      I did.

      They got a permit, it was approved.

      They posted a plaque honoring the people who broke in

      There’s no indication of a bait and switch, as far as the “art” was concerned.

      Whoever approved the permit and allowed that art to be installed needs to have their employment terminated. This is a severe fuck up, and no, “democracy” doesn’t need to tolerate such bullshit.

        It seems like you took the words on the plaque very literally. The intent was to mock the rioters and to mock Trump.

        “When rioters broke in to destroy these ideals, this desk stands firm, so too must the principles of equality, justice, and freedom that it represents”

        You’re in too deep to admit you’re wrong now, but rtfa. If this doesn’t come off as dripping with sarcasm from top to bottom, you need to come up for air.
