American Politics VIII: Dancin' with Manchin

[Necroghastia]

Whenever I'm confronted with a moral or ethical dilemma, I just ask myself, "What Would Captain America Do?"

(Captain America punches the Nazis.)

It ashames me that people think this way.

as a person from alabama it ashames me that people glorify the flag of a state founded in order to continue slavery but here we are

Well, if people wanted flags torn down on the grounds that those who flew them did bad things, no country in the world would have a flag.

don't threaten me with a good time
but also, again, not many flags comparable to one representing a state founded in order to continue slavery.

Is there something wrong with punching Nazis, guy who flies a traitor's flag? <.<

[Comerciante]

No flag is sacrosanct. The right to burn it is often protected by many countries who at least keep some veneer of upholding their people's rights. The obsession with protecting our flag is unique to us despite the fact the cloth could be better used as a washcloth.

Also, I would consider ceasing the constant rising to the obvious bait.

It's kind of obvious Senawka is an alt.

Punching Nazis is acceptable in self-defense, otherwise it’s an assault charge.

It shames me that people think Nazism should be an acceptable ideology to hold.

It's barbaric, it's evil, it's anti-American, and it should be destroyed. And if you don't agree with that sentiment then you may as well be a collaborator. Which judging by the choice of symbolism in your flag, I'm inclined to believe you are.

so you agree that we have the inherent right to destroy Nazism as an ideology in the name of protecting the Jews, the religious dissidents,the Romanis, the Slavs, the sexually non-heteronormatives, and anybody else the Nazis don't like? Wherever they stick their head up?

The power of punching must be used responsibly

there's a difference between tearing down a flag because the people behind it did a bad thing and tearing down the flag of a country founded on white supremacy and slavery

regardless, i don't respect the flag in general (yes, i know, ironic for a vexillologist)

The power of punching must be used responsibly

And must be used against Fascists.

And nonces. Mostly nonces.

This like what Ben did on Parks and Rec when he was mayor of his hometown.

Typical. A politician with vision and industry gets ousted by an ungrateful and ignorant populous. It’s like the story of Themistocles, but with a big metal chicken.

As a Trekker since childhood, I just can never take QAnon seriously because calling someone 'Q' always makes me think of someone else.

It also doesn't help that character is essentially an Internet troll with god powers.

To me Q means the guy who gives Bond all his high tech stuff

Not one part of their flag has any Nazi imagery. Unless they recently changed it.

[Arlenton]

The clueless ones sure. But a sort of “kill or be kill” attitude is what I see more commonly among GOP voters and conservatives who pay even a little attention to politics. I’m definitely on board with them.

you'll be killed, whether or not you side with the atavism that is now the gop

you know that, right?

Doubtful.

the confederate flag (even though that's not the confederate flag but i digress) and the nazi flag are one in the same in my eyes, and i'm sure in the eyes of LV as well.

Been looking at the 2022 and 2024 Senate maps and noticed something.

In 2022 if Republicans flip GA, AZ, and either NV or NH (very possible) and hold all their current seats (very possible) and...

In 2024 flip WV, OH, MT, and AZ (very possible) and then flip three of the four of PA, MI, WI, or NV (a possibility, and I don't think it is any less likely than the GOP Presidential nominee winning) and hold all their current seats (very possible, as the only plausible states for Dems to pick up would be Florida and Texas)

That would get Republicans a 60 seats veto proof majority in the Senate.

Just something I noticed, and it seems entirely possible.

But Democrats told me Republicans would never win again or something.

Yeah I remember 2012 lmao. Many really believed it too.

There's nothing to do with Nazi imagery in my flag.
