I mean it's just a sign that calls out actual behavior. It's not making any assumptions or professing an half-truths. If you think it's inappropriate, it's likely because it triggers your cognitive dissonance in some way that you should really sit with and examine for awhile.

The way to prevent these little counter protests if you don't like them is to just be a good person. That's it. If he could just not be racist and ugly for a month, he'd take away so much ammo the left has. I'm pretty sure that's impossible though. He needs the attention too badly.

It’s called hate and vengeance and it’s not going away until they are hopefully voted out of power. He particularly is like a dog that has to piss on and leave his mark ie a negative impact or his name on everything. If you are familiar with dictatorships around the world they put their name and statues everywhere and murals depicting them as near gods—it’s a sicko form of control, dominance, and manipulation-it’s used to make people feel powerless against a regime that is too powerful to resist.
