I don't even know why they are having these rallies. Real conservatives usually don't care about that protesting crap


I feel like the Tea Party caused this resurgence of protesting, after it worked for them so well (not sarcasm).

Wasn't their whole schtick that the Republican party wasn't conservative enough?

I mean, I know what the original schtick was (less government is good, more government is bad) but that no longer holds true.

All in all it seems there were no injuries, and total arrests were 8 counter-protestors for pushing back against police as they redirected crowds forcefully to allow rally-goers safe passage,

CNN is reporting that there were *gasp* shouting matches between both sides. Good heavens.

Great job Boston!

This is basically how it should be

Minus the arrests (Or at least if they're a thing, they should be for minor, relatively non-violent things which this almost falls under)

Shouting matches are ok, maybe even good, though.

I was at an all-black caucus today discussing state politics, and there were some people there representing their Confederacy-positive group. They said a lot of things that made sense about unity and history, but then also they touched on Nathan Bedford Forrest being a civil rights leader because of some speech.

One of the Representatives thanked him for his bravery to speak up, then she immediately reminded him about how Forrest slaughtered a town's worth of unarmed black soldiers. That left her with a bit of bitterness that's hard to replace with a speech.

The awkwardness was pretty strong.

Yeah, as much as that is a really "clever" post, it's not worth conceding control of the argument to the fascists.

There are at least 6 fake pictures floating around at this point trying to make the counter-protestors look violent

Probably three fold, time and the current social climate will reflect heavily on the recollection of events. Media constantly reminds us of the effects of 9/11 but not ww2, and finally the US homeland other than Pearl Harbour was mostly unaffected by the war... and I dare say there's a lot of people that simply blame the Japanese for it rather than the Nazi regime the rest of the world was fighting. So perception might be dulled.

I like that almost everything from 9/11 to Obama is in a fixed order that all generations agree on, and stuff just drops out as people were too young for them. Moon landing is the only thing that shifts.

Edit: actually I started writing this before I noticed the moon landing shift and I thought it all stayed the same so I just corrected my statement. But now that I think about it I'm really pissed off that the moon landing dropped below Obama and ruined the whole thing. Fucking boomers.

It's "during your lifetime."

I mean really it should be on 100% of all lists but it sticks out most there.

Yeah I think generations are usually 20 years or so and 1982 is the most common start date for millennials that I've seen, so there's at least a good year's worth that were born after 9/11.

Edit: the reason 1982 is the millennial/GenX cutoff is that by many definitions, millennials are people who turned 18 and became legal adults after the turn of the millennium (don't fucking 2001 me this is not my definition)

Butters was the only other person who had access to it! Butters can't use the drone without my supervision! So where does that leave us, Randy??"

Hmmm... not sure how I feel about this. I do abhor the woman sticking her fingers right in his face constantly, if he's a white supremacist sure bollocks to him, but he gave me the impression he was just someone who had family ties to the confederacy, which while not a great thing in itself doesn't mean him paying his respects should be met with being called a terrorist.

Idk... it feels off to me.
