Now that so many of my friends are bitching about taking down confederate statues can we reinstate Washington National Airport?

I have friends all over Facebook asking if we should now take down Mount Rushmore, rename the Washington monument, the list goes on. Blah blah.

How about when the Republicans decided we should change the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Airport? I am still pissed and baffled that they accomplished it.

Our airport named after our first president that is a D.C. Airport. I still call it National, I won’t call it Reagan. My annoyance isn’t so much that it’s Reagan, it could be Clinton, Obama, Bush, whatever, I just think we should not have changed it from Washington. I drive on Ronald Reagan turnpike all the time here, it’s fine with me they named it that, even though I’ve never heard anyone call it that. They just say the turnpike, or Florida turnpike. Although, it’s odd he got a Florida road. Still, it doesn’t bother me.
