Then have it followed up by 'them' also destroying the monument after the fact

For starters... /s...holy crap y'all are weird.

Second, I'm referencing people in red states that typically destroy the roadside vigils, or memorials for people who were murdered.

Y'all are weird as fuck..downvote away though. Act before understanding what you're doing. Looks good on ya

Oh? What monument have "they" destroyed, exactly?

Was it the Ten Commandments one in front of a certain state capitol?

Or, perhaps you're alluding to any number of dead white rapists w/ stars & stripes on their costumes that stood, uncorrected, for too long to be excusable?

Are "they" with you right now? Whispering soft, tempting secrets like thigh-warmed honey into your totally-resistant ear holes, eh sweetcakes?

Maybe, try one fewer Macs a day and take care of you, instead. Not only can you be happier, but everyone around you'll benefit from a better you, too.

Just a thought, neighbor.

What are you talking about?

I literally have no clue what you are going on about...I was talking about the vigils/roadside memorials that maga weirdos tend to destroy that are on the sides of the road. No clue why the downvotes, or whatever the heck that other person was rambling about. I assume they are confused.

Is it true that in the states right wingers will destroy the vigils of children killed in school shootings? Like is this a thing that happens a lot?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No. I've literally never heard of such a thing and nobody would do that. No idea what op is going on about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That’s what I thought.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't verify. I was in a deep red state for a while, and I know I drove past about 15 various roadside memorials that were there for 10+ years in some cases.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I mean not to stick up for right wing butt bags but I just can’t see that being a common thing there. The states does have a habit of disappointing me though.

What are you guys talking about?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

No clue .I assume they didn't understand what I said/meant and are assuming that I'm all for hurting people or whatever..literally the opposite

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imagine being so stupid you get angry at imaginary problems.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

What are you talking about. Roadside memorials for people who were murdered have 100% been destroyed by maga people...

Try to understand something, before you act on it..please. This is my issue with ALL of humanity and one of the major reasons why I don't socalize with anybody anymore. Good riddance

A different way of putting it....the ones who insult the kid in the top photo, would also be the same ones who would destroy app the flowers for the slain kids in the bottom photo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I read the "them" statement as you pinning it as the top photo kids being the ones destroying the memorial. Plain and simple, I thought you were a maga asshole. There was no way of understanding what you were really saying with your vague statement. My bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

For sure NOT supportive of their ideology. Everyone deserves a good life. I understand my comments may not come across clear and it's something I need to work on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The issue is that nobody has ever heard of anyone destroying roadside memorials. There is no comparison because it isn't a thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I've literally seen videos of people kicking candles over, smashing photos and ripping flowers before fleeing in their pickup truck, but ok.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah this is one of those times that there should have been more words in the post first draft. A lot of people on the right say 'them' in scare quotes to talk about people they consider "undesireables"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Understood, I'll be more verbal even though I get told I talk too much/ramble. Social is confusing :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It absolutely is.
