If it was Pete Buttigieg getting inaugurated and California encouraged people to fly pride flags, all the MAGAs would lose their shit.

Louisiana is the second poorest state in the country. They have a poverty rate of 18.65%. The people of Louisiana probably shouldn’t be celebrating this incoming administration because that poverty rate is only going to get worse.
Louisiana is like the Afghanistan of America. If you've ever been you know... If you haven't, I advise you not to go.
But but he's going to drain the swamp and make the rich pay their share and bring back the jobs and fix insurance and poop gold and
It's funny you'd think that people from Louisiana would know a thing or two about swamps and what lives there.
Just like last time.
As long as he hurts the right people...
The President of the United States is anti American. Let that sink in.
Traitors.
Another reason this is so offensive -
MAGA/America First, etc, this isn’t the first time it’s been used in American politics. Trump didn’t invent it - see Warren G. Harding in 1920: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_campaign_slogans
What’s so disgraceful, especially in this case, is that as a result of this type of attitude, foreign languages were banned from being taught in public schools. Mostly German, as a result of WWI, but in 1921 the Louisiana state constitution was amended to also ban French. https://bayoutechedispatches.blogspot.com/2024/10/banned-in-classroom-how-state-of.html?m=1
This was a disaster for the Cajun culture in that state. Landry and Johnson should understand this more than most - it’s a slap in the face to what happened to their (and my) parents and grandparents.
The fact that Landry is bragging about it…I can’t even explain how bad it is.
They should just be honest and fly the Confederate flag.
Forgive my ignorance, but why the fuck were they going to lower their flags for a foreigner's nanny's stepson?
The right wing urge to reinforce social hierarchies? I think they just reflexively love anything connected to a white monarchy
He was apparently one of the victims in the New Orleans attack.
Magastan shit
There are times I wish I was ignorant enough to be able to make statements like this.
