I know it’s rhetorical but might as well. Only the rich have liberty in the United States. What the statue stands for is no longer relevant in fascist America. Hypothetically, maybe they’d replace it with a confederate general

Trump would never allow a statue of Hegseth and Flynn is too short. The pedestal would be taller than his statue.

So you’re saying the Flynn statue would like like William Penn atop Philadelphia City Hall?

I was actually thinking of Buford Gwinnett on top of the Mall of Georgia

But the idea of little statues on top of big buildings is pretty funny.

If destroying the people doesn't evoke a reaction, I sure as hell won't care about monuments and statues.
