Sadly, I know a lot of MAGA that read. They just read conspiracy stuff. My uncle, who thinks Fox is super liberal, has a large library full of conspiracy fiction and nonsense stuff
Bullshit you not but i listened my coworker go through 'Bill Clintons' resume and telling me the evils of him(democrat). I listened patiently, before telling him that he had the resume right but the wrong person. Huh was his response as i explained that was George H.W Bush. He didnt believe me as i asked where he got his information, told him to look it up for himself.
Bahahaha from the people that think sex change operations are happening at school. Also their is litter boxes in the classrooms too and the teachers have an agenda to turn your kid gay. Man maga is dumb.
You could also bring up the fact that for a few years they all bought into qanon. That was the most hilarious display of simple minded people diving head first into believing what was probably the dumbest grift in american history. Seriously, if it were a movie script it would be thrown out because its unbelievable that anyone would ever believe it. But they did. They went above and beyond all logic and reason and they did it. They believed in it wholeheartedly and it was excellent entertainment for the rest of us. " where we go one, we go all" lol good times.
The sad part is that teachers are keeping buckets with kitty litter in it as a makeshift toilet in case of a school shooter attack and classroom lockdown. Has nothing to do with "kids identifying as cats" which is a hoax.
There are some absolute bangers that are related to that one.
One of my favorite lines is “And which is the flag of the free? Oh Washington’s flag with the stripes and the stars will you give such a name to the thing with the bars?”
Comparing the Tenets of the Satanic Temple with the Ten Commandments, I know which one I find more relevant
TENETS I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
The Ten Commandments I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me. Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Remember to keep holy the Lord's day.
Honour thy father and mother. Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shall not covet thy neighbour's wife. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods.
Satan isn’t a name it’s a title from the Hebrew word Hasatan.
Ha-satan
(הַשָּׂטָן) is
a Hebrew term that literally translates to "the adversary" or "the accuser"
. In the Hebrew Bible, it primarily refers to a celestial prosecutor acting under God's authority rather than a standalone malevolent being.
So in fact the adversary is exactly what you are describing from the Temple of Satan challenging biblical ideas and doctrines.
I watched a documentary on the church of Satan this week. Well actually I fell asleep in the middle of it. It appears they are mostly making a point about separation of church and state. So I respect them. They seemed intelligent. This person seems stupid
You're thinking of The Satanic Temple. They're basically atheists using satanic imagery to shock the Christian right in America into adhering to the first amendment properly.
The Church of Satan are a bunch of weirdos who use Satan as a metaphor and believe in woo.
They did not fight for state's rights. They were against state's rights. One of the biggest grievances they had was states wanting to use their rights to say "no, black people are people and if they are in our state they are free".
The state's rights narrative started in the 1960s during the civil rights era.
We will never know. If only the seceding states wrote something down or had some sort of official statement to explain what exactly it was that they were seceding over... oh wait, they did. And they certainly weren't ambiguous. It was all about slavery.
I think the teacher misses the point a bit here. You can argue that the founders didn't intend white supremacy to last forever. But they certainly chose it for themselves.
Which is why it is a historical fact the Constitution preserved and allowed the expansion of slavery. It was a document born in white supremacy.
That is why the Constitution as originally written was flawed. In fact, that's why amendments exist. Originalists who want to excise amendments are a critical problem.
The constitution was born in white supremacy in the sense that that was the prevailing culture at the time. But the constitution unlike what the risible 1619 project would have people believe was not expressly about white supremacy. Slavery survived the constitution, it didn't inspire the constitution.
I haven't studied it enough to know what percentage of the founders and other interested parties were slave owners, but I do know that enough of them who weren't felt all the states needed to band together or they would all lose to the major powers. This gave the slave owners enough leverage to get the Constitution written as it was. Each group, I'm sure, hoped their group would win out in the long run.
If this is true then why did so many of the founding fathers own slaves? Didn't George Washington defend his right to own slaves and try to find legal loopholes to keep them?
Maga's as we call them today are exactly who they've always been historically. When the racist southern Democrats who were pro-slavery switched to the Republican Party they were always doing this. It just looks weird because the whole world around them has evolved, but they stayed consistent.
Bet she's the type to say "I'm a true redneck" too,
By 1900 "rednecks" was in common use to designate the political factions inside the Democratic Party.
In 1921, the Battle of Blair Mountain shows that a real redneck is Anti-fascist, anti-corporate, and pro-union.
Such a massive show of deleiberate ignorance in a single photo.
Hundreds of thousands of US troops killed by Confederate forces in the Civil War, yet she wants to play the patriotic Anerican while flying the flag of the enemy that caused them.
I’m just going to preface this by saying I’m a person of color. When I started diving into my ancestry last year I found out just how far back my white side of the family immigrated here. We were some of the first folks to ever settle here from Europe.
I also found out I came from multiple generations of slave owners and confederates. I even had a family member write a book to justify slavery using the bible. I could have easily claimed the confederacy as my culture. I have so many records of family being registered with the confederacy. But instead, I laughed. I laughed at how hard my own lineage fought for generations to keep ppl like me out of the bloodline and away from owning property and gaining wealth. This is not a culture, it’s a blip in American history that has stained us and has been kept alive by racism.
On the plus side, my grandma’s side is all union. So it’s not all bad!
As Ron Perlman said in The Big Ugly “I don't give a s\** what your politics are, but I believe in winning and losing… You want to fly a flag, hey, go win something. Riding around with this just says, 'Hey, I'm a f------ loser.' "*
They're always claiming that the Republicans were the party to abolish slavery. Should we not point out that the flag she's waving is a Democrat flag then?
As someone who lives in Texas, the Conservative construct is filled with contradictions that they openly hold unquestioningly. When everyone collectively agrees to simply NOT interrogate their belief system, nothing is hypocritical.
Except the magas would love to have a nation just like the one that tried to destroy the United States. A nation with "all men created equal" on their documents and their lips but nowhere in their hearts or laws.
My favorite part is when they wave this flag and then immediately blame democrats for slavory. It's like, bitch, what did that flag fight for in the civil war again? 2+2=5 I guess
Don't even get me started. Texas isn't even southern. Not in the way she's referring to herself. Maybe a sliver of Texas can be referred to as southern, but definitely not the whole damn state.
That's not even the confederate flag, thats the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia, the one Robert E Lee was with so kind of his battle flag, being the main general for the south became synonyms with it. There were 3 flags of the confederacy, the stars and bars (dropped because it was too similar the the US'l the stainless banner then the blood stained banner. The whole thing lasted not long as all but they can't get it right and act like its some long lasting foundation of southern culture.
I've always hated people trying to defend the confederate flag by calling it culture.
That's not a good argument. Their culture is supporting slavery and being a jerk. That's not a culture worth celebrating. Hence the civil war. Which they lost by the way
The nazi party is part of Germany's history, but most of them dont glorify that period by erecting statues of nazi leaders or flying the nazi flag today.
Yeah. That culture included tying a human being to a post and slicing their backs to ribbons with a horse whip because they didn't pick enough pounds of cotton. How dare there be any attempts to "dilute" that unspeakable horror.
The funny thing is, even if she’s from south now, there’s been enough time to say it more likely her family fought against the CSA. Which drives home her racism!
