Abe Lincoln observes the sunrise.

Imagine if they'd torn down this statue?!

Rusty said...: "They" being the leftards that were responsible for removing so many statues across the country. No doubt Soros funded as are so many leftist causes.
A little clearer , Chris?; 2/22/25, 2:29 PM
ChrisSchuon said...: Rusty,
That doesn't sound like language Althouse would use. I was wondering how she would define "they".; 2/22/25, 4:22 PM
Rocco said...: I’m imagining Abe getting up off of his pedestal to go fight the Democrats (again!) just like Lady Liberty got off hers to go fight Vigo at the Shandor Building in Ghostbusters II.; 2/22/25, 10:10 PM

You're unlikely to get a response.

But the answer seems cut and dried to me. "They" would be the group who successfully strong-armed the University to remove a rock, because in their mind it was a racist rock. This same group was explicit in their goal to remove Lincoln as well, because he was a racist. Fortunately, Abe turned out to be a bridge too far.; 2/23/25, 2:57 AM
