The far right in this country has co-opted our national flag and now uses it as a symbol for hatred and exclusion. We MUST fight back and reclaim the flag.
I propose we begin displaying our own distinctive flag imagery, perhaps using the gold trim flag authorized in 1835.
I want someone to ask that man on camera how he feels about the Republicans saying that people like him are democrat actors. That’s the viral video we need to show that’s the Trump playbook and always has been. They’ve been manipulated and lied to.
Don’t let the media sell them that desperation or desolation…. They have hope, they have options, the true struggle is organized they just have to join in the Kumbaya…
Why are they allowed to use the police instead of security guards for their district meetings? Are they that controversial? They shouldn't be to the citizens that they are representing. The Maga Republicans are wild!🤦🏾♀️
Nope. He’s local, he’s a democrat, and he has previously run for office. He’s the real deal. Unfortunately, Asheville is the blueberry in the tomato soup
That’s very reassuring. I too live in a blue county in a sea of red and my representative is a dollar store Lurch knockoff, so you know he doesn’t do town halls here.
He got real mad because it personally affected him. Don’t know his party affiliation, but if he’s at a (R) town hall that’s a strong indicator. When shit starts to actually touch people’s lives maybe then there’ll be a reckoning. Until then I guess it’s just more performative noise on Faux Spews.
probably bc they know he and the other vets in the room would fucking annihilate them. wonder how long it's gonna take bf the cops start bringing guns into the building bc the constituents "made them feel unsafe..."
Be a Hero like Mahmoud Khalil

I know Jay Carey personally. He’s a combat veteran and lifelong Democrat who ran for Congress in 2022.
Do you have a source for this alleged interview you’re referring to, or is this yet another instance of spreading negative stereotypes without checking facts?
Then the next step is to delete the comment. Folks aren’t going to comb your replies to see if the baseless accusation you made was true. They’re just going to see yet another person whose Ready-Fire-Aim gossip confirms their existing biases.
They voted against their own interests, and now they're paying the price despite agreeing with a man who would tear them apart.
I'm more than aware that there are vets that are more respectable and didn't vote red, but there should've been a stronger reaction from the crowd instead of cheering.
Asheville is deeply progressive, and Jay Carey is a lifelong Democrat who ran for Congress in 2022. Be careful who you paint with such a broad brush when you say “they.”
After the days we've all been dealing with, I'm sorry for the jaded remark. It's just stressful that so much is happening and nothing is being done to stop it. I'm glad we have folks that are making noise, but more needs to be done. If you know him personally, then I trust your words.
But . . . Trump said: “And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America. It's back.” What he actually meant is "There is more than one kind of freedom. Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from.”
Since the federal government has become lawless, the Dems should have allowed it to shut down. Better no federal government than a totalitarian dictatorship.
If federal employees aren't being paid, they won't work, and trump will have no one to do his bidding (no CBP, no FBI, no Marshals, etc.) They won't work for free
Fox News had the audacity to repeatedly refer to him as a “self described” veteran as they mocked him. The guy is a Bronze Star recipient that engaged in multiple combat deployments, yet this is the respect our country now gives him???
Try being a woman vet. Any mention of our service and some other vet chud wants to compare DD214s. Look how they treat Senator Tammy Duckworth, a double-amputee, Iraqi war combat veteran, who flew Blackhawks. That 65% of vets who voted for Trump are those deplorable people that I just described.
God, it looks like you only have 73 comments in 14 hours. I think St. Patrick has stolen your show. I know it is international drink day. But humanity is hanging to the face of earth by a blade of grass.
Step 1 is sober up... This discussion hit me hard this am.

