The left said we just don’t want contraception to be illegal, and now they call you names if you object to live both abortions. Democrats said we just want civil unions, and now you’re a bigot if you object to gay marriage. Same deal with guns and now (drumroll) knocking down statues.

A growing number of Democrats have publicly stated their desire to ban firearms, but some on the left still say that’s not what their incremental infringements are about, even though that is precisely what they are.
And when they came for the confederate flags and monuments in the South, someone said it (probably more than one) that it would not escalate beyond that. But, this past week, New Hampshire started a conversation about things named after Franklin Pierce (good at drinking bad at being president), and yesterday, “protesters” in Portland desecrated a statue of George Washington.
They first burned an American flag on his head and then later toppled the statue and vandalized it.
If your riots didn’t catch the average normal work-a-day Americans’ attention (sorry, ire), I think this might now officially be over the line.
You may have just destroyed your cause with the very people you need to convince, but then, you are all stupid pricks, so how could you possibly deny your very nature.
Portland wakes up to see what antifa did overnight. A century old statue of George Washington was toppled & set on fire with an American flag. “White fragility,” “Damn white men” & other messages are written on the moment. On the ground nearby: “Defund white men.” pic.twitter.com/zjrsZHJC9o

They are really and genuinely Marxist, and Fascists and nothing old can remain to interfere with their new normal. That was always a given. And they were content to advance their incremental assault until recently when it became an immoral imperative that they destroy America now.
Starting by trashing liberal run cities may not have been smart, and the folks in the burbs and flyover country were probably okay with that as long as it didn’t escalate but this? They are going to have a massive problem with this.
And you may find that many of your own Democrat supporters will have to pretend (at the very least) to have a problem with it because they are not all as stupid as you.
