The poop memorial is clearly sarcastic, meant to make the Jan 6ers look like the nasty fools they are.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It Trivializes what actually happened. There should be a bronze statue memorializing the dead.
And yet half the country believes Fussolini that it was "a day if love", trivializing what happened. I'd say this monument does less harm than the living being who enacted the event it references, and who is still out there with the same intentions.
That one dumb bitch who died or the cops they beat to death with a flag?
Either way, I disagree.
Good idea. Get going on that.
BRB, smelting bronze.
Americas love of the statue is eclipsed only by it's love of school shootings
This is by far the weirdest news article I had read in very long time.
To me it's abundantly clear this is coming from our side. Those plaques are clearly sarcastic.
Poe's law strikes again? I do agree it seems very obviously sarcastic, but the MAGAts do seem to score a lot of own goals as well so I can see the potential for confusion.
After reading more, I think I agree with you.
