Trump supporters should be reminded that not even Robert E Lee supported fighting when the war ended

That is, General Lee could well have supported guerrilla warfare, but he said no. The war has ended, and we must reconcile.

I wonder what kind of history Trump was taught, that he is so careless and recalling what happened in the United States, and elsewhere.

When the election is over, the election is over. In Trump's supporters have to acknowledge that.

Live up to the standards of Gen. Robert E Lee. At least. At least.
