Truth. Trump is the symptom. He feeds off your constant attention/ridicule because he is a salesman, a huckster, and a tv persona.

it depresses me how much a lot of mainstream democrats are fixated on the whole russia investigation. even if trump gets booted out of office, that means we're still in the nightmare scenario of the GOP controlling all 3 branches of government, except now they might actually be able find a footing of competence to get poo poo done instead of continuously self-sabotaging because of an egomaniacal cheeto. and it's not like trump is a unique thing either - it might take some balls a lot of GOP politicians don't have, but it sure doesn't take much in the way of brains to realize they can replicate what trump's done if they simply abandon all pretenses and run on a platform of pure "gently caress you libs" and watch the gop base eat it up

All bronze statues have walls that are only fraction of an inch thick, just strong enough to support its own weight, you dork, it has nothing to do with mass producing, and everything to do with basic reasoning behind statue making - the sculpting process is designed in such a way to specifically save precious material.


Those sculptures aren't bronze. They're zinc, which is why they fold easily. Zinc was used primarily for cost savings, often in mass production runs. It is in almost all ways a weaker material than bronze alloys, but statues typically aren't subjected to the compression force of being dumped on their heads with their stone base bearing down on them.

When the (actual) bronze statue of Ben Franklin was knocked over in Boston, it cracked the concrete but didn't deform.



Bronze is strong, but brittle. When bronze statues are hit with enough force, they tend to break or shatter rather than bend/tear like zinc.

All that said, a good life-size bronze casting should have walls between 3/8" and 1/2" thick. Judging by the photographs, that zinc Confederate statue has extremely thin walls.
