a lot of anti-historian stuff comes across like “i want history to be simple and i am suspicious of people who tell me it’s not” and this is a thing you see from people on any place on the political spectrum
“historians are bad because they say [something you’ve learned from your GOP written textbook] when in reality [something you only know because historians found it out] so we cannot trust them”
“Historians ignore [thing researched by historians]!”
Your 7th grade history teacher didn’t teach you the entire sum of historical inquiry and you should have been able to figure that out on your own, actually
