Throwing eggs at a picture of the “one” may be emotionally very satisfying, but I doubt its going to change many people’s voting habits

Understand something about the militant left - nothing is about reason with them. You will never win an argument with them. It's all about feelings and their internal emotional states not about any sense of reality. It's why every totalitarian state is concerned to the point of obsession about iconography - it's a means of conditioning you to accept tyranny as a fundamental truth. It's why desecrating the icons of the totalitarian state is seen as the supreme crime - it breaks the spell and makes totalitarian government impossible.

Oh I’m not concerned about the militant left. Nothing changes their minds, they’ve reached the point where the hate is so ingrained it blocks anything else from getting in.

I’m more concerned with persuading Joe Average on the streets. Stunts like this might rally the already convinced, but they are not going to reach out to anyone else.
