Such an insane crisis that we’re not ready to confront. But I’m sure Manchin will find an answer over a midnight moonshine session with Collins and Murkowski. Which was a real thing. He should definitely try to work with republicans on ways to prevent their existence. It’s truly a bipartisan cause.

Democrats don’t need any comment made at that carnival to know that voter suppression is the GOP’s path moving forward, and has been for years. Whether they do something about it is the million dollar question.

Just wondering if this is Shyster slowly realizing he voted for a white supremacist fascist in November, not wanting to quite admit it to himself. Like a single issue gun voter assuming all the clowns in Washington are the same - only now realizing that you have to sign up for a bunch of other stuff too when you get in bed with that group.
What I have realized is that you and some other posters here have so absorbed and internalized your partisan hatreds that you are willing to believe anything, and assert anything—no matter a complete lack of proof, and no matter how specious—so long as it makes your political opponents look bad. I think that's sad.

Terribly sad what has happened to the liberals who observe what happened to the most influential political party on the planet.

Nevertheless, on we go. So here’s a guy who has 700 or so days before he can switches parties. Might as well do it now, tbh. There’s no point to following the senate soap opera until the PA and Wisconsin seats flip in’22. Manchin and Sinema truly deserve the worst.

I don’t know what people think my political persona on here is but I don’t consider myself aligned with a political party, so I don’t think I’m playing any partisan games. That said, I don’t think it was an accident. And, even if it was, it’s a bad look that they didn’t even realize what it was. Supporters of the republicans party fly flags with the rune, it was explicitly called out as a symbol used by white supremecists in that article about the military and the party has had to deal with 4 years of being compared to nazis

I think you’re being unnecessarily obtuse. Maybe it was an accident but it doesn’t exactly quiet the “republicans are literal nazis” hyperbole

It’s like they’re purposely ignorant to the people they claim to represent.

If you think the CPAC stage was purposefully set up to ape a WWII Fascist symbol you are as gullibly ignorant as any Qanon person.

Same with people who are still trying to convince themselves the okay symbol is some super secret white supremecist hand signal.

a weird global organization of jews who sex traffic in the basement of a pizza place (or whatever QAnon is) vs one ill-meaning stage designer who snuck their way through a few approval processes

I only know this story from here over the last few days but it sounds like some smart ass stage designer knows (and probably sympathizes with) NAZI history and thought it would be funny to create this year's "OK symbol is for white-supremacy" gag to own the libs.

It’s really weird that the “anyone who thinks the CPAC stage was a nazi symbol is dumb” crowd is also the same crowd that said Trump’s words won’t do anything. There’s a certain amount of blindness to the even slight possibility of certain things happening.

Here's where I stand on that... there are actually neo-nazi, white nationalists, "Jews and colored people are the problem" people within the ranks of the GOP. That's an actual thing. They voted for Trump at a 99.99% clip. Did they purposefully design a stage to look like a nazi symbol? I don't freaking know. As I've said, I don't think they did, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. This thread seems to be proof that where you fall just depends on who's team you're on.

Qanon's non-sense has been debunked over, and over, and over again. Jan 6th was a date that a good portion of them may have finally realized it was all a ruse. None of it was real. If there are still followers, they're the hardcore nut jobs that can't see the evidence that's very clearly in front of them. Hopefully after Thursday, even more leave the ranks.

As to the okay symbol... clearly in and of itself, it's not a white supremecist hand signal, as you and your brethren here have posted over, and over, and over images of others doing the okay symbol. However, when it was then adopted by those white supremecists as a *wink, wink* joke, it became one. Intent is everything.

Essentially equating the two is disingenuous at best.


But none of this matters, and it's all stupid.
