Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.

The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.

Are their any statues of Marx and Lenin on public property in the US?

I know of none.

That was exactly the dynamic in play. Virginia didn’t secede until after Lincoln called for 10,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion after Fort Sumter. At the time Lee had his interview with Lincoln, Virginia was still in the Union.

MLK and Lincoln Memorials should be the reprisal - when this Regime Falls.

The entire Black history museum will eventually be melted down as well, especially when the Aztecs take over America.

Every black statue will be replaced with a Moctezuma monument and the White statues will be replaced with Quetzalcoatl.

Nothing is forever. /spit

It’s time we start to focus on the fact that MLK,Jr. was a misogynist, a plagiarist, serial adulterer, and a communist sympathizer and lobby to have his holiday removed and his statues destroyed. We can’t have a national holiday and national parks dedicated to a man of such immorality.

I figured pulling down the flags the way she did would ruin her career.

Maybe it did.

She seems a Reed blowing in the wind.

She was not a bad UN Secretary under Trump.

But as soon as things changed, she blew another direction.

The States seceded.

Then they attacked. They blew it.

“Lee may have been a traitor...”

Lee was not a traitor. Traitors do their deeds in secret. Lee went with his state, chose not to be a traitor to his state. Back then, state citizenship trumped national citizenship. You had to be a citizen of a state before you were a citizen of the nation.

Some day if good people ever get back control then that new piece of “public” art needs to be melted down and turned into a statue of Donald Trump.

There was no naturalization or citizenship for states.

Anyone could move anywhere in the US as a US citizen.

Lee couldn’t stand up for his own convictions and took the Rino route to go along to get along.
