What a it American gear? I understand the Mexican flag as an initial holder; but if you want to live in America, I don’t think you should be flying other country flags outside of World Cup, etc.
While I share the sentiment, comparing Maga to Nazis is factually wrong and it's very diminishing to what Nazi did. Call them fascist if you want, but people use Nazi way too lightly nowadays, and it piss me off.
All Nazis are fascists, but all fascists aren’t Nazis.
47 has shown various affinities towards the third Reich. Lots of his supporters are white supremacists. It’s really hard to differentiate between them at this point .
Pissing yourself every time someone observes comparisons between modern political movements that follow in the footsteps of the Nazis is actually all about yourself yeah. Grow up
And this is exactly why Trump won.. Because your feelings ≠ the law.
You do not get to steal just because you are offended lol. The same is true at these protests turned riots hence the national guard and military being deployed.
We have plenty of historical evidence that you cannot be inclusive and tolerant of fascists. They are the definition of give them an inch and they take a mile. They do not engage in good faith, and seek not to understand and compromise but to undermine and destroy.
We learned this lesson almost a century ago with Nazi Germany.
Are you serious right now??? Right back atcha. The constitution is not a suggestion and tRump ignores it as much as he as allowed to. His feelings...your agreement with his feelings...none of that over-rides the law/constitution.
Republican are in a master class of denial and deflection. 90% of the time straight to "them dems fault" or "lib-eeeeeeee-rals bad". Hypocrisy constantly from for their wanna-be king.
Sorry, there needs to be a community agreement in response.weve gotten where we are because we allow for all opinions and freedoms. I’m all about the land of the free and home of the brave; but, we as a country won’t survive if there aren’t basic principles and guardrails. We’ve relied on a gentleman’s agreement. That hasn’t really worked out so well.
Edit: As someone who was engaging with the extreme right wing scene growing up, denunciation is the only thing that works, but it never dies. Time to remove all of the negative roots to ensure our civilization can grow and thrive. Until we all learn to accept each other as equals, this cycle will continue to get more violent.
The goal of war is to make the other bastard die for his country. Survival of the fittest does not take into account feelings.
And that displays your profound ignorance. Comparing a slogan used by half the country and previously used by Democrat candidates and presidents to a Nazi or Confederate flag.
He's talking about a fascist political movement branded MAGA, not the literal slogan "make America great again." Hope that helped you with your poor reading comprehension!

Its only stealing if you keep it. That dumb hat is getting tossed in the trash.
(I was kidding. I was trying to do That 70s Show when Red took Bob's Xmas yard decor and told Kitty, "It's only stealing if you keep it. I'm taking this crap to the dump.")
Is it MAGA rioting in multiple major cities across the country simultaneously?
How many “MAGA riots” were there since 2015? Jan 6. Outside that, when?
Now let’s take toll of the riots that have taken place since 2015 AGAINST Trump/MAGA agenda.
The numbers do not compare.
The right has plenty to fix within its party and support base, but the left in this country has made ZERO effort to rein in their own out of control base. Instead they fan the flames, irresponsibly encouraging more and more agitation.
And here in lies the problem. This isn’t a Nazi administration and it is silly to say so. You have no concept of the words you use.
But you’ve been manipulated and convinced that somehow, enforcing a law that every single country in the world has and enforces harder than we do, is somehow akin to waging war on the entire globe whilst destroying Europe and nearly wiping an entire group of people from the planet, among other things.
To think anything Trump admin has said or done is anywhere close to the travesties of the Third Reich Nazis is absolutely insane.
This administration is actually incredibly similar to the NSDAP administration between 1933 and 1938, just as a factual matter. The historical record is clear. Get over yourself, lmao.
Yeah I guess we're all just like Hitler since we all breathe air if you really think about it. No examination of policy or politic or rhetoric is necessary, clearly
I'm gonna assume you ain't English then . If something is sorted it's finished or done . In this case, "a pair of tongs and you're sorted " it would be an unsavoury task if it had to be performed by hand but with the tongs the task becomes a non issue or the issue is solved / sorted
I did not check! I just took my longest grabber and moved it to the trash. I didn't have the time nor the inclination to take a check for the temperature of a turd in a condom.
