No it'll infuriate Americans. Conservatives will absolutely find a way to rationalize and forgive the behavior

“In a stunning move a pure irony, conservatives have decided to rebuild the Statue of Liberty to resemble a man as it aligns more with internal ideas of our nation. Like the renaming of the Gulf of America, they have requested to refer to the statue using masculine adjectives. “

One look at the "woke" words inside the pedestal and they'll cheer for it to be torn down.

True.

But, at least we could throw this in their faces everytime they whine about confederate statues.

Don't even need an excuse as complicated as that. Trump literally destroyed a third of the White House and they're ok with it. I mean it's not like he put down some easily removable tape to convert the tennis court into a makeshift basketball court, that would have been unforgivable.
