Not that long ago in my public school the most I could get away without detention was standing facing the flag and not speaking -and that was only because my homeroom teacher was fairly lax and I was the only objector.

Punishments for not participating were real and I can't say the school wouldn't have come up with a more formalized patriotism monitoring if more students rejected it as a movement. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Nobody relax.

This is like the bullshit mifepristone case-they didn't up hold reproductive rights on their merits. It's kicking the can. Overturning Roe got people to the polls in anger, they don't want a repeat of that this November.

They are counting on people not reading more than a headline and tuning out until after it is too late.

Three houses! Interesting. Ok, now I want there to be a civics community to argue this out, lol.

Edit: Also, this instance is billed as bilingual... have we told the francophones about any of this? Je suis un croissant and all that.

People are going to get a lesson on why democracy can be a messy business.

It's a fun thought experiment carrying the idea through. How would we district?

This post was stickied to the subreddit. Things got scrubbed after that girl was murdered. *

This clear evidence of the alt-right going all in with nazis.

In this case, the pursuit of preserving without shame white culture, our goals happen to align. [...] We need to save civilization first, we can argue about the exact details later.

And then in the upvoted comments:

So glad this got stickied. And to those of you who don't like the Alt-Right well guess what. The left is going to call us (like they've always been) Racist, Homophobic, Antisemetic, Uncle Tom, Alt-Righters anyway might as well War it. I mean what happened we wore the term Deplorable like a badge of honor.

Exactly. Anything to the right of Elizabeth warren is already a nazi ready to gas six trillion Jews so might as well say fuck it. The enemies of my enemy are my friends

Remember, the left doesn't care if you are or aren't racist. They don't want you to have a nice life, they don't care about your concerns or opinions. They want you dead, your children dead.

I wish I could be there!

Me too!

Become part of it in other ways. I can't make it either but I have thrown a few dollars toward groups that are going for lodging and travel expenses. Spreading the event details to other Trump supporters is also a way you can help

In the text and by actions t_d leadership and members are clearly identifying this rally as a white supremacist cause and are embracing the rhetoric, giving it a platform, and encouraging others to join in. This is one of the largest online communities in support of the then president endorsing this rally from the top down. After the attack it would take trump days to come close to a condemnation. These are not fringe sentiments held within the MAGA community. I have not seen anything from exploding heads to lead me to believe it is less extreme, kinder, gentler conservatism.

They're chanting 'blood and soil' at alt-right marches. That's a do not pass go or collect $200 straight up nazi thing.