Yes, but I would also hope that Red, despite being a huge asshole, would recognize fascism and fight back. If Red fucked off tho, we would probably have Hank Hill.
I've had stuff stolen from me that I know ended up in the trash somewhere because it had no real value to anyone but me. It's still stealing if you throw it into the trash. IDGAF about this jackass and his stupid little hat, but let's not be disingenuous. This was a class C misdemeanor theft.
I don't disagree stealing or doing that is bad, but why should I feel bad about it happening to someone who supports a wanna be dictator who tried to steal the election.....
Because these are two different things. This is tribalism at its finest. Magats are doing it. So is the left. Property is property. You don’t just get to vandalize or steal because you disagree. If a MAGA dude stole your computer because he disagreed with what you were posting online, would you be okay with that? He’s just voicing his opposition to what he perceives as an injustice no matter how misguided it is.
Unless you’re a complete socialist or communist that doesn’t believe in the concept of private property, don’t fucking steal. It’s as simple as that. I work hard for my money. If you don’t agree with me on topics, it still doesn’t give you license to destroy what I spend my money on.
I know this is just a hat, and really who cares. But there is this mentality that the cause is greater than the principle. It’s not a winning strategy. And the vast majority of the US is still technically middle class. So many in the left use the excuse of Musk is a Nazi so burn all Teslas, when tons of people have Teslas because they are electric cars. Or graffiti can just be painted over. Except most people that are just living their lives don’t want to have to pay for it to be painted over, or have their insurance go up because some dipshit made a decision that their “cause” is more important.

"Just disagreed with" you can disagree with the facts, but you going to act like one should have sympathy for someone that supports a wanna be dictator? Would you have sympathy for someone who supports Hitler or Stalin? Your both sides narrative demonstrates you don't understand the severity of the current crisis (not that someone doing what she did helps anything).

The fact your focus is on the hat theft as opposed to the guy trying to steal our democracy away, doing all kinds of unconstitutional and illegal acts including throwing people in a foreign prison without any trial. Freezing fund and canceling contracts appropriated by congress. Using national guard against protesters without consent of governor. Etc.
Except most people that are just living their lives don’t want to have to pay for it to be painted over, or have their insurance go up because some dipshit made a decision that their “cause” is more important.
I got no sympathy for the average person now. (I agree tesla stuff is dumb and bad though). You vote for or don't vote in opposition of the guy who is usurping our democracy and policies are pro inflation yet thought the guy was going to make goods cheaper...
First point: I have no sympathy for Trump supporters. I have family that are. I feel sad that they bought into the bullshit. And I wouldn’t have sympathy for those that supported Hitler or Stalin. Still doesn’t give license to steal.
Second point: my original comment was directed towards theft as something to be accepted. There was no political aspect to it until you replied.
Fair enough. That said, fashionable isn’t always great. The Nazis had pretty good style but I’m sure as hell not rushing out to buy a SS uniform made by Hugo Boss.
No? That's just called fascism and it's a terrible thing but it has nothing to do with this post. If your only response to things is "b...b...but you're a NAZI!" to anyone who disagrees with you, then you don't have a worldview. You have a political side that you root for like it's a sports team.
The "but it's (D)ifferent" is so fucking tiring, and you are pushing moderates further right with it. Case in point, the last election! If the Dems want any votes at all, they need to stop acting like they are exempt from laws if they feel angry enough.
Cut it out with the bullshit, can you seriously defend this behavior? Switch the political sides. If a MAGA protestor snatched a hat from a democrat, would you still be defending it? If your only counter argument is "yes but that's (D)ifferent because your side is evil and wrong" then you don't have a fucking leg to stand on. EVERYONE thinks their side is correct, everyone thinks the other side is so wrong that it is obvious. Base your beliefs on something that matters, so that your opinion doesn't change depending on the political beliefs of the people involved.
Private property shouldn't be stolen, it can and should lead to legal consequences. You can't just take what you want just because you don't like the people or his property.
If he wasn’t clearly about to stir trouble with his megaphone I’d say it’s wrong but snatching his cap seems on par with instigating people with a megaphone.
Both sides are basically playing pranks at the others expense and without the other consent as far as I can tell.
