Almost all respondents on social media were enthusiastic about banning the garb at left.

Two points:

1) I’m thrilled to live in a country that protects its people’s freedom of expression.  As an older American, I’m not crazy about massive tattoos, face-piercings, and young guys walking around with their pants worn down around their knees, but I’m a real fan of the United States Constitution.

The author of the meme might want to take a peek.  It’s a good read.

2) What actually works on a societal basis, and what no one can regulate, is public acceptance or rejection.  You’re free to wear extreme forms of the hijab, or claim that the Holocaust was a hoax, or believe that the Earth is flat, or tell your neighbors that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, that you, with no training in science, think climate change is a hoax, or that vaccines are often lethal.

However, you’ll pay a stiff price in terms of acceptance into refined society.  Want to get a high-level job or join a country club dressed like that?  Do you think that spouting off the gibberish of uneducated MAGA slobs in the workplace will advance your career?

Good luck.

There are essentially two forms of government on this planet: those that care about the wellbeing of their citizens and serve their interests and those that don’t.

Until the late 20th Century, one could have plausibly argued either way re: the United States.  Since about 1980, it’s been clear that we really couldn’t care less about the sufferings of the common American.

It’s really become part of our brand.  Billionaires deserve tax cuts.  The middle class is shrinking, and the poor deserve a kick in the ass for not working harder.
