Democratic Gov. Jared Polis called the Gadsden flag ‘a proud symbol of the American revolution’ after a a Colorado student was told to remove a patch of the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from his backpack.
Where do you find a “dissonance”? If anything it’s you because you’re claiming that few incidents represent around half of th US, while I just said that progressives relevant to the boy wanted to censor him
That was not what the claim I was responding to said.
You didn’t say all of republicans would shoot and kill all LGBT people they could see?

That is not relevant to this thread. We are talking about the claim that progressives want to ban all right-wing imagery. You are muddying the waters. Intentionally. Don’t be dishonest.
You were the one that brought in the other thread first, just saying https://lemmy.world/comment/3019065
Still haven’t read those articles I provided you I see.

Sorry, you have proven yourself to be dishonest in the other thread. Goodbye.
Look who’s bringing the other thread?
Wait…you actually think that 50% of the United States population self-identifies as either conservative, Republican, or some combination of the two? You need to get your fucking head examined.
If it wasn’t for gerrymandering and the electoral college Republicans would be getting draxxed in literally every single presidential election as well as a significantly larger number of Congressional and Senatorial elections.
Sure sure, that’s why it’s always around 50/50 with a slim majority that allows each party to govern
Wrong, it is because:
Republicans push policies that intentionally attempt to reduce voter turnout.
The Senate does not allow for proportional representation.
Congressional districts are so heavily gerrymandered it is a fucking joke. Then when the LITERAL Supreme Court tells Republican led states to re-draw their maps they refuse (Alabama).
Presidential elections aren’t decided by the popular vote which has leaned Democratic in every election by millions of votes over the last 30 years with the exception of Bush’s second term which was an aberration due to the post 9/11 mind-virus and on-going wars in the middle east.
There is no conservative majority in this country no matter how you slice the pie. The game is rigged to allow conservatives an implicit advantage in rural states with lower populations to be over represented in national elections as well as in both legislative houses.
I don’t know why I’m even wasting my fucking time on you…I lost the minute I started typing, but the shit you said was so fucking stupid I just couldn’t help myself…
What a surprise, cities are progressive and rural areas are conservative! It’s almost like that’s what happens everywhere
You specifically argued that conservatives represent “roughly half” of the country. They don’t. It isn’t even close to that.
Just because you never left your city doesn’t mean everyone’s a Super-Sozialist activist
I understand the mathematical realities that allow a minority party to at some points control a majority position within the government.
Just because you are too fucking stupid to understand that does not mean that 50% of the country is right wing. Go back to r/conservative with the rest of the circle jerkers.
Dude I’m not even republican
