    I think this sub and half of reddit would lose their shit.

    Progressives love to, just as much as anyone else, minimize stuff like this as joking while picking apart and analyzing every single phrase and action committed by the otherwise looking for anything that sticks. I fully believe if it were Obama the Internet would be screeching at each other about how it’s somehow racist.

      Yes, attacking an effigy of a white racist and bigot is the equivalent of attacking an effigy of a black person who has shown no indication of being a racist or bigot. There’s no difference there at all.
