    you’d think a person posting on leftymemes would understand that the OP is criticising liberals from the left

      For sure. I mean you can go back to the 1700’s and the people advocating for treating native populations with kindness and care were all liberal. Perhaps not all people who called themselves liberal though agreed with this.

      The conservatives back then viewed them as sub human to be used and abused.

      One of my points about viewing these times with a modern lense is they knew even back then that we were mistreating natives. So it is some ways fair to judge them for what they did.
