It's been a good discussion up until now, but I don't think you've engaged with the ideas I've presented last time. My previous reply already documents quite well why these examples don't work: you picked three cases of authoritarian rule (to different extents).

End-of-statues coincides naturally with end-of-rule when the statue is a symbol of the power of authority, as happens in authoritarian systems. The equivalent in the U.S. is burning the flag, and anyway, we already have a long tradition of "whatever, you made your point"-ing that instead of "oh noes, the country is a goner if we allow the flag to be burned!!!!1!" (Okay, some rightwingers did make that point, but funny, the U.S. is still here.)

My thesis is that something else is going on this time, as was very very heavily documented by the Founders. If you want to argue "same as before", you also have to argue, for instance, why public sentiment doesn't make the distinction that the country itself did.
