Besides being racist assholes, there’s one other point to the two pics of the same Confederate flag that I’ve seen linked to here.
That flag is the Confederate flag, but it has the silhouette of an assault rifle imposed on it, and at the bottom are the words “Come and Take It.”
This was taken from the Come and Take It flag from the Texas Revolution in the 1830s, against Mexico. That flag usually is white with a black cannon and the words at the bottom.
So not only are they using Confederate imagery in Michigan, they’re appropriating Texas pride imagery.
It’s all about the imagery. What gets the libs all worked-up better than a big Confederate flag, guns, threatening sloganism, “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, the camo gear, Trump paraphernalia, etc., etc. Attention-seeking whores, one and all.
I’m sure these protests are coming to my neck of the woods (eastern WA/northern ID). We have shit-for-brains Matt Shea in WA and deranged Heather Scott in ID. Scott is calling the ID governor (very much a Republican) “Little Hitler” for ordering a state shutdown:
I suspect you’ll be seeing these [del]protests[/del] mobs of morons only in states with Democratic governors - after all, Ohio was quite early on the public lockdown, but there don’t appear to be any mobs there yet.
The local news, in covering the Michigan. event, interviewed a young girl (maybe 8 years old) who was a part of the protest. She feigned indignance at being restricted from gathering with her friends. She said her civil rights were being taken away from her and that it was not fair.
It was at this point my emotions went from anger to profound sadness.
mmm
