According to MAGA, carrying a Confederate flag into the rotunda is “patriotic”, but lowering our flags to honor the passing of a former President, is not.

That’s because MAGA now equates “patriotism” with hatred, bigotry, racism, etc., as opposed to basic decency. I guess we have the hypocritical evangelicals to thank for much of that mindset.
These MAGA people are the ones who blew off their teachers in grade and high school, they are the ones who think they are right without thought, and they are the ones who will willingly walk off the preverbal cliff by blindly following leaders like them.
The fact that he’ll celebrate his first day in office by pardoning all of those involved in January 6th should make every decent American sick. And that the leader of the insurrection will not be held accountable further underscores how f’ed up our legal system is. Felons shouldn’t be President.
It’s ridiculous but the problem is that our founding fathers never would have thought that this could ever happen so Trump found ways to skirt the law he’s done it his entire life not to mention the threats he’s made and how many people are afraid to stand up to him
Yes. The fall of the Roman Empire, the establishment and growth of the Roman Catholic Church and what became known as the ‘Dark Ages.’ A period which brought about a sort of cultural stagnation. Maybe we are entering that period again.
Once again...the OBVIOUS.... totally ignored by Joe Biden and Merrick Garland....you want to know who fucked America? Read the first part of this post ...
When Trump dies, he should receive no state funeral. The flag should not be lowered for him. There should be no military honors. He did not serve the United States, but had it serve him. He is deplorable despicable, desperate, and disgusting. Not ahead of state.
He and the MAGA movement will be a constant source of embarrassment in the history books. MAGA hats will be akin to swastikas. He won’t have anything named after him. That name will mud.
I’m not even mad at him like I used to be. He’s an immoral POS that has never changed and it never will. He has an animalistic ability to survive by throwing everyone else under the bus.
Today I’m mad and disappointed that we live in a society that can’t see the “man” for what IT is.
1/6 rioters tried to kill democracy. Trump gathered them, encouraged them, wanted to participate (“they’re not here to hurt ME”), and dallied in the WH while they ravaged the US Capitol. Trump’s shame will persist as long as American history is remembered.
Oh, be certain American History will survive. Its content is up to us. As Professor Snyder has written, do not obey in advance. We have voices and must use them.
Granted, some of those people probably got caught up in the moment, being in a large crowd of stupid people. But a hella lot showed up prepared to do battle, while the “leader of the free world” sat and enjoyed watching it on tv.
As I said to someone else's post that showed Little Trumpy's "truth":
Absolutely no problem, LT: Just know that when YOU die, we won't bother to lower the flags in the country AT ALL as clearly you don't respect the tradition of HONORING a president who has passed with the half-mast flags. 👍 👌 😁
The visual juxtaposition of this moron who probably never accomplished anything important in his entire life, traipsing through the halls of greatness . . . It’s all so wrong and unethical.
A seditious narcissist is about to ascend to an office the Constitution explicitly bars him from. Yet, the totally unqualified extremist Leonard Leo selected appointees to the highest court in land ignored the rule the law in favor of the law of rule.
Why has he not been “cancelled”? Actors and Entertainers say stupid shit and social media ends them.
There are still actors that can’t make a comeback. (Many, rightfully so).
So why can’t this waste of skin get cancelled. Like collectively we just ignore his existence.
Oh wait. MAGA is why.
That’s how Trump feels too. Except his is all about himself, Carter’s death is raining on his parade. What a fckn deplorable a**hole. Loathe him with my whole being. All those billionaires that are buying their way into USA’s money pocket are just as disgusting as he is.
It's been American tradition forever. Of course Trump doesn't follow American traditions. Especially when they distract attention from him. No Patriot would oppose it.
Supporting a flag of a group that waged civil war against our democracy is not patriotic! It is the same action Trump took when he attempted the insurrection! Former President Jimmy Carter was an honorable man. If trump had any honor he would gratefully support the flag being at half mask!
Statements like this are problematic because they group large groups of people in the same bag. Intolerance is the key to it, and one would think that is what we should be fighting.
