‘Substantial number’ of Democrats hate George Washington in New York City

A few years ago, Democrats championed the removal of Confederate statues because they claimed the statues were racist and that the presence of such statues supposedly celebrated the country’s history of white supremacy. Many rational and logical people objected to this because they knew that if they acquiesced to the Democrats’ demands, Democrats would use it as precedent to weaponize history in the future to remove statues of any historical figures that Democrats disapproved of. Like clockwork, that is exactly what has happened.
In 2023, Democrats have now set their sights on removing a statue of George Washington in New York City. Why? Because George Washington owned slaves at a period in history when many people owned slaves throughout the world (including black people in North America and Africa). And, given that enslaving people disqualifies historical figures from adhering to Democrats’ impossible and unrealistic Howard Zinn-esque standards of human civilization, Washington, the father of the country, is also now persona non grata.

According to Rasmussen, a “substantial number of Democrats support a proposal in New York City that would tear down statues of America’s first president.” It’s indicative of the toxicity of left-wing indoctrination that has occurred in the country’s schools for decades. It was one thing to object to statues of those who fought in the Confederacy. It’s entirely different to want to do the same to George Washington. People have been taught to hate this country and its historical figures because of the Left’s disdain for the nation and, quite frankly, Western civilization.
A recent Rasmussen poll found that 40% of Democrats support “removing public monuments of Washington.” This unfortunate revelation includes “21% who strongly approve” of purging statues of the first president. It’s the latest example of how radical Democrats have become and why the “culture war” is vital to preserving the nation’s history, including the Founding Fathers. They already removed a statue of President Theodore Roosevelt for similar grievances. If left to their own devices, Democrats would eventually eradicate all of the nation’s history, especially the founders, simply because they were white males who either owned slaves or, according to the modern Left’s beliefs, didn’t do enough to end slavery and racism.
In the 21st century, many Democrats, liberals, and others on the Left have been brainwashed by the public education system to hate our country and its history. It represents a genuine sociopolitical threat that must be taken seriously. Otherwise, if their poisonous ideology isn’t stopped, Washington statues being removed will be the first of many casualties in the Left’s Great Cultural Revolution.
