South Dakota Republican calls BS on GOP's histrionic Mount Rushmore fundraising - RawStory

WASHINGTON — The Republican political fundraising messages are equally urgent and doomsdayist, describing an imminent threat to one of the United States’ most beloved memorials.

“Mount Rushmore DESTROYED,” blares the campaign committee of Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) in a recent email to supporters. “Radical Democrats are ramming ahead with their attempts to dismantle our landmarks and history — starting with destroying Mount Rushmore!”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) similarly warned that “we are running out of time to save Mt. Rushmore” because it could be “RIPPED DOWN” soon.

“SAVE MOUNT RUSHMORE,” shouted an email from the National Republican Congressional Committee, the GOP’s U.S. House re-election arm that Emmer led from 2019 until early this year. “Don’t allow this incredible monument to be ruined for future generations of American patriots.”

1. Republican voters are dumber than dirt.

[NewHendoLib]

2. Yes!

[Probatim]

3. Office holders are crooks - who take advantage of their fearful, idiot base.

That's the difference here.

4. Is that before or after Trump is carved onto Mt. Rushmore?

5. The voters of course.

Look, the reality is that the Democratic Party has had its share of assholes. The difference is, when we realize we have an asshole in our midst (with very few exceptions - I'm looking at you Manchin), we vote them out and otherwise end their political aspirations.

I used to like the fire with with Anthony Weiner went after Republicans. I used to say, "we need more people like him". When it came out he was sexting underage girls... dropped him. Where is his political career?

Same with Jon Edwards. He was pretty popular in Democratic circles. Found out he was a scumbag...Dropped him! You don't hear about him anymore.

In contrast, it seems the more of a lying POS a Republican is, the more secure his/her job is within the Party.

Republican voters frequently vote for the very same people who take away all of the things that have made life livable in the US. The only thing they need to hear is that Black and Brown people get hurt worse, and they are okay. That is plain dumb.

6. Oh I Agree, We ARE Self-Correcting

At the top of the Abscam pyramid, only 1 House Rep was a Republican. We've definitely had our own.

Sometimes, I think, we're too good at it.

Still not happy about the way Al Franken was handled, but that's water under the bridge.

8. Franken was not "being good at it". That was, "Ready, Fire, Aim!"

There is a fine line when actually having ethics can have bad effects.

Republicans/Conservatives don't seem to have that problem. They are laser focused on getting and keeping power, to the detriment of all. Their voters lack critical thinking skills.

10. "Ready, Fire, Aim!" - LOL, I Like That

One hopes we've learned from past mistakes, no ?

[Caliman73]

11. Definitely.

I am sure we have scared away a good number of good people with all the nonsense they have to go through.

We tend to attract good people to the Democratic Party while Conservatives/Republicans seem to reward the worst. We can also be fickle and scary sometimes... I do hope we learn to at least allow due process to run its course before just attacking.

7. So what is it we are supposedly doing to Mount Rushmore?

Dressing it up in drag? Canceling it? Making it use proper pronouns? What horror have we unleashed now?

[unblock]

12. mostly recognizing that it was sculpted by a klansman on land sacred and stolen from the lakota

it's easy for republicans to lump it into the same category as confederate statues and argue that if we're tearing down those, then we're coming after mt. rushmore, too.

but the confederate statues were and are unambiguously evil. people don't normally celebrate losers that way. the statues were erected as a statement that hey, slavery may be illegal now, but that doesn't mean we can't treat black people horribly.

i don't think mt. rushmore was created with such evil intent. and yet, it remains an insult to native americans. i've been there, it's an amazing work of art and engineering. but you do have to overlook at lot of baggage to really feel good about it.

in any event, i'm not aware of any serious plans to tear it down or cover it up or anything.

9. I expect to hear the MAGAs repeating that we want to destroy Mt Rushmore
