I really, really, really dislike Mulvaney, so on that scoreā¦ good.
As regards Meadows? SSDD, only more so. Youād have to use an endoscope to locate his lips in Trumpās ass.

Thatās a rather problematic example, though.

OTOH, as you probably know, he apparently did say this:
For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all Parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.
- Speech in the House of Commons (January 23, 1948), cited in The Yale Book of Quotations (2006), Fred R. Shapiro, Yale University Press, p. 154

A straightforward reading of āthe victors write the historyā is obviously false. See, for example, the Confederate influence on the historiography of the Slaverās Revolt.
But I have some sympathy for a revised version: examining who wrote the history gives you clues about who the real victors were.

He said heād prefer that people exposed to the virus on a cruise ship be left aboard so they wouldnāt be added to the count for the nationās total number of infections.

āItās an unforeseen problem,ā Trump said of the virus. āIt came out of nowhere. Weāre taking care of it.ā

Thatās excellent additional info. But I donāt see how itās problematic, when the point being made was that our history textbooks teach us a false narrative in which white citizens of the US are always in the right and always heroes, even when doing what they say is wrong for others to do. I think your point adds, rather than negates.

Iāve been watching the first season of the Crown, and they have him say that lineā¦
Indeed. The example of lost cause mythology is a perfect encapsulation. New voices have been evidence since the 50s and 60s, and this helps explains whatās been happening with the field of history.

I think thatās what @Wanderfound is trying to sayā¦ they ālostā the war, but won the peace kind of thing. The fact that white supremacist view of the war was common place in textbooks until relatively recently, and once that started to be revised, history started to become something that we as a society ādidnāt needā for our labor force.
Right. This is true even as the historiography has shifted to say that slavery was the cause of the civil war. They are still heroic, the Alamo guysā¦
