Voters tend to agree with President Trump’s defense of historical statues, and few think getting rid of Confederate monuments will lessen racial tensions in America.

Despite widespread media condemnation of the president’s response following the recent incident in Charlottesville, Virginia, 50% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with Trump’s Twitter tweet that it is “sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.” The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 37% disagree, while 12% are undecided.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ...

Orwell had it right...these groups are exactly what he prophesied in his book "1984".............. Antfia, BLM, Obama's OFA, George Soros's Democracy Alliance and Move On .org and his Open Society foundations, CAIR and many others who fund the aforementioned groups and many more...all are Socialistic/Marxist and infiltrated with terrorist, thugs, gang members and other un-American misfits.

How many states have a law that prohibits protesters from wearing hoods or masks?

“and few think getting rid of Confederate monuments will lessen racial tensions in America.”

Tearing down the monuments is not going to do a damn thing in that regard. It is about tearing down the United States and rebuilding it into some socialist “paradise”.

Things are looking up! Most of us have more common sense than our politicians. Also,...

Actually, four White Girls, (really cute White Girls in short shorts) wearing MAGA Hats while eating Lunch at Howard University is the lynch pin of Racial disharmony.

Did I say “lynch”? Sorry about that.

[while 12% are undecided.]

Meaning an additional 12% agree, but don’t want to answer and be accused of racism...

Q. How will the Left manage to avoid Civil War II?

A. Wipe out any traces of the first one.

Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it.

There are a lot of people in the South whose grat-grandfather or great-great grandfather fought for the South. Are they just going to sit there and watch the Fascists piss on their graves?

[mellow velo]

Yeah, just like electing the first (half) black president was going to lessen racial tensions, too!

Pretty much or who hate polls.

Only 50%. Truly sad.

Interestingly, blacks (43%) and other minority voters (42%) are more likely than whites (38%) to believe the removal of the Confederate statues will hurt race relations.

Most 'whites' know that while this is being 'done in the name of' black citizens - that it's really white liberal elites behind it. White liberal elites are known for taking offensive actions against traditional Americans and blaming it on minorities... we're catching on to democrat's creepy tactics.

Still trying to figure out why PBS showed an hour long show on Ken Burn’s The Civil War last night. Basically went against everything the alt left believes.

[Crucial]

It passed 213,000. I don’t see why it won’t hit 250,000.

[The Toll]

It doesn’t matter what Americans want. It doesn’t matter what Europeans want.

All whites must die! The One World Left has decreed it.

“How many states have a law that prohibits protesters from wearing hoods or masks?”

Quite a few, IIRC, but laws are almost never enforced...if you have a Communist governor or mayor, you will just have to put up with it, plus the hijab-wearing Muzzies will sue their pants off!!!/sarcasm