This isnt my area either but i keep seeing articles like this. Like does everyone not understand that this keeps happening because the people are letting it happen every time. "Speaking up" does not prevent the government from violating your rights.
Basically, there is power in numbers ☺️! Stand up and encourage everyone around you to do the same and politely ASK questions such as why is this person being forcibly removed and what did this person do that is wrong. Ideally, many people will be videotaping the situation.
No ideally people will be telling the police to get their hands off of them and then get up and physically defend the person. Thats my point. Asking a fascist to stop does nothing
I get the sentiment, but advocating violence isn’t my thing. Especially online in a public forum, but it’s not my thing anywhere. I will, though, do what I can peacefully.
Vets voted for this. Over 60% voted for the idiot. Why? Why would they believe some guy who never fought in a war, never wore the uniform of the military, whose entire family avoided being a soldier, what did he say or do that convinced them he was a viable option? They have ears, they didn't hear?
They have preachers and pastors, that’s what they hear…
But we can’t place the blame where it lies in the US. We can’t admit maybe our mommies lied to us just like Jesus did.
No they didn’t. Just like civilians, many veterans don’t vote and many voted Harris. Veterans are just people, and frankly I’m baffled why you’re so eager to other us.
If you wish harm on me because there are vets who voted for Trump, I’d recommend you go fuck yourself.
Because they don't believe Trump said that. Or he said that but he didn't mean it. Or he was being sarcastic. Look, see, he hugged the flag. He has a flag pin on his lapel. He really loves us. He loves this country. He's so good at pushing his garbage lies.
I’m a vet that knew Dump was a pos in the early 80’s. I have tried for years to tell fellow vets that they fare better under Dem presidents. I believe MAGA vets never regained independent thinking since boot camp & that us non-MAGA vets never lost it in the first place. Personality types ?
The government is going to take transgender off of the must cover list for health insurance so he can end trans veteran health care he has already got a memo telling them to get rid of the anti discrimination policy’s. I know most Americans could care less about trans people but it still sucks 1/
I have to pay 500$ a month as a disabled veteran for private insurance just to get treated for being trans. That of course doesn’t include medications.
Trump and his magats never gave a fuck about us. They use us as a prop to pretend to care about vets. They are the "I almost joined, but would punch a drill instructor in the face" type. They want the appearance of being strong without actually doing anything to exhibit true strength.
Nope. He’s local, he’s a democrat, and he has previously run for office. He’s the real deal. Unfortunately, Asheville is the blueberry in the tomato soup
Funny how when they turn their back on you white folks and not just black and latinos how you finally realize how bad they are. And I can bet that this real impact on your life never happened with Biden… oh poor conservatives that hate none white folks… gfys and suffer like the others for once
Good luck, I hope it’s not too late. We warned you… first time he was surrounded by people with common sense now he has control over senate, house and surrounded by weak yes man who have shit on their noze because they lick his big fat ass so hard and deep

I expressed my extreme dislike to a small MAGA contingent in Sacramento yesterday. I calmly yelled at them as loudly as I could that they and tRump all suck Putins dick and that they’re traitors to this country. Not all Dems are scared or weak. The politel conversation days are over
#fuckMAGA
Actually I think this guy is a Democrat. So what I really need to see are Republicans that are angry and yelling. I think too many of them are still pretty excited to win the game of Monopoly to start yelling at their own yet..
Please help us because I think God is the only one who can stop trump and musk it seems. Good wins over evil most of the time. Maga is evil for sure by wanting the richest man to cut from the poorest among us. Karma is sort of getting musk. We have to finish him as he will be a threat to humanity.
Politics, political parties, and most of all politicians mean absolutely nothing in this country.
Courage and freedom is what matters?
What is it going to take to get a display?
Revolution is the solution.

Playing short commercials during pro sports games and March Madness would be the most efficient way to find ignorant Americans.
Expect this everywhere. All the law enforcement agents working against the taxpayers.
When you have such a militaristic society, the ex-military have to go somewhere.

We didn't serve to see THIS bullshit.

BUZZZZ
I’m hoping to get a mic. I’m a paralyzed disabled vet! Please repost! I’ll be sharing exclusive content
And his bone spurs were bullshit
But the coward went rolling along!
I just can't believe they didn't see this coming. Why did it seem so obvious to me?

In more ways than one
The country is a powder keg. trump lit the match. He's just waiting for justification to declare a national emergency.
Protests become illegal under martial law.
Midterms? Suspended until we're "safe."
