Olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social: I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate. "how could someone fly a Mexican flag at an LA protest? Heavens, what will Steve, a downwardly mobile CPA in Madison Wisconsin make of this affront?" personally if - big if - Steve is paying attention I think he should probably just fucking deal with it?

We are also a nation of immigrants, and cultural heritage and pride is huge among those populations, which is something Wonderbreadville USA can't seem to understand, but also actively hates. My wife is 4th generation Mexican American, was born out of the Chicano movement, and they all celebrate their Mexican heritage while also being more American that the idiots screaming about white rights. No one gets pissy about a German, English/UK, French, Canadian, etc flag, but the second the flag of a brown country is flow, people lose their minds without a hint of irony.
