Like for over 50 years American right wingers have been fuming about the liberals having managed to turn one of "their" guys into an American icon and the conservatives have mostly had to at least pretend to respect him and his legacy in public and they've felt humiliated and emasculated about it the whole time

Now they want to make the liberals bend the knee and force them to slobber over one of their guys or risking getting fired
