what would you imagine?
this type of garb has been “standard-issue” for many years, esp on college campuses and in high schools. it’s “cool.” you have not noticed?
I think some act of violenece against someone wearing a hat promoting a left wing / liberal /minority would be called a hate crime and it would make the evening news.
ok. i see what you mean, and, agree. that’s just how it is now, to an alarming extent.
the left has been tolerated, their extremes “normalized” and tolerated, to the point they no longer are even noticed! by either “side.” they just do as they please, certain there will be no repercussions.
i had one surprise not long after Trump was elected.
the nearest town is dominated by a state university, quite liberal, always has been. (little surprises me.)
on this day, tho, i was chatting with a small business owner. he mentioned he was glad Trump won.
we talked about that a little. this was soon after the election.
he told me he usually put a political sign out near election times for whatever candidate he favored.
but, not this time. he did not want vandalism, stolen signs, broken windows, etc.
he said he knew others did just as he did in 2016.
not long after, i spoke with a relative who drives a semi. i told him about this.
he immediately agreed, and said he’d seen+heard signs of this all over several states.
people not wanting to attract aggression.
this is what we’ve come to In the U.S.
unfortunately, the left has conceeded nothing since 2016, instead choosing to ramp up both rhetoric and aggression. like appleman, i’d been watching things unfold over years, i would have been
pleasantly surprised if the left accepted+respected their loss. on any level.
not surprising, but very sad to witness.
people who refuse to be governed will lose the privilege of free society.
that’s just how it is.
strange, how the left has been so tolerated for so long, they no longer appreciate the freedoms, somehow, they have convinced themselves they are “right!” in all matters, to the extent they no longer have to fuss with those that disagree! right+proud.
they do not realize, with this view, THEY will lose just as much as any others. it’s a no-win game.
if they studied history, it’s all in there! nothing new. they are so “right!” they don’t have to bother with history, rule of law, obedience of any description.
imho, it’s the end result of worship of self-as-god.
on one hand, it’s so outrageous, it could be comical.
they claim to “want nothing” from these people they hate so much. they just want them to die.
however! - they DO want everything these horrible people have.
the message is: “you are awful, you must die; now hand over everything you have, and, go.”
not a well-thought-out approach.
i’ve been reading about
#WalkAway.
i know almost nothing about it. i do not twitter or other.
one day, i may look it up.
it has a nice ring to it.
