol ostensibly protesting in favor of putting a Benedict Arnold statue next to a Confederate statue and just parroting talking points people bring up about the Confederate statue. I was going to call the group “The Sons of Loyalist Veterans” and talk about how we are just celebrating our heritage, not hate, and that we don’t hate America we just want to celebrate our Loyalist ancestors and Loyalist hero Benedict Arnold. Unfortunately I couldn’t get anyone to go with me and chickened out.
