And Georgia just authorized messing with it, starting with putting an MLK tribute on top in a spirit of conquest.

The original monument didn't send a clear political message?

Defiance? Resilience? To some people, oppression and conquest?

It might be nice to think that it was apolitical and unifying and reconciling, but was it really any of that?

It is a symbol of sons and daughters of the confederacy. Leave it be and put up your Marxist leader monument in Cuba or China

If you can’t withstand seeing symbols of the South, stay out of the South. How difficult is that?

Let’s say Stone Mountain is a declaration of the loyal opposition - consenting to federal rule so long as Southern culture is respected. Desecrate the memorial and, well, game on again.
