That logically means people need to continue to push for legal change if they want the statues removed and a hypothetical ballot initiative doesn’t pass on the first run.
I guess you were talking about yourself when you mentioned you were speaking to the logically challenged.

So if we take a vote, and the vote says "let them stay," what then? I guess you just say, "oh, let's keep taking votes until we get the answer I want"?

I'm reminded of a cartoon that appeared in National Review when the Equal Rights Amendment was trying to get enough states to approve it. There is a woman in a baseball uniform, holding a bat, and she is saying something to the effect of, "What do you mean, 12 strikes and I'm out?"

If voting means following the will of the people, that's one thing. If voting means, let's just keep voting until I win, that's something different.
