American Politics Thread VI: Can't We All Just Get Along?

[Lord Dominator]

Maybe….welll…..ahh…..Nope. Even my startup was in 18 countries.

"According to its website, Lowe's has operated/serviced more than 2,355 locations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico alone, although the Mexican stores were closed in the late 2010s."

Pretty globalist there huh.

There’s a house near me with like a half dozen signs like that

My dad learned today that 7 days after an election, political signs are technically not allowed in my town. So we might report it, especially since its provocative right next to the highway. Not that I personally care if its provocative.

I’m pretty sure at one point that one of the signs asked me for gas money because I voted for Biden - I’m honestly not sure where they get all of them

[Myrensis]

No, but they were under the authoritarian governors and mayors! I still live under a public space mask mandate, and it's pissing me off!

So very many lies, starting with 2 weeks to flaten the curve...

Hah. You forgot the authoritarian business leaders and owners. The school leaders, etc., etc. It’s pissing you off? Oh Boohoo. I can guess how you would have handled WW2 with all the rationing. Ohhh the complaining.

You can have your “freedom” you just get the consequences of your choices.

I can all ready hear Tucker Carlson on the radio ranting about the elitist bureaucrats in Washington telling real Americans that they have to give up their sugar and beef just because that nice Hitler fellow wants to make Germany great again.

You should see some of the vehicles I've seen in the parking lot (I'm a loader/lot attendant at a Lowe's). Some people are whacko and love displaying it with 15 stickers on their back window.

Edit: Or all the idiots with their flags from their vehicles

Let me guess. Marine sticker too?

I like to play games with Trumpers, guessing how high their pickup truck is raised and how many stickers they have on it.

muffler or modded to be as loud as possible?

Don't forget the Confederate flag stickers.

Can't recall. I've seen a couple of the looney ones.

Yes, because those appear so often.

[Thermodolia]

Those aren't N-95 masks. Their just normal paper masks. Just because it looks like a medical grade mask doesn't mean that it is.

Actually, being someone who works at Lowe's I am PRETTY sure the 10 packs are N-95 masks. The 50 packs are just the paper masks.

Edit: Actually might be KN95 but still

This is literally what I bought

some moron nearly ran into a schoolbus when i was getting out of the parking lot today
his entire back window was plastered in shit like "fuck you" "trump 2020" "blue lives matter"

[Thermodolia]

Understatement. While I was enjoying all the salty coworkers today, one was talking about how Lowe's is a "Globalist company" so of course they'll go along with Biden's mandate.

Lowe's only has stores in America and like a smaller division in Canada. That's it.

That's been the change, conspiracy theories were the domain of whacks, now it's people I actually know.

The Internet is to blame

You would be surprised how many trucks I've seen with one.

Where I live, they do. But I'm sure your snark will make the confederate flag stickers next to the Trump/Pence stickers disappear on people's vehicles.

Theoretically the Internet era should have been great, but apparently it was an easy way to just continue your echo chambers and false information more easily....even though the proper info is easily available.

I've seen quite a few "Fuck Inslee" stickers and masks at work.

[Rusozak]

I saw them in Wisconsin... It seems to just be a general rural white supremacist thing and completely lost the Southern identity it used to possess.

I mean, I live in Florida, so maybe there's less here.

Dude I saw a good bit of marines with CSA flags on their trucks. Hell one of the guys I enlisted with had a confederate belt buckle, though the Sargent told him it wouldn’t be a good idea to wear it to MEPS in Atlanta

I’ve seen a few in AZ. Though those where from people not living in Maricopa county, most live in Gila or Pinal

Its a never-ending battle. Snark does wonders. As an Idahoan, I expect Southerners, and Californians to leave their baggage behind when moving here. Stars and Stripes forever.

I've got quite a few of them in my little town too, and this is the land of Lincoln and Grant for fuck's sake.

Yeah, it's rare in the Chicagoland area but I think I have seen one or two. But once you start seeing cornfields you start seeing confederate flags.

[Merrill]

Easy to miss when the boot on your neck is Democrat...

If a business chooses to mandate masks, that's fine, it's their property. Someone else will be happy to take my money.

That's the difference, you see. My transactions with businesses are VOLUNTARY! The government gives only a shitty choice: Obey, or Die.

Please direct me to where the government has indicated death is the punishment for not complying with mask or vaccine mandates.

Death is the punishment for any disobedience. Even “Civil” penalties. They fine you, you refuse to pay, they arrest you, you resist, and they kill you.

There should be no laws that aren’t worth someone dying for.

Excellent point. I was taught this in school but that was so long ago that sometimes forget. Laws need to be few, reasonable, and weighty. The example a Jr. High teacher teacher gave to ask yourself, if this law was passed and for whatever reason if your mom, sister, or grandmother refused to comply, and resists to the end, you are okay with the government shooting her in the head for it. It would have to be pretty heinous.

You see confederate flags in rural Minnesota as well, and 99.9% are not from the South and have no family lineage from the south either.
