The violent “protestors” are so ignorant that they don’t know what they’re upset about.

Just asking --

How do we know that it wasn't taken down by some right-wing counter-protesters?

Yes, they are stupid.

We are talking about a generation that is incapable of discerning between US Grant and Robert E Lee. They probably thought Douglas was Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Can you imagine the level of minds it takes to do this? Well, you do not have to. It's on TV every day.

I've been waiting for this to happen for this very reason. Next up - MLK and Rosa Parks.

These destructive morons should have been stopped the minute they circled the first statue.

Just answering --

The Right does not topple statues and vandalize, katharsis. That is the Left's game.

Not to mention, most on the Right know who Frederick Douglas was and LIKE him. He was a brilliant man and it was despicable of the leftist malcontents to do this.

He was also, a former slave, self taught, and an advisor to Lincoln. They don't know or care about history, They just destroy, block roads, kill children, break glass, physically attack people (especially Police), and foment hate. A mob is just that, an unthinking mass of anarchists bent on unlawful mayhem.

Hate blinds people, when people only hate, they can't know the truth. That's what happens when you are only guided by feelings. There is no Logic, reason, and/or knowledge involved in decisions. They're mantra is: ''Don't confuse me with the facts, I've already made up my mind.''

The cancel culture club children don't care, they just want to take it all down.
This is Obama's legacy. This is his scheme to Fundamentally transform America. The 10-12 year old kids of his reign have been taught well in the schools of indoctrination and they are now out on there destructive path. What will we be facing in another 10 years?



They tell us that Trump is a nationalist as if instilling pride in our great country is a bad thing but what are the Democrats that seek to tear it all down?



The children are misguided, ignorant of history and they are being used as tools to disrupt and spread fear.
