do I have this right? kneeling disrespects the flag, but beating a cop with a flag is 'legitimate political discourse'? maybe I'm new around here, but that sounds fucking nuts

they really don't believe it. they're liars. they saw what happened and they work hard trying to gaslight america. when repukes try to get you to question your sanity it is time to question theirs. (some of us have been questioning their sanity for years!)

For example, I had lunch with a Republican friend and her Republican friend about 6 months ago. The friend's friend brought up Kap and how atrocious his behavior was to kneel to the flag. And she said he needed to be ostracized for that. After her 5 minutes of pearl clutching, I said to her..."Do you realize that the same people that agree with you on that are also the same people who used said flag to gouge out an officer's eye on January 6th??!!"
Her jaw dropped and stayed hanging for a minute or so before she could meekly respond "That was terrible behavior at The Capitol." And then she changed the subject!
