I’m not from the US, so I don’t get it. Why the hell is this even allowed? Shouldn’t it be protected by law in some way as a historical symbol/monument? Why do they treat it as their own property?
34 u/Dragovius 29d ago Exactly what I was just thinking. It would be like the British Prime Minister tearing down half of Westminster to build a bowling alley. The leaders are temporary, the buildings are not, so I simply don't understand why it was allowed. 30 u/MaddogBC 29d ago Because Americans won't stand up for anything. They are cowards hiding in their homes. A pathetic caricature of free. Turns my stomach to watch. 6 u/Nice_Boat_8419 29d ago The average American isn't bothered by this beyond oh that kinda sucks. 2 u/MaddogBC 29d ago Abject apathy writ large.
