Their “Brown Shirts” haven’t arrived yet.
These are the folks that Trump drew from out of the woodwork and validated. This is Trump’s neofascist “base” in action. This is also the crew that he wanted to appoint him to be “President for Life” under the rationale of “preserving democracy.”
This is what patriotism looks like to a pathological narcissist.
And there’s this: https://laist.com/news/kpcc-laist-reporter-attacked-during-anti-vax-rally-near-city-hall
Lessee here … a protest (protests usually are about looking for coverage in media) leader tells a reporter she does not want coverage of their event…
… … … …
"Brendan Quealy, a reporter for the Traverse City Record-Eagle, was covering a event hosted by a group opposed to vaccine and mask mandates in schools Thursday when a speaker from Citizens Liberating Michigan, Heather Cerone, addressed him directly.
“There’s no reporting, Brendan,” Cerone said. “We don’t authorize that. So, you guys feel like standing in front of him?”
The reporter was recording audio at the time, which the paper posted online with its initial story on the alleged assault. On that audio, people can be heard yelling at Quaely before at least one man is heard confronting the reporter."’
… … …
Why hold a protest if there’s no reporting on it? Never mind that being anti-mask puts everyone at risk.
So these aholes think they can hold a rally in a public place and then dictate who can ‘cover’ it or not? Really?
The pandemic has burst their misinformation bubble right in their face, they’re dying because of it, and they know it. The best analogy is a cornered, wounded animal.
They’re naturals at exercising rights while denying them of others.
Hey now, at least I’m angry at the right things and what you call ‘slovenly’, I call ‘comfortable’.
Yeah, like the ones where you leave a window open in a car just the right amount and become deafened by the alternately cancellated and amplified noises pulsing at some beat frequency that prevents you from being able to roll the window up.
No.
Exactly ! truth be told, I have run into flaming assholes like this on many occasions - idiots who - even when confronted with the fundamental facts that you can not hold some event in a public place and then throw people out ‘just because you say so’ … will continue to belligerently & forcefully attempt to do what they decide that they “should” be able to do… screw the law and regulations cause …'merica!
You’re talking about people who likely support open carry but fight against gun registration because then the govt would know who they are.
You’re really crossing over with that one.
We used to call that the Helicopter Effect.
I’m convinced that if men stopped wearing flip-flops, many of our problems would melt away.
Speaking of anti mask, I’ve asked this before but may have missed the answer - does anyone know what the hell is going on with Fla covid death statistics? The cases are soaring, but the reported deaths per case are a small fraction of what other states are reporting, so I wonder what kind of preposterous entries are being put on the death certificates.
“Patient died several months after driving to grocery store.”
The low grade 2nd civil war is heating up. Does not bode well going forward. Damn them all
They didn’t want their faces recorded to be compared to other records such as 1/6.
