She may not explicitly "endorse" or "support" the Confederacy. But she clearly has no problem cozying up to Confederate supporters if they show up to one of her rallies. If any, I repeat ANY, Democrat were trying to do a campaign event and somebody busted out a Confederate flag within 100 yards of them, they would immediately stop everything and get it taken down. There would just be zero tolerance for that sort of thing. But when the GOP has become this extreme, in order to get close to a majority coalition they have to tolerate and wink at all of the badniks like Neoconfederates, racists, homophobes, the occasional literal Nazi (see: very fine people with tiki torches at Charlottesville), etc.

You can tell me you don't like either major party candidate this election and boo hoo about it. But one party's candidate is okay with this shit and the other party is not. That matters a hell of a lot to me.

Nearly every idiot that does that is immediately sent away. Opportunist media will immediately take pics like it's there the whole time. Also, nearly every time it's actually a left wing nut trying to make it seem like Conservatives support that nonsense. But you guys would never know that, because you would never investigate to find out yourselves. You would rather live in your own little box and believe everyone else is what the media tells you. This type of bs goes both ways too. The right media will do the same to the left.

Confederate flags are not that uncommon in conservative areas

Conservative areas like Trump rallies.

Google “maga rally confederate flag” and click on images for a plethora of pictures of Confederate flags at Trump rallies. A bunch have sewn in Trumps name into the flag for a nice touch.

Do you have any evidence to support that wild claim?

We love Donald Trump so much we want to name oceans after him.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 62731.html
A proposed bill from a House Republican would rename coastal waters around the US after former president Donald Trump, whose administration rolled back dozens of environmental rules while he was in office.

I don't like Josh Hawley at all, but I did enjoy seeing him skewer the CEO of Boeing over their bad safety record.

And right below it, can we post “There is no god but God and Muhammad is His prophet”?
