You have attributed conditions to villainy
that simply result from stupidity.

As we sail toward Columbus Day, Madrid's “Trumpista” president Isabel Díaz Ayuso took advantage of an interview in New York this week to bash Critical Race Theory.
Díaz Ayuso warned that the theory is a "revisionist, dangerous, and pernicious" ideology that will lead to "cultural regression."
She also lambasted the Indigenous movement, calling it a "dangerous current of communism" and an "attack against Spain."
Díaz Ayuso called New York's recent decision to rename Columbus Day (now Indigenous People's Day) "fatal."
"Why are we revising the history of Spain in America," she asked, "when all it did was bring universities, civilization, and the West to the American continent?"
Her remarks echo Steve Bannon's 2014 Vatican remarks, in which he described Europe's past exploits as the foundation of a "civilization that really is the flower of mankind"
The day after the interview, Díaz Ayuso denounced Pope Francis for apologizing for the Catholic Church's support of the conquistadors.
Why vilify Spain, she asks, when the conquistadors merely made a few mistakes?
