‘Is the Statue Shit Going to Work?’
July 6, 2020 at 11:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Two individuals close to the president told the Daily Beast last week that they believe devoting so much time and energy to defending lifeless statues—a kick that started with sticking up for ones honoring racist dead Confederates—will likely fail to help rejuvenate his sagging 2020 campaign and close the wide polling deficits that former Vice President Biden has opened up.”

“Both sources independently said they intended to gently implore Trump to take a different approach. One of the sources said they had already told Trump in recent days that making statue fetishization a cornerstone of the re-election pitch amounted to a ‘distraction’ that wouldn’t help move the necessary votes into the president’s column by the election in November.”

Said one: “The question now is: Is the statue shit going to work?”

1. I hope not

I doubt that statues to dead traitors are as important as a global pandemic that is ravaging our country badly right now but there is always the remote possibility that I could be proven wrong

2. The statues coming down are mostly CONFEDERATE ones who betrayed the US...

While the Founding Fathers are finding fault with their pasts coming to light, the fight to form an independent country with laws, they did not forsee that the fight for Human independence would be even greater. They were not without fault.

3. His people gotta be in a panic right about now...

they can't even rig the vote without it stinking to high heaven and losing in the courts.

It's all over now, baby Don...

4. I would strongly urge Trump to double down on this strategy

Because it is aimed directly at his base and would likely push independents away in November.

5. Hmm, protect live humans from COVID, or protect statues of dead assholes?

Gee, which will voters prefer???

6. At this point we have the momentum and if we can keep it tRUMP is done. Nothing he or his

enablers can do at this point will do them any good. Today we come for the statues, tomorrow we come for them...
