That interview was something else. The guy said the statue made him scared of being being shot or "noosed up" because of how he looked (white).

Fox News truly has turned these people's brains to mush.

They tell on themselves as well. Why a noose? Because that’s what he would use

I mean, intentional or not, I think the statue does invoke imagery of a hanged man if you squint a bit. It certainly wouldn't have been my first thought, though, so you're probably right that projection also plays a part.

The Nevada Republican Party “strongly” condemned the installation, saying that families driving through Vegas would be “forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue.”

Because conservatives are well known for meaningful dialogue and decorum.

This is the most accurate description I've ever heard of the original.

The video in the article, depicting a random white guys reaction to seeing the statue

"It made me scared to come to work, because what if I get shot or get noosed up just because of the way I look. And I don't know why the election at home should have to affect people so badly"

Bitch, your party's entire identity is based around attacking minority communities based on skin color, immigration status, and gender/sexual identity. Now that you're being recognized as the literal piece of shit you are, NOW you want to scale back the rhetoric? Go fuck yourself.

Also why does seeing your bitch emperor with no clothes make you scared of bodily harm? This dude sees himself in that depiction, identifies with the vile racist rapist on display and thinks "what if that happened to me?" And I gotta think, yeah, that's the point of the depiction. Your blind hateful positions only serve to expose you as the pathetic pasty parasite you are. Self-reflect and change or you'll continue to be seen as a hypocritical bigot who's self worth is based entirely upon the racist/misogynistic idea that because you're a cis white man you're better than everyone else. Fuck off you ignorant bitch.

"I didn't know what it was at first," Jason said. "I don't know why the election should have to affect people at home so badly...seemed like nobody gave a dang."

Golly, shucks, nobody gave a dang-diddly.

I don't know why the election should have to affect trans people at home so badly… Gee wilickers.

Stfu, you racist fascist fuck.

Yeah, it’s a statement that is spoken from a position of extreme privilege. Being able to “not care” about politics means politics has never directly impacted your day to day life, your health, your wellbeing…

Or anyone else around you, including the people you care about. It's an extremely selfish way of thinking.

This is the important bit. Everything they to hurts themselves to no end, but as long as it hurts someone not like them more they'll never even notice.

"NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small."

That is fucking suave.

They think he's Jesus, and Jesus barely wears anything what's the problem?

Many brought binoculars to confirm its existence but went home empty handed. Trump's penis was too small for a balloon. Some said they noticed a 5mm sharpie mark that looked like it. Others said it looked just like Jesus. Yet others kicked him where a nutsack would have been.

The ONLY Time it's OK to show President's NAKED is when I Paint BIDEN!

I believe that was the intent, my nutsack. "Crooked and Obscene" describes the artwork, former potus and his penis (allegedly).

It's pretty tame, and I wouldn't even have been sure that it was meant to be critical of Trump rather than a misguided attempt to support him if the article hadn't said so.

It's okay, it's just Trump- Sincerely, Reddit and Lemmy... lol

Won't somebody please think of the poor billionaire, ex POTUS! He is just an innocent victim in this whole thing!
