As many have noted, there are in many ways two Americas then, with vastly different beliefs. And just as all nations celebrate their heroes in art, but also do socialists and republicans in America now. Liberals just installed a twelve-foot memorial of an unidentified dark woman who is very clearly not happy with you at all, smack blot in the middle of America’s historical center, Times Square.

Then patriots have struck again: a monument appeared in the Oval Office that appears to be a little concept of what promises to be a nine-foot statue depicting the second assassination attempt against President Trump. The two figures bring the communist and patriotic views of what constitutes heroism into dramatic comparison, and so they deserve a closer look.
Fox News reported Saturday that “a copper artwork depicting the attempted assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, PA, last year was seen displayed in the Oval Office on Friday. The dominant piece of symbolic craft, which appeared to be at least 12 inches high, was seen next to Trump’s Resolute Desk as he signed a series of professional orders in front of the press. It depicts the now-iconic image of then-candidate Trump being hauled off stage by three Secret Service members – including the current director of the agency, Sean Curran– after would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks fired off several bullets from a nearby rooftop at Butler Farm Show Grounds on July 13. ”
The statue depicts the indelible moment when, “as they tried to move him off stage, Trump stopped and turned to the crowd, holding his clenched fist in the air and famously shouting, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight! ’ as blood dripped from his ear after it was grazed by a bullet. ” The Trump Statue Project is “planning on creating a nine-foot replica to honor the president, ” and explains:” This powerful image, embodying ‘Confidence, Strength, and Hope, ’ will be immortalized in this nine-foot-tall statue. It symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands. ”

All right. So on one side, we have a statue that celebrates confidence, strength, and hope, embodied in an image of a man who was defiant even in the face of death. And from the other America, as PJM’s Ben Bartee reported Thursday, we have “a sloppily dressed, obese Womyn of Color™” who is defiant in the face of nothing at all. The sculptor explained that this giant woman was designed to “instigate meaningful connections and bind intimate emotional states that allow for deeper reflection around the human condition and greater cultural diversity. ”
Well, great. I mean, who does n’t want to “instigate meaningful connections and bind intimate emotional states, ” and how better to do it than to install a belligerent-looking statue of an anonymous woman in a celebrated public space? But what we really have in the Times Square statue is the apotheosis of mediocrity, the equivalent in the form of a statue of Oprah pointing at random people in her audience and shouting at them, “You get a car! And you get a car! ” Why did they get a car? Why, for no reason at all. And why is this angry woman being celebrated in a statue in Times Square? Also for no reason at all.
The left’s idea is to break down all standards and all structures. Norms of human decency obviously go out the window, as do all genuine measures of ability and any effort to discern competence and excellence. So some random person might as well be celebrated, because to exalt accomplished people or great achievements would cut against the left’s fundamental goal of leveling all distinctions between people and rendering us all indistinguishable cogs in the massive socialist, collectivist machine.

And so the statues of Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt and the rest had to be torn down. They were erected in the first place because those were great men of extraordinary accomplishment. But for the left, writing the Declaration of Independence, or charging up San Juan Hill, or standing up after being grazed by a bullet and exhorting everyone to fight for freedom, has no greater moral value than walking into Walmart and buying a six-pack and a bag of chips. In fact, leftists prefer a population filled with people whose greatest accomplishment is the latter; such people are easier to control.
What would be most fitting, then, would be for the Trump Statue Project to place the full-size Trump statue right next to the big angry woman in Times Square. Of course, the socialists who run New York would never allow that, because they know that if they did, Americans would see just a bit too clearly the different paths that the left and patriots are asking them to embark upon today.
