Columbus brought disease, cruelty and a cross.
I posted an item on Montana History, Mysteries and Memorabilia on Facebook. It was Columbus/ Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I made the mistake of mentioning how European diseases brought to the Americas by Columbus and those who followed him had decimated Native American populations. (The article was about the 1837 Smallpox Epidemic.)
Almost immediately 3 MAGAts started screaming about how unfairly Columbus is being treated and calling others names.
I posted this and then deleted the original post:
“I certainly didn’t post this to start a war over Columbus. My apologies for connecting the 1837 Small Pox epidemic to him. Like him or hate him, Columbus had little to do with Montana history. My bad. Having said that, anyone who wants to fight over Columbus, European contact or call folks brainwashed is welcome to discuss their feelings on Twitter. James Davies “

don’t you just love folks who think with their emotions? Sorry this happened to you, Larry. I’d have deleted the post, but not sure about offering alternative discussions. I am not that strong. You’re a good thinker.
