Should we put up a giant, unflattering naked statue of Kamala?

    Probably not going to happen because most conservatives tend to be a little bit more mature than that.

    Just like you won't see some conservative actor holding up her severed head

    Oh I'm definitely opposed to it ...I'm just wondering if naked Kamala would be considered 'political speech' in the same way it is when its naked Trump.

    They would scream bloody murder wouldn't they?

    It would be called evidence that they were misogynistic and sexist racist and bigots.

    But it's of course different when the other side does it.

    Now to be fair I am sure there are a number of Democrats that found that to be in poor taste

    Why wouldn't it? It would be weird, since Harris doesn't constantly insult others' appearance. And the context would mean it's very misogynistic. But I don't see why it wouldn't be considered political speech.

    Houston is putting up a large tent camp area to move all the smaller ones around town into. Hopefully the messed up one down the road gets cleaned up and moved there. They could put that statue or one of Joe in the middle of the new place.

    Their maturity was in full display in dozens of hanging Obama effigies and other nonsense.

    Holier than thou.....

    I am sure there would be an array of opinions about it, like there is about the Trump statue.

    Looks like this status it going on a tour of the US called "Crooked and Obscene Tour".

    The statue can go up next to the Stalin statue in Seattle. As long as the statue doesn't talk I'm fine with it, even pigeons need a toilet.

    No, just like this one shouldn't have been.

    I'm curious to know why YOU would think it might be.

    Personally I think that being a convicted felon and proven sex offender is waaaay more embarrassing than any statue. You think THIS would embarrass Trump or his followers knowing that THAT fact doesn't? I don't see how...

    I don't. I think its unsavory and childish, no more so for Trump than would be for Kamala.

    But I think the response would not be the same from Kamala's supporters, if there were a giant, flabby naked statue of her floating around being jeered at by Trump supporters. I suspect they would either try to destroy it or attack the people who put it up, claiming 'sexual violence against women!' or some nonsense.

    But fortunately we won't likely find out. It seems there arent any Trump supporters willing to stoop quite that low.

    It most definitely wouldn't. Just like our response would be as different if it were proven in court that any candidate we support is a rapist and convicted felon. We would turn our backs on them in a microsecond! Trump supporters don't care. They're not embarrassed by anything. THAT's the difference!

    But the question was why would YOU think somebody might consider it to be different? If you agree with my reason that I just gave above, feel free to tell us.

    Of course they would! They tried to do that with the Capitol even though it WASN'T a naked statute. The ONLY reason MAGAs would need is the perception that it would make Trump, their Lord, HAPPY.

    Not embarrassment, though. If they're not embarrassed by the fact that he's a proven sexual abuser, why would they be embarrassed about a statue?

    That's hilarious. You guys do the exact same thing ALL OF THE TIME, and even LAUGHED at ACTUAL violence against Paul Pelosi. Do you know how easy it is to find firing range targets of her, just like you could for every previous prominent Dem? Spare me the crocodile tears about the whole "severed head" thing. Which I condemned at the time, by the way. Did you condemn the images of violence that Trump shared or his mocking of violence?

    You left out the part where we know that Democrats supporters would either try to destroy the statue or attack the people who were tending it

    You say they would ...but they arent. There is a giant naked statue of Trump ...no one is doing anything but complaining.

    So ..."Of course they would" ...what?

    I'm sure most democrats would be embarrassed by something like that.

    Republicans are not embarrassed by the fact that Trump IS a convicted felon and a proven sexual abuser so... a naked statue?.... Give me a break!

    What's truly embarrassing is the percentage of Democrats that cannot tolerate other people having different opinions than their own.
