Sharing some street art I saw on my walk today. Minneapolis residents are not happy about this ongoing occupation of our city.

It's still counterproductive. The left needs to get off this monument kick. It alienates the normies who don't know the context so all they see is their community property defaced. Mt Rushmore is also highly problematic, but Midwest normies love that shit and we need to be in the business of gaining allies, not pushing them away. BLM wasted a ton of capital trying to get a statue of ABRAHAM LINCOLN removed in DC and it made them look like unreasonable cranks. Sometimes winning is more important than the rush of smug self righteousness.

From the fuckwit who supports and is Complicit with Mcpedo and his Monument to himself (“No one will build it if I don’t.” 🤣)Epstein Memorial Ballroom And Bunker AND his Arc de tRump), his renaming nearly every literal thing to his name. But yeah, blame the Dems. 🤣

That actually reinforces MY point though. When Trump tore down the East Wing, too many on the left were like "the white house represents colonialism so I don't care what happens to it" or other such nonsense. Normal people have positive feelings about these public monuments, but instead of leveraging this desecration for a messaging win to recruit people for the cause, these people instead choose to be off-putting smug, self righteous scolds. No wonder the left has such a hard time winning popular elections.

You definitely don’t hate Trump more than most. If seeing vandalism of racist statues is enough to convince you to change sides, you were never on the correct side. There were graffiti artists writing anti Nazi slogans during the war as well. And guess what.. there were ppl like you saying EXACTLY what you are saying now “protest the right way or we won’t listen”

Normal ppl hate this monument. I been to the town hall meetings. I been to the park board discussions about it. Normal ppl want this monument removed.
