A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

      The founding fathers didn’t dress fancy at all, literally the attire of better of peasantry, they just made sure to look their best for picture painting day.

      the idea of Washington in his military uniform as permeated the public idea of what the man looked like to the extent that modern depictions show him wearing his military uniform when spending time at home with his children!

          if every day is picture day, no day is picture day

        If they show up for painting day wearing their fancy wigs and clothing they most certainly cared about their image.

          remember back in school, on picture day you would see everyone trying to look their best, did they do that every other day? did people come in with sweatpants? (if school allowed it), or did they wear their dress pants every day?

      Fascists like dressing fancy, but obviously not everyone who does is a fascist.

      Fascists always dressing fancy =/= everyone dressing fancy is a fascist. I’m sad to see such a pitiful level of reasoning skills, I hope you don’t vote.

        Applying the logic of someone’s statement shows poor reasoning skills?

        I typically vote Democrat, but I guess if I have poor reasoning skills I will just stay home on voting day.

          I just explained your fallacy, maybe your issue is refusing to read before replying to people instead, in this case definitely don’t vote since you may accidentally pick the republicans due to your unwillingness to read the ballots, assuming you haven’t done that already.
