As the alt-left, supported by members of the Democratic Party, look to tear down more and more monuments across America, the New York Times is warning that the increasing scope of the lefts iconoclasm may be alienating centrists and mobilizing the right. In an article Friday about the movement to rip down monuments and images in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, this month, the Times says the disputes have proliferated with dizzying speed and suggests that the lefts fervor has started to produce questionable results:
The article goes on to say that as the campaign moves past Confederate monuments, and begins to encompass a number of other grievances, they have become to some an example of politically correct sentiments gone too far, with the potential to mobilize the right and alienate the center.
Now, with Trump looking to be accurate in his assessment, some Democrats are getting nervous. The Times article cites Paul Begala, a Democratic strategist who warned that the Democrats are driving straight into a trap Trump has set.
While I understand the pain those monuments cause, Begala said, I just think it in some ways dishonors the debate to allow Trump to hijack it.
Begala and the Times apparent nervousness is supported by recent polls that show significant public opposition to the purging of the statues.

Ya think, NYT?
Because of this nonsense, I think we have a chance at winning the governorship of Virginia.
For once the New York Times is right. It's the old clock-that-isn't-working effect.
And it's not just purging the monuments. It's the utter insanity of the Left. The bizarre mass psychosis frightens and alienates even Left-leaning-centrists. Who wants to live in a nation controlled by a mob of paranoid schizophrenics?
So the paper of record is telling the left to slow down their rush to socialize America. The rubes might catch on to their end game and deny them access to the levers of power.
Venezuela
The hits just keep on coming.
Communism, the path to perdition...
I agree with your take on things.
there. fixed it.
Last monument standing is that of MLK. Just you watch.
Those were the exact words, with the exact spelling, I was going to post after reading the first sentence of the article.
Yep! Ideally, let's make sure everyone running for office with a (D) after their name should have to field questions on knocking down statues. Watch Democrat candidates turn into mealy-mouthed, stuttering fools for a change.
It has and thank you! See you at the polls in 2018. :)
They are actually admitting that they are just alienating “Americans”.
BTW, did we all just forget about the Russian Collusion? Did the Russians get ECLIPSED by the monuments?
It’s good when Paul BUGala and The Slimes grow nervous. :0)
They started this sh*t the very day RussiaRussiaRussia collapsed.
Their coordination is very impressive.
The NYT understands cultural marxism, and that you don’t want to crank the heat up too fast and spook the frogs.
Like Trotsky in a tutu.
They have not yet made the good folks mad enough.
Their coordination is impressive but as the NY Slimes itself admits, a process has begun that is a) beyond all control and b) sure to help Trump in 2020 (and hopefully Republicans in 2018 if they can check their own stupid/McCainiac impulses).
Here ya go. Funny, we condemned ISIS and celebrate Antifa.
Let’s see.
In the 1700’s about 1/3 of the colonists here were loyalists, 1/3 agnostic and 1/3 revolutionaries against the crown. Of the !/3 against the crown only a handfull took up arms and became traitors with a price on their heads and all they had at risk.
Sound familiar?
