I know! They’ll remove Columbus and put up a statue of Margaret Sanger ... Famous explorers are bad, but racist eugenicists/abortionists are good!

EXACTLY!! She started this crap more so since she is a never Trumper. Since she is first generation American is why I support seeing second generation Americans run for political office and not first.

It’s amazing how people are freaking over memorials to a man who didn’t even set foot on the current US mainland.

Nikki was the first governor to order statues to be removed and the Confederate Flag. Give then an inch well you should know.

Did she actually scrap the 1st Virginia flag from the capitol grounds, or merely move it from the top of the capitol dome?

BY taking it down and banishing it from Capital grounds she legitimized the erasure of history.

I don't know about the 1st, but the 28th is here in Minnesota and we're never giving it back.

I wasn’t aware that John Sutter was a real person and Sutter’s Mill actually existed.

I know the Dan Fogelberg song “Sutter’s Mill” and assumed it was fiction.

Wow.

Confederate flag — I’m just calling it what it was originally called, IIRC.

Wow, I didn't know about that one. That was the definition of stupid. want nothing to do with idiots like that silly civil guard or proud boys. Makes conservatives look bad IMO. Not the kind of push back I endorse. almost like it was staged and someone who wasnt in on it went to far with it

what a nightmare

"I am in the Portland Oregon area, to put a Trump sticker on my truck would be suicide"

I got a blue line sticker on the back of my vehicle. With the blue being reflective for better visibility. And it's on a white vehicle which makes the black bars above and below the blue line and the whole sticker all the more eye catching. I live in the suburbs but the city line is not to far away and them no good freaks been rioting in my city for the last 2 or 3 weeks now. I got a family member that's a police officer and I'm not about to take that sticker off my car. I am not gonna bend to the will of domestic terrorists in my city.

I try to avoid running down into the city as much as possible with that "I support the police" sticker on my car, but tonight I had to run down in real bad enemy territory. But it was raining tonight. So I figure I didn't have a problem because them no goods didn't wanna get their little selves wet in the rain and stayed inside tonight. I'm not kidding. I am not taking that sticker off my car. What ever happens is whatever happens.

If everybody who actually appreciates the society of law and order that they live in would stand up and show their support for the police the bad guys would see that they are outnumbered and shut up and fade into the background. But no one wants to offer risk to themselves by showing support. They just want the police to take all the risk and allow themselves to be contented with that while they watch their America they love go down in flames. Can you imagine if you were driving down the street and you saw cars left and right and everywhere with blue line stickers on their cars what a signal that would send to these piece's of crap who are trying to overturn our society?

Way to piss off Italian voters. They will let the Democrat/Commies/Hispanic extremists know that they VOTE in November.

Thinking the demonrats want to replace these statues with the statues of Marx and Lenin that were knocked down in Russia.

Yes. Sutter has an interesting and tragic story and his life is part of what once was part of the ‘Story of the Americans’.