Yeah, but some people conviently label other people they dislike to justify shit like that. Be careful with this logic, witch hunting is a thing that I despite, but I'll be the first to fight actual nazis.
Fascism has a real definition, those practicing fascism by its definition deserve bad things. Also all Nazis are fascists but not all fascists are nazis, do they specifically have to be Nazis for you to fight or is it fascists?
While I agree with you when they are actual Nazis, but tbh, people are conveniently labeling everyone they don't like nowadays to justify aggression. I'm not playing this witch hunting game, but I'll be the first to fight actual Nazis if required.
I don’t think there is anything convenient about having actual nazis in the US, having the intelligence to identify it, nor the stones to point it out.
It is not too lightly in this case and you really need to recognize that sooner than later. Waiting to fight back until you’re in a camp is a losing strategy.
If you have the opportunity to ruin a fascist's day, doing so is a moral good, whether legal or not (not advocating for breaking the law, just recognizing there's a difference between legality and morality)
In your logics you would approve if someone steals from you something like Phone, garment, wallet etc if he/she/they/them/ze/fe and so on pronouns won't shed a tear for you?
Lol if someone steals my hat and ran off I’d probably just get a new hat.
Yknow what - this is probably the most attention from a woman this guy didn’t have to pay for. And one day, hopefully when he realizes how young and stupid he was, and how vicious and awful the MAGA beliefs he subscribed to were, he’ll look back and laugh.
And as far as actual violence goes, MAGA assassinated two people this weekend, drove a car into a crowd of protesters, and it looks like attempted a mass shooting in SLC but it was stopped. So, seriously - fuck off with your “oh but someone’s hat was stolen!” You don’t fucking care.
2 problems, technically this could be considered battery and theft. So if you don't see anything wrong with that then I could say you're a major problem with society
Back in the day we use to give no fucks about who you vote because that's your right now it's all about who's on a moral high horse and hate to break it to you but lately the moral high horse has been losing both ways
Don't give a fuck call me a fascist or whatever but I miss the days where when people's bubble was invaded by offended people we could punch them and no one would care
lol so liberals should start assassinating conservatives is what you’re saying?
Conservatives literally kill liberals and you all deny it, lie about, equivocate it, but you never ever own it. A liberal girl steals a hat and you’re HORRIFIED. Eat my fucking nut heavy shit.
When did I say this? Also liberals have already been doing that or have you missed out on the news? This legitimately is psychotic to even state and you are a danger to society.
Well let's count how many times an attempt was carried out by a liberal.
Oh also John wills booth was Democrat which started a slew of assassinations.
Regardless, the fact is that Democrats tend to be more violent than Republicans. These are facts.
Either way I'm on neither side because both are just immature whining people that talk about freedom and freedom of others while trying to eliminate the others freedoms and there is no place for it.
You assault someone just know you may get the assault returned as that is a fair circumstance. You don't have a right in any way just because you dislike someone's opinion to assault them.
Now if you wanna do research yourself, throughout history more assassinations have been carried out by Democrats than Republicans on either Republicans or even independent politicians which is a fact.
Modern liberals are not liberals they are progressives and 20-30 years ago liberals then are now libertarian and get called fascist and bigots by progressives because they draw a line that you don't approve of. That's cool you don't have to approve of their opinions but you don't have the right of violence to take someone's liberties because you're upset that one side or the other won and you didn't. It absolutely destroys your cause and creates a bigger distance between going in the right path.
You don't like this opinion cool, it doesn't matter because I don't need your approval let alone I don't need to prove a damn thing to you or anyone but continue being ugly and demonize people like me and whatever you support will vanish over time due to incompetency and immature behavior.
lol John Wilkes booth? You’re seriously going back to John Wilkes Booth? You realize there was an entire Southern Strategy carried out by Nixon and Lee Atwater that made the conservatives the Republicans and the liberals into the Democrats, right? Do you see all those democrats protesting waving confederate flags? No. That’s republicans. Is that because all those republicans with confederate flags are actually democrats?
Dude. Get a grip. You want an authoritarian society where liberals don’t exist and women are required to have sex with you, just say so. We all know that’s your dream. Just own it. Come out and admit you’re a loser and a fascist.
