Actually, I am posting articles from Newsweek and the Washington Post.

Please tell me why you need these statues. And yeah, I do get to decide in my state.

They want to completely overthrow the U.S. government.

I'm just a moderate dem but yes I would love to get Trump out of office. If that is overthrowing the US government, then so be it.

They are not being destroyed, simply relocated OFF public property and the like, if a museum wants them to display indoors that's where they will go

Either sanctioned by the government or citizens going rogue I don't think the statues would come down without a riot.

Probably not because the media will say they are all Nazis or racist, they'll be banned on the internet and terminated from employment, after the police or national guard pushes them out of the way.
