These are Media, and Democrat created controversies in order to be divisive, create chaos, social unrest, and keep the ant Trump narrative going. Russia didn't work, so now Trump is a RACIST! Oh, the horror, now the media has the left all wetting their beds over 100 year old statues.

If we are talking about Russia, and STATUES, we are not talking about:

Jobs, and the economy
Terrorist threats
Securing the borders
Domestic energy policy to marginalize the middle east influence
High debt, and more deficit spending
Being, a cohesive nation, not a multi-cultural, third world, divided mess

Yes all to take the focus away from real problems, and demonize a legitimate, sitting President.

Yes, I did wonder, but soon realized "statues" have become another avenue for the democrats to whine about something.

If this latest "statue flap" held any water, why did our school system teach us to be proud of our American History? Why did I waste my time getting all "A(s)" in American History? Why did we take class trips to visit our National Monuments, and why did we feel proud of our heritage? Why are scholarships offered to high school students who excel in American History? Do teachers these days have to omit part of our American history when teaching? Can they be sued for saying America is proud of its history? What about the history books?.....are they going to tear out some pages?
What a can of worms!

I'll splain it to you:

Because it's time for that crap to go.

Actually, it's well past time for it to go. Those "monuments" should have been taken down decades ago.

All who oppose America's long overdue growth beyond this silliness should seek out a safe space.

Why? Because YOU say so? Well I don't agree. Doesn't my opinion count? The left always require capitulation, and to force their will on you. Well keep it up. Your going to lose even more elections.

All you needed was a group of Alt-right privileged people to start some sort of campaign to protect statues of people they did not know or learn about.

Then you needed a bunch of followers to march carrying torches and then swinging them at people voicing their free speech.

Then you need some body driving a $40k sports car ramming into a crowd.

Yup that's all it took.

The Alt-right wanted this issue and now it's out there. The GOP has not condemned this group and back them.

It's hilarious to see lefties defend the bogus claims.

Meanwhile the left is losing more elections and whining more than before and not gaining any sympathy other than from antifa.

Not one democrat answers why the subject wasn't brought up once under the last administration!

The answer is that the democrats have nothing to offer the people who so they create issues to hide their own failures!

Welcome to 7 more years of President Trump MAGA!
