The White House is a pretty significant symbol of this country, so yeah, I think they might care that a big chunk of it was just torn down.

- brianwawok 1y agoGo to a Walmart in Ohio or Wisconsin and ask. Ask what % will change their next vote because of it
- SapporoChris 1y agoPlease don't place the burden of proof on others with absurd tasks.
- johnnyanmac 1y agoI think that's the wrong way to view the problem. Think about it this way: before Nixon resigned his approval rating was still 23%. You can get a quarter of the country to say yes or not care for any given question no matter how obviously dangerous or stupid. But having a 25% approval rating would be very, very bad.

What do they care about? Price of groceries? Health care maybe?

- newfriend 1y agoYou think they're too dumb to understand the difference between "tearing down" and "renovating"? I assure you, they are not.
- Terr_ 1y ago> > a big chunk of it was just torn down > You think they're too dumb to understand the difference between "tearing down" and "renovating"? Are you? You think the East Wing is being "renovated"? Renovation is renewal, repair, restoring function and safety. What's happening instead? Knocking the safe and functional East Wing flat (walls, roof, both floors, 30+ internal rooms) and replacing it with a completely new structure with new foundations and a different purpose... and with a new footprint larger than the entire White House of 2024! Nowhere even remotely close to the same thing. Might as well brag that you "repaired" your sedan by selling it and buying a new truck.
- newfriend 1y agoYes, it is being renovated. Adding a new room is renovation. They aren't demolishing the entire White House...
- mcphage 1y agoThe East Wing isn't being renovated. It's gone, and being replaced with something else.
- newfriend 1y agoSo the White House is being renovated then, right? Bingo.
- ASalazarMX 1y agoYou keep using that word, but it doesn't mean what you want it to. Renovation is as your interlocutor says, a restoration. Remodeling is what is happening there, tearing apart something and putting something new in its place. It's a more drastic and expensive work.
