You think the majority of voters, Republican and Democratic, support a group of Anarchists pulling down statues in Washington DC? Or anywhere else? Because that is what this was. It was not a spontaneous protest. Look at the photos. They brought tow straps with them.
Hell, I would guess even a majority of DU members find it unseemly. And before you respond, realize Im not necessarily supporting leaving them up. But using a Democratic process to decide which go.
Americans will not support random groups of people destroying public property.
We need to keep the big picture in mind and act strategically.
