I want to reply to this.... As I was called out for some of these statements... And was told that I was "Asking for it" in regards to my American flag to be stolen...
First about the American Flag... in my area during the last election, Biden supporters were stealing American flags. I have security cameras up on my home, but that particular flag was out of range... They couldn't steal my Trump flags as they were on my front porch... so they stole my American flag instead..
That flag was not up to support Trump. In fact it was well over thirty feet away from my Trump flags deliberately... I have flown that flag since I bought my home in 1996 to celebrate that we still have the freedom to vote, and to agree to disagree... I hung it, as I always had, as my family is full of veterans, and my family has been in every conflict America has ever faced... It had ZERO to do with Trump versus Biden...
Stealing that flag was not "funny", it was a crime, and anyone who applauds it, is essentially saying they support theft so long as it aligns with your political beliefs... It is about as correct as suggesting that a rape victim "asked for it", merely because she wore a dress outside...
Again, A crime is a crime...
Also, I want to state that for the record, I had a blue stripe in my hair when I was in high school. It was fun and I did it just to "Be different"... It was more a nod to just being an individual, and a fashion statement at the time...
What I was referring to however, was not those just making a fashion statement, or even those that have different colors of hair, dress or lifestyles. Although people would have you believe I am this or that for even having an opinion on it at all...
I was referring to those who dress up wearing wigs they normally do not wear, clothing they do not normally wear... T Shirts they would not normally wear (Like Black lives matter)... hoping to be a part of a "flash mob" type of environment, for recognition or acceptance... Short shorts, and anything that grabs the attention of people passing by...
I was also referring to those who smeared red paint on their legs for shock value, when the topic of Rowe vs. Wade, recently reappeared... and marched through my town... Those actions they would not normally behave in...
These are the same folks who will paint on their windows "Black Lives Matter", when the day before, they didn't feel so inclined to do so... But suddenly they feel so "moved" by the issue, they have to openly paint it on their homes, businesses, and place stickers on their vehicles that they believe this... To prove they are not racist, but if you do not follow suit, you MUST BE racist!
This is a trend we are seeing more and more, where these same individuals are a part of any and all "Social events" that touch on a sensitive issue, yet they do nothing more about those issues, nor were they before they arose, yet they appear in ALL of those parades, claiming they "care... " and if you call them out on it, they openly shame you for NOT being a part of it, and they gather their groupies to shame you as well...
These are individuals hoping to have some issue they can "participate" in, even if they do not support it. But they want to be a part of something they hope will make them appear to be tolerant of EVERYTHING.... and of course it doesn't hurt that they can later post the videos or images online for clicks and likes, or views... All while shaming their neighbors for not following them as they march through town...
Sadly it seems more a cry out to be accepted, where they will change their skin daily to "Fit in" somewhere, like most children do in grade school, until a group accepts them. Only now they have their own group. It is a group of people who do nothing more than shame others who do not participate in their ridiculous cries out for attention, while real people are working hard to provide for their families, not even engaging in the topics whatsoever, as they truly do not take issue with them...
So when I posted...
"they run home to cry in their comfy pillows..."
I was implying that THESE are the individuals who get upset when the local community doesn't embrace their "wokeness.... " and as a result of not embracing it, they then go on social media crusades to shame them somehow... And it isn't one side or another, but a small group of individuals from seemingly out of nowhere behaving this way.
I am not alt right, I am not left wing... I am an American who just has opinions like everyone else does... And if I get upset when someone co opts my paycheck to support people who didn't get here legally? It doesn't make me intolerant.. It is me standing up for my rights to not be infringed upon, as we do have legal immigration...
If I offended anyone in my last post, I do apologize... That was not my intent. And I do not ask that you agree with me... But I do ask that you do not support crime because it is funny... Nor that you support people behaving in a mob mentality because they think it is a fun activity, or they feel the need for social acceptance...
