Sometimes the symbolic nature of the act is more important than the act itself. Turning Boston harbor into a teapot didn't really hurt the British, but it sent a message. We will stand against tyranny. And to do that, we have to show we have courage. I've ripped out Biden yard signs, put Trump bumper stickers on cars at my works parking garage, wrote on gas pumps to remind potential voters of inflation, and other things. I am a patriot.
