>>a Democratic strategist who warned that the Democrats are “driving straight into a trap Trump has set.”
I think they set their own trap, but it is nice of them to mention Trump......................<<

Remember the famous Napoleon admonition

Somebody needs to dig out a gif with the quote “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

Or just a short clip from the movie.

Ha haaaa!!! Looks like our efforts to educate people about the demonicRAT roots of white supremacy and The KKK are working!

Keep it up, y'all. Post them memes!

Thanks.

Now we need to march with signs with that quote.

There is no “may” about it. This insane ISIS like, wanton destruction of American culture and history WILL cost the Democrats dearly at the polls.

Mobilize the Right and Alienate the Center'

Anyone who is a centrist on these latest issues needs a kick in the butt. The left is acting like those girls in the Salem Witch Trials.

When is New York City changing its name?

Its offensive because the Duke of York made money in the slave trade.

Begala - one of the worst, most dishonest people on Planet Earth. This politically correct, evil attempt to get rid of Confederate flags, statues, while demonizing Washington & Jefferson preceded President Trump by at least 30 years. Who does he think he’s kidding?

It is a sign of a cultural movement that seeks to embed itself by erasing all history of anything prior to it, so that people cannot center around historical monuments or have reminders of the past.
Islam has done this repeatedly, from the Buddhas of Bamiyan to ISIS destroying artifacts in museums. The fundamentalists who wanted to destroy the pyramids were told no by the state because tourism was too important to average Muslims’ survival.
The Great Leap Forward in China did exactly this, while the French Revolution had similar demands down to changing the calendar.
Social justice warriors are one more totalitarian ideology seeking not only total control of the present but erasure of the past to tighten control.

Because of this nonsense, I think we have a chance at winning the governorship of Virginia.

LOL! Not a chance. Our nominee is a weak kneed RINO. The Post has already asked him to tear down statues or they will publish fake news stories with his KKK membership number. 1) He will promise to tear down the statues. 2) the Post will public his KKK membership number anyway.

Ha. They will have to recognize, and then speak against the Alt-Left (for example, Antifa) in order to “get right,” but then they won’t have any voters left.

What is a short-sighted, historically ignorant party to do. One wonders?

Face it, the Dems are going to go all in on this one in a hope that they can burn it all down and rule over the ashes (I didn’t make that line up).

Back in the day, when the Taliban and Mullah One Eye controlled Afghanistan, they took down an ancient statue of Buddha in Afghanistan. This created an outcry throughout the world, as a destruction of the ancient history of that area.

The mullah's had an argument that the statue was offensive in islamic Afghanistan, and they did not care for the historical heritage of their people. Revision/erasure of history was more important to them.

The modern democrats/alt left have become like the Taliban- primitive and fascist. Book burning would also be ok for the democrats/alt left. They just get to choose which books they burn.

I suggest all fellow Freepers read the comments. Most of the ones I read are starting to get alarmed with the Left with their actions. Three things you can count on in life . . . death, taxes and the Left going too far.
