Protesting along with the Nazis while wearing an Israeli flag as a cape? He's just as mixed-up as the kooks who fly the Confederate loser flag along side the American flag. I almost feel sorry for him.

Whenever there is a fascist in need; Wherever groups of lonely Nazis congregate; Super Dumpman will be there!




Aside: Sure he has the power of flight, but his hands are way too small to actually pick up one of his supporters and whisk him/her to safety. So there is really no point in him showing up in the first place.

4. There is a difference between being "conservative" and supporting racism and White Supremacy

Granted, that line is blurring and a solid argument can be made that conservatism seeks to maintain the White hegemony which this country was founded upon, but if we suspend that disbelief for a second, we can still see that this kid is wrong.

He is not at a rally to promote conservative values. He is at a rally that was specifically put together to promote White Supremacy and planned by the same Nazi and KKK groups that planned Charlottesville. He was there to support that cause not some generic and removed notion of conservatism. I would have liked to see someone question him directly on that. "You say it is sad that "conservative voices" are being silenced, so you are saying that those men over there who are supporting white supremacy, by their own admission, are supporting conservatism? You are saying right here, that conservatism supports white supremacy?"

the countermeasures are not hysterical or vicious, the way the tweet portrays them.

Who clearly doesn't know what free speech is. She seems to think people in MAGA hats are the only ones allowed to express themselves.

CNN kept referring to them as a "free speech rally"all morning. Drove me nuts. We all know damn well it was a bunch of racist assholes yelling "free speech!" to distract from the fact that they're racist assholes.

Drives me nuts. Conservatives always talk about how they're getting silenced yet I dont know anyone who actually is. They have fox news, conservative talk radio plus a plethora of right wing websites, newspapers, magazines, etc. The only people being "silenced" are nazis and kkk members (as they should be). No conservatives are being shut up. I dont agree or like their message, but I would say people are wrong to try to silence legit "conservatives" if I saw it happening, but I dont.
