MAGA supporters aren't suggesting that any other flag should replace the stars and stripes as the official flag of the USA.

Flags being used as symbols of political movements or causes is perfectly normal. I bet you have no problem with people swinging the rainbow flag in support of the LGBTQIP* cause, or with activists waving the Palestine flag.

Valentines message from ECB. Levels of cringe that shouldn’t be possible to achieve.

Magats will literally fly the Confederate participation trophy from the same staff as the US flag. For a group that will bleat "ReSpEcT tHe fLaG" at anyone kneeling for the anthem, they sure do a great job disrespecting the fuck out of the US flag. Nevermind the bastardization of it that is the blue lives gang symbol.

You guys were talking about mainstream voices in the media, academia, corporate America and the political sphere who were pushing an alternative national anthem at the most important cultural mass event of the year.
Meanwhile, the dregs who stormed the Capitol do not represent the median MAGA supporter, nor did their actions have the support of a majority of the 74 million Trump voters.

You're comparing apples to oranges. On one side, you have the hardcore MAGA-heads who stormed the Capitol, i.e. the radical fringe of the MAGA movement, a fringe which is widely ostracized and holds extremely limited institutional power. On the other side, you have wokism, a movement which is accepted if not embraced by large swaths of the mainstream and which actually enjoys disproportionally large amounts of institutional power and backing.

"yOu'Re cOmPaRiNg aPpLeS tO oRaNgEs" says the hack comparing confederate flags to lgbt+ flags, lol.
"tHeY dO nOt rEprEseNt tHe mEdiAn MaGa sUpPoRtEr" (yes, they do) says the hack who will happily perpetuate the moronic myth that the median lgbt+ member is a scary looking drag queen doing inappropriate stuff to kids.

do you even hear yourself? do you ever reflect on what you type here? conservatives getting their knickers in a twist over some meaningless, fabricated bullshit from their outrage factories is so common that it's already a meme...

I didn't draw a moral equivalence between confederate flags and LGBTQIP* flags, I merely said that both are examples of flags that signal a particular political conviction and that showing them alongside the stars and stripes flag is perfectly normal.

You seriously believe that half the Trump voters supported the attack on the Capitol? That's some 23.5% of the electorate and at least 37 million voting-age adults.

I never made such a claim. You're clearly referring to this post of mine from yesterday:
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=99136871&f=119&o=40#p638090183

Just to clarify: my point was not to imply that all drag queens are pedos or scary-looking. My point was that what you euphemistically labeled as "teaching kids that its ok to be different and that you shouldn't have to hide your true nature" in practice frequently devolves into aggressively confronting little children with deviant adult sexuality, in many cases literally shoving it in their face.

Hell yes, Rihanna's SB half time performance was offensive - offensively boring and low energy, with offensively ugly outfits.
