I think it's weird how the right finds endless reasons to shit talk America. NFL, Olympics, military, etc. I know it keeps the base angry but probably not great politics to oppose every normal institution.

Normal people like football on Sunday, they like the Olympics, they think the military is good, etc. They don't find attacks on these things appealing.

bruh

The French attacked Christianity while they should've just organized the Olympic games.

That makes the French an angry bunch according to your logic.

I don't know that the French attacked Christianity. I'm not an angry person so I don't assume that. There's an argument that it had Greek motivations.

I don't assume that they did, they quite obviously did. Did you read the topic at all?

Yeah it seemed to be a mimic of the Last Supper and then I read that it had some ancient Greek motivation. I'm not someone prone to outrage.

The 2000s of flag waving retards giving carte blanche to waste trillions and support every institution regardless is gone my friend. I know you keep clinging and hoping this time comes back but it's not.

Idk where you get those ideas from but, the opening of Paris Olympic offended millions, probably up to a billion. The fact that even non religious people say “its disgusting”, already says enough.

They don’t dare to post the video on YouTube also says a lot.

The perpetually outraged right-wing is a minority of the country... but I'm glad the Republican party tries to appeal to that group because it provides a nice contrast with the normie Harris/Walz ticket.
