We'll pretend these are the only statues people complaining about the recent removal of statues are complaining about, because even with these examples, the racist motivation for the complaints is obvious. But, let's pretend this is an honest complaint. Which statue of Lincoln was removed? Which statute of Washington was removed? Which statue of Roosevelt was removed? Which statue of Franklin was removed? What reason did the people removing them give for their removal? 1 Link to comment

Turns out you can lie to their face and they don’t know or care about the difference. Their gullibility is predicated on what they want to believe, not on right/wrong or true/false or fact/fiction. You are talking about the Nebraska electorate? They keep voting "the good life" conservative Republicanism each election cycle. Deb Fisher and Ben Sasse are a complete joke. 2 1 Link to comment

Speaking of Sasse what has he said about the FBI warrant and the classified documents? Has he been quiet or supportive of trump? Link to comment

But we both know they all had statues take down don’t really care what sham dishonest reason was given for the statues of these particular people. 1 1 Link to comment

I'm not as up to date on Republican outrage porn as some. So I don't "know they all had statues taken down." I think you're stretching the truth. You could prove me wrong by providing a story for each of those people you listed off. Wouldn't that be fun? 2 1 Link to comment
