two MAGAT's declare NYC "Trump Country" while holding a big Trump flag.. it doesn't go well (Original Post) Demovictory9 Jun 2020 OP
I enjoyed that 😍 secondwind Jun 2020 #1
MAGAT #2 made a tactical error when he let the pole lean enough that the flag could be grabbed Demovictory9 Jun 2020 #4

I am almost certain that they are not from Manhattan. Possibly Queens, where Trump is from, but I still think they are from Jersey.

They haven't proven anything. New Yorkers would have kicked their little pansy asses just for being obnoxious jerks. They are lucky that they got away in one piece. Nobody pulls that shit in NYC and gets away with it.

This is a lot less violence than what I've been seeing from videos of police. Those Magats did ask for it. And, really only the guy's pride got hurt. His butt looked like it had enough cushioning.

I have the same painful visceral reaction when I see a MAGA hat and hear Trump supporting rhetoric spouted. But we can't expect our peaceful protests for justice, equality and so on to be respected and allowed to stay peaceful when we don't give the same respect to the other side. It will never work. I was in the military and while I swore an oath to protect the Constitution, the Second Amendment was first and foremost what I was willing to give my life to protect. I believed that firmly as a 19 year old over 40 years ago and I believe it even more firmly now and remain as willing to stand and die for that right for my children and grandchildren and the country as I did way back then.

Now, if you want to get in that Red Hat's face and tell him all the ways he is wrong and shout him down and drown him out...well, that sounds like free speech to me.

The year of COVID. After he pushed him over the first time he should have used his foot to knock him back down.

Upset about that guy on the bike attacking the women putting up BLM posters.

But on another level, I'm like, "Well, you did say do something about it. Don't write checks that your ass can't cash."

And that's just part of the glorious mystery of being human so ultimately, I'm okay with this dichotomy within myself.
