Yet again, a change I missed while I was doing my thing; apparently GenZ doesn’t think America is any great shakes, and 60% of them actually prefer socialism.

Patriotism is obviously something that has to be indoctrinated into kids, and schools have apparently been doing exactly the opposite. I’m not sure we can turn this shit around?
Good thing though is that those who do like America tend to really like America, and those who don't are often foreign to the actual practice/philosophy behind their "un-American" preferences.

Another example of Ooky reasoning manifests in tolerant-ass California.

Student Who Took Classmate’s MAGA Hat Says She Was Making Political Statement

EL DORADO (CBS13) — A Union Mine High School student is facing battery charges after an altercation in her classroom over a Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” campaign hat.

Cellphone video shows some of the tension inside this high school classroom.

The teacher is seen trying to subdue fired-up 17-year-old senior Jo-Ann Butler after she became enraged at a classmate for wearing the “Make America Great Again” hat.

She grabbed the hat off his head.

“That’s a racist and hateful symbol,” Butler said.

She is now facing two counts of battery, one against her classmate and one against her teacher who deputies say she slapped, as he escorted her from the room.

Butler says she made the scene to express her political feelings. . .

Just another Trump supporter being counter-protested.
Derp

You don't just get to bring in Trump supporters either. I have seen no story where private citizen Trump supporters have been run out of anywhere, or yelled at in any other way than protester-counter protester. -ooky

Why are you against free speech, DB? Clearly this boy wearing the hat needs to be censored.

Wearing the hat is, after all, an act of protest inviting a violent counter protest. I’m sure ooky would agree that if you dress provocatively then you kinda asked to be assaulted, right?

Right?

Oh wait ...

Props to anyone ballsy enough to wear a MAGA hat in public. It's hard enough just being seen wearing a red hat nowadays, god help ya if you're a Cincinnati Reds fan

Trump really is roaming around in all of their skulls, totally rent-free.

I'd like to see Trump start a twitter campaign against human trafficking, just to see the WaPo and the lo-infos shit their pants racing to defend slavery.

What's more iconographic than a hat? Hats leave shirts and bumper stickers in the dust.

It's a short leap from taking ones property to taking ones money.

Where would does this confiscation of property stop? Clothes, vehicles, land ?
