I once worked with a Vietnamese lady who invited me and my wife over for dinner. While we were there, I noticed her husband had a swastika tattooed to his arm. The next day at work, I told a lady who worked with the Vietnamese lady about the swastika and she said "Oh, that's not a swastika. They are Buddhists and that symbol has to do with their religion." Whew, you could hear the sigh of relief coming out my mouth.I agree, not all MAGA hat wearers are racist.
Similarly, not all people who display the swastika are Nazis. There are non-Nazi uses of the swastika, even today.
Wearing a symbol that has become associated with racism does create a risk that you'll be assumed to be a racist. But it's a personal choice whether that risk is important to you.

The leadership of any political parties being out for blood doesn't mean a single thing unless the voters are out for blood. Look to the voters not the leadership.2016 was a disastrous year for our country. I actually expect 2020 to be much, much worse. I think the the leadership of the political parties will be out for blood, losing wont be an option and things are going to get far more nasty than we’ve seen before.
Didn't Buckley threaten to punch Vidal in the nose?My opinion is that it is far worse than it used to be. That we've fallen from a time when we had civil debate and the Maga hat controversy is a symbol of that.
Buckley vs Vidal was groundbreaking and now would be considered tame.
Are you saying that Clinton owns the copyright on that acronym? Wow, is Trump gonna get a nasty surprise.
He got pissed and started attacking him for being gay if I remember correctly. That's why I said it was tame.Didn't Buckley threaten to punch Vidal in the nose?
I don't know that anyone trademarked it until Trump if he did so.Reagan does. And Trump is acting like he came up with it. Just thought it up out of the blue.

I think Paris Hilton trademarked that's hot or whatever it is she said all the time. She sure didn't make that one up.
It ain't the first to say it.Reagan's family could probably make a case if they wanted. Doubt they will. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump trademark it and take the credit for inventing it.
Political Correctness is just a matter of being polite or not speaking derisively to a group of peaceful individuals. When it's carried to an extreme, then one can say it's carried to an extreme.Its sad to think that young people look to segregation as a way of not dealing with those that differ from them, and struggle being tolerant. It's a flip flop from all the efforts by many and especially MLK to stand against segregation. I think he would be sad to see so many younger people preaching hate and political correctness. Rather than colleges having safe places now days they should go back to having love ins and and promoting integration.
Sadly there is no dialogue and sadly a certain side can't see the hypocrisy when they sit and call these kids racist assholes with proof of nothing and that the maga hat is just inherently racist. Just by saying that, they already have painted half the country racist. It's crazy.Its sad to think that young people look to segregation as a way of not dealing with those that differ from them, and struggle being tolerant.

Or at a college campus that doesn't endorse free speech like the good old days!Political Correctness is just a matter of being polite or not speaking derisively to a group of peaceful individuals. When it's carried to an extreme, then one can say it's carried to an extreme.
Some political correctness such as not using the 'N' word should be carried to an extreme in some cases. Of course, you've got to think of your personal safety when you're at a KKK rally or a Nazi get together or a Skinhead meeting.
who 'did it'.
They shouldn't be called Liberals. I honestly would consider myself a liberal. A liberal today is a lot different than what a liberal used to be. Same thing with a feminist. I don't know what to call these certain people. They aren't true progressives. I wouldn't even say the are left too. Its become a whole entire new thing, whatever the hell it is and it's weirdNo question what so ever. The mini mind on the left did it! Trump did not, the wearer would not.
Notice I did not call them liberals because there is nothing liberal about them.
Same with Libtard, the word makes me cringe, but it can not be applicable.

Look who the voters gave us in the preliminaries in 2016. Look how the voters responded to the outcome there were places that rioted for basically a month. Look at the rhetoric spewed on the airwaves of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc 24 hours a day. I would argue that many voters are not just prepared to take the fight to opponents in 2019 and 2020, but that many of them have already made up their minds that they will be livid if the outcome isn't what they want. They are, already out for blood. The problem with our "leadership" is that 2015-2016 they stopped hiding behind the curtains pulling the strings and fueling the division Hillary and Trump came out swinging and swinging and never stopped they want us to be divided so they can profit off of it.The leadership of any political parties being out for blood doesn't mean a single thing unless the voters are out for blood. Look to the voters not the leadership.
This person was a leader but doesn't mind placing a tiny amount of blame when someone does something that puts them in a bad situation. So the new wave attacks.They shouldn't be called Liberals.

I'm only going to take issue with your estimation of half the country being branded. Trump's supporters are somewhere in the 35% to 39% and not all of them wear those hats. So, I'm going to peg them somewhere below 20% of the voters.Sadly there is no dialogue and sadly a certain side can't see the hypocrisy when they sit and call these kids racist assholes with proof of nothing and that the maga hat is just inherently racist. Just by saying that, they already have painted half the country racist. It's crazy.
what does a white kid have to do with anything. Yeah hes fucked up, and? what's weird to me is your kind also really dislike straight white males, it's become so bizarre. Bunch of white males hating other white males and white males being this blame for what? people are fucked. They come in all colors. What the fuck does it matter?We gotta build that wall. Another bad hombre.

They are still supporters and a person that wears that hat is likely a supporter. I am sorry you are so scared of them. Must suck making snap assumptions as opposed to getting to know them or at least getting their point of view. They very well could be stupid racists or they could be good peopleI'm only going to take issue with your estimation of half the country being branded.

It's cool to hate white people now, don't you get it? Another weirdness of the cult. Straight white males are at the top of the shit list.Nope. Gotta build a torture/prison camp.
Maybe an organ harvesting operation.
I'd prefer a hole like in the movie 300.
Hating other straight White males? Not me, only the ones that used to go around looking for gays to beat up.what does a white kid have to do with anything.

Not talking specifically about you rather some that like to shit on white people and for what reason, i don't know because there are fucked up people of every race and we are never gonna be able to solve that.Hating other straight White males? Not me, only the ones that used to go around looking for gays to beat up.
