If you think this is about Confederate statues or that the Left's program of cultural subversion will stop with Confederate statues, you're kidding yourself.
I'm not a Neo-Confederate, but I recognize what this is all about. The Left is starting with Confederate statues because they know they can get away with it (thanks in part to attitudes like yours). Next on the agenda is the statue of anyone who ever said or thought anything that violates today's PC speech codes, and afterwards they will be banning and burning books that conflict with PC ideology. That is why monuments to the Confederacy need the support of every conservative American.
OK, please explain to me what right you have to force a city that you don't reside in to keep statues that its residents don't want?
I’m not oblivious to what the Democrats are trying to do, but I’m not going to worry about them tearing apart their own history.
