Why do the Nazis cover their faces? Could it be that they don't want anyone to know who they are, like their boss or their neighbors? Who are they hiding from?
This has been the most unusual time in our nations history when which side you support is can cause major disruption. My older brother, Vietnam vet that I once looked up to started attacking me on face book every chance he got-not for any post but because he knew I didn’t like trump so I left Facebook that before Donald Trump was my way of connecting with my family in the east coast but became a nightmare after. I couldn’t believe how my brother changed. We’ll never speak again and it’s been years now.
Lisa, not all of us that took an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, and wore an American Flag on our sleeve, badge on our chest, ever wore a hood, a member of the KKK, or any other became a member of any other organization which didn’t uphold to the principles of the Constitution or our government.
But, I will be the first to admit that we had a lot of bad apples in the barrel. The issue for every department is culling them out before it’s to late, and preventing more from getting into the rank and file.
Right. And most do honor their oaths, and years ago, before it became badge of shame or honor people could openly name their politics, explain why, and that was that. We used to sit in the canteen on our big 20 minute breaks and discuss issues, agree or disagree and never took it personally.
When G. W. Bush won against Gore I was shocked but even then I could say that without anyone getting enraged.
If they were so right they would let their freak flags fly and allow the chips to fall where they may. In their hearts of hearts, they know they are wrong, they just do not care.
Oh I think they believe in what they’re doing but yes they know it’s wrong. The crazies have come out of the nooks and crannies where they once kept a low profile. I’ve known since GW Bush won the electoral college that their were a lot of shallow minded people in America but Trump has gone where no man-or woman-had gone before. He’s a lunatic and why he ever had a following is beyond me.
Because they know they are terrorists who are on the wrong side of not only history, but everything. Bunch of blood thirsty sociopaths and narcissistic brats.
I wouldn’t live anywhere else than Broward County in South Florida, because my late husband and I founded an environmental organization that uses our own fleet of canoes to accomplish waterway cleanups and after 30 years and hundreds of cleanups and helping volunteers feel like environmental heroes I’m not stopping now. I remember when we had Democrats as Governors, and even some Repubs weren’t too bad. In 2020 I finally overcame all the obstacles to becoming an American citizen (I was born in Canada) and immediately signed up to vote Democrat and vote for Biden. All our younger volunteers are also voting Democrats, so don’t give up on our beautiful state. Maybe the old Northerners who’ve brought their rethuglican beliefs with them will croak soon, or another hurricane will wipe out The Villages.
Good luck with that, Donna. Seems the more hurricanes hit the state the more northerners moving to the state. The Villages just get bigger and bigger!
DeStupid has turned so much farmland into concrete in that state that he’s allowed to to go from second in production of good and produce to fifth or sixth in the nation, behind California, Texas, Arizona, Washington state, and New Mexico. That’s what’s appalling.
I work with the Missouri Stream Team doing much the same sorts of things, but I would give anything to move to Canada. If I were given the state of Florida, I would happily sell it and buy a province!
I'm not a violent person but I have no problem with designating one day as a national holiday to be 'Punch A Nazi In The Face' day. You could pick the day. Or it could be multiple days. Or every day. Choices people, choices.
Great idea. Especially the option of picking the day. A good word for this day is BACKPFEIFENGESICHT, or "face that cries out for fist." It is, ironically, a German compound word.
I think there should be a carve-out from the free speech clause for nazis, neo-nazis and nazi sympathizers. It has no place in civilized society. And aren’t they our sworn enemy we fought in WW2? They are deemed a hate group and terrorist organization. Can individual citizens or states declare themselves as Nazi free zones, like they can do with guns? Nazism is essentially anti-American.
I’m a paid subscriber too. Maybe the option doesn’t show up on my iPhone ? I’ll try it on my Mac next time but mostly use my iPhone. Are you using your computer or phone?
Like today's GOP, they're anti everything. When the tangerine turd said there are good people on both sides, that pretty much said it all. Nothing like having both Russian and Nazi support.
“We fought an actual war about this, remember.” You assume that they ever learned anything about our history and even if they knew and did remember, they can disregard the worst of any evil if it works for them.
