The States Attorney already said its nothing more than a symbolic gesture. They legally cannot secede from the state. I have the severe misfortune of living in one of these counties. Everything around here is dead or dying because of decades of total, uncontested Republican rule. Whole towns here are nearly abandoned. And yet, they STILL bitch about how the Democrats, who have no control here, have ruined everything.

Maybe because of all of the other indications that suggest there’s some truth to it. Like the fact that Trump is one of the people most frequently photographed with Epstein, and the numerous allegations against him that named both Trump and Epstein before Trump was even running for President. Or the fact that Trump said with his own mouth that he would fuck Ivanka if she weren’t his own kid, while she was still underage. Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. And there’s an awful lot of smoke there.

Screenplay, please!

Same. Of the dozens I’ve seen taken down, about ⅓ to ½ have been replaced with Harris signs. It’s certainly been a surprise.

And I only learned about him in the first place because of Watchmen.

By all means. Full us in!

I can tell you from experience that I’d rather spend my time in the company of special needs people than Conservatives. Most of the special needs people I’ve worked with are some of the kindest and most compassionate people I know, while Conservatives seem to have built their entire ideology around having the compassion and empathy of a sociopath.

Nice!

As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.

The right is funding him in an effort to split the vote on the left in an effort to boost Trump. They’re especially desperate to split the Democrat and Independent votes since it’s become very obvious that RFK Jr has been fragmenting the voter base on the right. The libertarian votes that Trump just assumed would be his have a very good chance of going to Master Brain Worm.

Oh, I completely agree. It’s vile. That’s just how thoroughly entrenched the homophobia is in “traditional” patriarchal groups. Patriarchy doesn’t like the queer because our very existence undermines the premise of their entire power structure. This is also the same reason that most of these chuds don’t care much for the neurodivergent. We don’t fit into the status quo, typically.

Just to be clear, here, I’m not suggesting that the neo Nazis actually did take over, only that that image was the wider public perception.

Because some people interpret it as flamboyantly queer when a male does it.

That’s true everywhere. The issue isn’t what they are, the issue is how they were deliberately misrepresented. A whole lot of films and shows made it a point to conflate punks with white supremacists.

That’s got a great ring to it!

Because the Nazi skinheads did a great job of co-opting the punk title for most people who weren’t actually interested in punk. The news media were very complicit in pushing that specific image to undermine the punk movement to the general public.
