The issue is not so much the statues coming down but how they come down. They didn't come down because of a societal debate, they came down because of leftist violence. Leftist judging by their behaviour believe that violence belongs in politics. The south that did slavery was run by Democratic aka Leftist Governours, Senates and Officials. They invented the confederate flag, the race laws against black people etc.
Today they managed to pull off some kind of image polishing where people forget their past deeds. They are riding the backs of black people, women, lgbt and latinos to get votes and to get into power. They don't truly care about them if they did they would have improved their quality of life in those places they control. The 2 party system is a corrupt system. A nation with hubdreds of millions of people should be able to easily produce 6 or more viable parties. That would result in real change. But those in power do not want it and the media is complicit. Just look at the unfair actiins of the media during every US electiin where candidates feom alternative parties get virtually no coverage at all. And the focus of debates is only on Democratic and Republic debates. Everything else is treated like dirt at the bottom of the barrel.
