Is the left walking straight into a trap? I honestly don't think tearing down statues right and left is a good idea...

and worse thing is, millions of idiot boomers hang on to his every word.

nah, the DSA exists solely because of Berniebro succdems.

It's an absolute enigma that young people don't believe in the failed deadend systems that haven't been working since inception

...

The left over thinks things way too much.
Just tear the damn statues down, life will go on.

i'm getting paranoid/having a panic attack

tbh every single homage to persons living or dead should be removed from public places. Street names, statues, monuments, even place names. I'm tired of being watched over by ghosts.

You are witnessing the dialectics in motion comrade, it's bound to happen.

Not only that, but Trump's George Washington / Thomas Jefferson remark was definitely baiting people to vandalize statues…not to mention, someone wrote 'fuck' on the Lincoln Memorial this morning (although it could've been written by a lefty or righty, who knows)

The people who support Confederate monuments aren't the type of people that could have been won over to the left in any case.

Toppling Confederate monuments sends a message that we're resisting the Trump administration and the alt-right. Both started unpopular and are only sinking in the polls. This ultimately makes us look like the good guys willing to put in the work on the ground to resist the forces of the far-right, something the Democrats aren't doing. Yes, it's only symbolic, but sometimes symbolism is everything.
