              A similar illustration could be made with the comments of GOP politicians about Trump in 2015-16

                It's a lot better than this replacement.

                Now see what was replaced. In my view it did not honor the Confederacy or its generals so much as it did the reconciliation between the sides.

                  You beltway types might remember this.

                  The Mormon Temple, just off the DC beltway is a striking design. The way it is situated it kind of pops into your view suddenly. If you hadn't seen it before it can be a bit of a surprise.

                  It was part of my daily commute for a while.

                  I don't remember having seen the message on the overpass.
