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.
The meme here depicts where the United States has gone recently. Our president starts an illegal and unnecessary war.
Can he stop it? Neither quickly nor easily.
Does he deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? Absolutely.
In case it’s not already clear, Trump supporters buy virtually zero of Neil Young’s music, if only because it’s aggressively anti-racist, e.g. “Southern Man,” and “Alabama.”
Imagine you’re a white person living in the Deep South, and you come across these lyrics: “Alabama, you have the rest of the union to help you along. What’s going wrong?”
How large is your appetite for this man’s music?
Here’s another reminder of how far to the extreme low brow right the American conservative movement has swung.
The only political experience Mike Lindell has comes from his having eagerly accepted Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was rigged with massive voter fraud, for which there is exactly zero evidence.
As a consequence, Lindell is facing multiple lawsuits, including a June 2025 verdict ordering him to pay $2.3 million to a former Dominion Voting Systems employee for defamation. He also faces lawsuits from Smartmatic for defamation and a suit over a $3 million unpaid loan.
That’s it, folks. No experiencing running a small town in Alabama, let alone a state full of well-educated progressives in which Trump lost to Kamala Harris by a full 4% in 2024.
Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) Endorses Mike Lindell
