The concept is pretty easy to understand.
The current fascist talking point is that if local communities want to tear down Civil War Statues, then who are we to say otherwise? They conveniently leave off the fact that there is national pressure on these communities to adhere to their Political Correctness or face the consequences.
Fair enough.
In nearly 100% of these communities that have these statutes, they depend heavily upon tourist dollars to sustain them. In truth, many of them have little to recommend them as places to visit except that there has been some historically significant incident that has happened in, near, or around their communities. In other words, it is the Civil War history that brings in these tourist dollars.
So, it if it perfectly okay for the fascists to bring national pressure to remove these statues, then it is perfectly acceptable to withhold our dollars and visits to their communities.
Spread the word. For each town that removes a statue, places them on a no-visit list and then make it known that you intend to visit those communities that do not cave into this kind of PC pressure.
Write letters to your editor, hit up every social media you are associated with, and start writing the Congressmen and Senators that have these communities as their constituents.
If they truly are making a principled stand on this, then the loss of dollars won't matter to them.
