conservative back the blue mural in tampa (which was hastily painted without permit btw):

"not conservative" black lives matter mural in st pete (which is so loved that it is featured on the tourism board website):

which of course the conservatives made them change to 'black history matters' because 'black lives matter' was so "controversial"