We need to stay vigilant. MAGA is trying to destroy democracy and take over our country. This is pure bull shit. To hell with Trump and his feelings. He is not and never will be my President.
There’s no doubt he will order them raised immediately upon his inauguration. If we believe otherwise then we have learned nothing by witnessing his childish and narcissistic behavior. He’s the same awful person and half this country apparently likes that. Call it as we see it. Don’t hedge.
Since when is it "patriotic" to carry the Battle Flag of Virginia, into the Capitol of the United States of America? NO other nation ever allowed the flag of an enemy flown on their soil until the US screwed up and PARDONED the Confederates.
Let them think what they want. What they think is none of our business. It’s what we KNOW, what can be backed up by research, that counts. Those poor things are going to need all the help they can get when they realize what’s really going on. We TOLD them what was going to happen; they didn’t GAF!
Ugh 😣 so done with the stupidity and ugliness. Jimmy Carter had more empathy in his pinkie than all of the MAGAs. Yet again, he who shall not be named makes it about him…
Watching the pomp & circumstance at Carter's GA funeral service as I write this and I know it's killing trump that all this attention is being paid to him...
Suggestion for donnie. If he doesn’t like flags being lowered he should make a special request that when he passes away they don’t lower them. Also keep the funeral simple and private while being buried next to his ex-wife at the golf course.
I am tempted to show up at the inauguration with an American Flag pole at half staff...If enough people did this it might be a msg hard to ignore. of course it would increase his crowd size...so that's a negative
Reposting every nonsensical thing MAGA says only increases their exposure, and even when critical, ultimately amplifies and helps enable them. We know already. As PT Barnum said, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
I take some solace in the fact that Germany is a reasonably healthy democracy today, 80 years after Hitler splattered his brains out inside the Führerbunker.
But I wonder how decent Germans reintegrated the Nazis after the War, and just what it took.
President Carter was an honorable Human Being who lived his life caring about humanity and lived that live !!!!
He tried to show the rest of us what Humanity was meant to be. Not what it has become.
That piece of shit with the confederate flag should have been given 20 years for that act alone. Through 4 years of civil war that flag never got close to the Capitol.
These unreconstructed confederate bastards need to lose another war. We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them on the land, we will fight them on the sea, we will fight them in the air.
Republicans, yet again pretending to be reasonable while trying to cut the remembrance of Jimmy Carter. Don't anyone shorten Carter's half mast time, dammit. Too bad God took him on God's own schedule. MAGA needs to GTF over it.
You left out...No dog, No cat, no Goldfish....this is truly a sign that this creature bears the mark of the beast ...not visibly, perhaps but deeply imprinted on what, for him, passed for a Soul ..
Boycott CNN January 19 and 20. There has to be a show of force to let legacy media know that there is power in numbers.
Looking for millions of people to shut off CNN cable, streaming and Sirius. If results get traction, look to expand these actions.
Just so you know, I have ceased all connection to ALL of the cable news programs .. because they are all either spouting MagaNazi Propaganda or Left Wing, Democratic Party gaslighting about how WE are REALLY winning a war we have totally lost..fake news is fake news even when it's our own fake news.
These racist bigoted useless illiterate redneck white supremacists are not allowed to have a viewpoint. They are convinced felons in prison for their crimes.

Anyone who dares to whisper a breath of criticism of their god is therefore a traitor who deserves execution.

They no longer have original thoughts.
They play "monkey see, monkey do" MAGA style!
Run!!!
Don't show Sly.
Is he going to do the dance from the Rocky Horror Picture Shoŵ??
Ahhh... probably not!

2) a direct link between national collective narcissism and trumpism.
3) US adults who scored high on both SDO and authoritarianism were more likely to vote for Trump.

I thought it was just a coincidence that it'll be half mast then.

Make America white again
Trump wants to celebrate? Go eat a burger...
That isnt a flag that deserve to be folded. Just dump in the fire after cleaning my toilette.
Well posted

They'll want all the half-staff and ceremony for Trump, proclaim a month of mourning, etc.
Perhaps Trump will hold to tradition and leave the flags at half-mast. Nah, his ego won't let him.
