They got upset because Columbus has been “Cancelled” due to all the awful shit he did. So this is their way to “stick” it to the libs.
All they do it performative theater. They don’t actually know or care about Columbus, only that by praising him it upsets people with a conscience, so they keep doing it.
It’s like they can’t cope with knowing that their prescious america was named after an Italian guy. It conflicts with their deeply ingrained belief that the name “America” was somehow ordained by God at the founding of the world.
I wonder what would happen if we tell them Colombus’s name wasn’t really “Christopher”…
There are much more admirable paisans out there. Guglielmo Marconi. Galileo Galilei. Luigi Mangione. Luciano Pavarotti. Leonardo da Vinci.
C’mon man.
Of course, but Columbus was pivotal in the massacre of millions of native people. Of course the Trump team wants a statue of him.

It really is just that.
This is what happens when the elementary school bully grows up without getting a good punch in the face along the way.
Awful shit aside, and it was awful shit, Columbus has nothing to do with north america. He never set foot on what we now call the USA.
They didn’t think they could get away with a slaver confederate general.
Oh they’ll get there.
Don’t forget my man Chuck
Feels so good
jokes aside, this is my favorite jazz album
Amerigo Vespucci would make more sense than Columbus if we’re looking for explorers.
They would short-circuit if they realized america was named after an italian guy…
You mean Leonardo di Caprio
It’s so funny how they sleep on Amerigo Vespucci.
