re: Democrats Rescind Monument Protections in Virginia

What makes NO sense is the idea that taking down a statue = “erasing history”. That’s absurd and hasn’t been true since the printing press. Can someone point out one example to the contrary?

Yes. It's nothing more than skyscreaming snowflakes unable to deal with reality.

Even so, I'm more in favor of leaving these monuments to traitors up...and then adding to them. Maybe put a plaque or other display in Lee's Circle next to the statue explaining how it was a tantrum of White Supremacism that led to the construction of the monument in the first place.

You can tell all of these monumentalists are actually full of shite, though. Because when any new monuments or other acts of memorialization (like the Whitney Plantation or putting H Tubs on some money) are nominated yet disagree with whatever worldview they have, the melt is nearly complete.
