        1/2 Imagine teaching history in a hundred years from now and reading that the confederate statues came down while Trump was president. The students will be like “Wow, Trump was a stern supporter for social justice!“

        2/2 The teacher will be able to explain that sometimes the worst in someone brings out the best in others. They’ll explain that indirectly, Trump DID make America great again. He taught that it works to resist hateful policy and ideology.

        And they all should be prosecuted for vandalism. If the wanted the statue gone they should have gone to a city council meeting and proposed the idea. We live in a democracy, follow the rules and you can accomplish great things.

        Stupid children tear down a statue made of metal and Stone because they say it represents racism but they have no problem using American currency which has the faces of slave-owning presidents on it kind of ironic shows you their stupidity

        I know where they can stick him. 🤔 1918 Mary Turner, who after denouncing her husband’s lynching by a rampaging white mob, was hung upside down, burned and then sliced open so that her unborn child fell to the ground.pic.twitter.com/QLj8VxItGB

        These aren't "protestors". Look at the photo. This is a bunch of entitled thugs trying to justify their violent disgraceful behavior. These guys are the problem, not the solution.

        What about sexism? Martin Luther king slept with any woman breathing. Should we also erase him too? Everything offends some one anymore.

        Who exactly is knocking over these Confederate Statues? Who is Antif? Who is the majority of the Republican party? White people don't agree with you they are sick of ignorant fools like you. You make them look and feel terrible. Wake up my man
