The democrats are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one. Google "
confederate monuments poll" and you'll see even the most left-leaning sites can't find the overwhelming support that they are acting like they have. The rest show a majority against the Democrats. The Democrats, on the verge of total destruction, have chosen to fight a lost cause, over a superficial issue.
In the 2018 elections the Republican Party going to gain that last State Legislature that stands in the way of us being able to rewrite the American Constitution without any support from Democrats.
Then the Democrats will say, "
well, the constitution is gone, but at least we got to move a few statues around, that's a fair trade, right?"
Then we'll pass a constitutional amendment putting the statues right back again.