Exactly...we fought a war against the Confederacy as well, and that hasn't stopped the Racist Confederates with their flags and Southern uniforms either! Unfortunately, American's always been so willing to give "the other side" a chance AFTER they've been defeated!
What we should have done, is what that bartender did in Jeff's note: get a bat and tell them to get out and don't let them get a foothold!
The shithole known as Floridastan, dictated to by deeSatan...and the residents of the State are silent. The Holocaust Survivors living in that State are SILENT. The at least 3 Holocaust Museums in that State are SILENT. The rethuglicons who are obsessed with "courting" the Jewish vote are SILENT. WHAT THE FUK?
The sane folks are doing the best we can. It is now dangerous to speak out. Forget about protesting...I’ve done it many times here. But now it’s worth your life. Marching in July 4 parade with a Democrat shirt will get you harassed. Having a Coexist bumper sticker will get your tires slashed. You can assume anyone/everyone is packing heat. It’s easy to blame people for not speaking out when they don’t live in a fascist state. And please don’t ask why I don’t leave. I would if I could, but I can’t...yet.
Well...would YOU speak up and then deal with being threatened by these guys...? I know I wouldn't. That's why I won't put out political signs for Dems here, I don't need any trouble. I'll speak my opinion at the ballot box.
All hell is breaking loose down here because Nazis, Moms for Liberty, Proud Boys & other hate groups vote for DeSatan, Pedo Gaetz, & BaT Boy Scott. FL is mecca for them. I went to a school board meeting here last week that lasted 5 hours. I attended in support of the NAACP. Board meeting was supposed to be focused on rejecting the new African American standards (slavery is beneficial). Instead, Moms For Liberty & Proud Boys hijacked the meeting & held the rest of us hostage reading graphic pornography allegedly found in school libraries. Now the school board members are getting death threats. Nothing will be done because law enforcement is extremely pro DeSatan, & DeSatan endorsed many M4Liberty candidates.
I have friends and family who live in America’s Dangly Bit. I love them dearly, but they know I won’t be visiting them anytime soon. Oh, and my niece’s home insurance has been going up up up. I honestly don’t know why anyone would want to live there. If you want to see the Mouse, go to Disneyland in Anaheim.
Homeowners insurance is going up when you renew your policy next. No matter where you live. I have Travelers and it went up a couple hundred (March 2023) explaining the weather activities being what is costing them to pay for claims in hurricane states.
As a Floridian, this is appalling. Rhonda Santis is the most disgusting governor, and God forbid this guy ever gets near the White-house. I’d like to know where Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is? She’s JEWISH!
My father was a WWII veteran. Seeing a swastika makes me sick and angry at the same time. There is cancer in Florida and the nation that needs to be cut out. If you see these fucks in your community, beat the fucking shit out of them. You can't reason with them. You have to kick their asses. Dad's generation did.
Werner Herzog is a German movie director who, several years ago, tweeted something along the lines of "if you've got a Nazi at the table with ten friends, you've got eleven Nazis...."
Karl Popper said "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them..."
But I like the meme that says "our grandparents didn't vote for fascists - they shot them."
Same! My dad had PTSD (although it didn’t have a name) for the remainder of his life, as I’m sure countless Veterans did, and these fuckers make me want to to hurt them. They don’t know that living under a fascist regime would be bad for them too; they think because they’re fascist they rules won’t apply to them.
Thank you; I appreciate that. It’s insane that people can watch trump care only about himself for years and still think he will take care of them. Ask his co-defendants how that’s working for them 😂.
If your beliefs require that you cover your entire face in public so that no one you know sees you, you may want to re-evaluate your life and ask why you're afraid to be seen by anyone who knows you. Could it be that maybe you're a simpering shitstain on the crusty underwear of life?
Do you think, perhaps, that in a society that never runs out of ways to be shitty to people that maybe you're not helping?
But yeah my gaming group got "the polite Nazi" too and I made it damn clear that wasn't gonna fly. Two swastika tattoos on either side of the neck. Just plain as day.
I'm no hero. In fact, I'm kind of a monster, but even I'm not that brass-bold about it.
"If your beliefs require that you cover your entire face in public so that no one you know sees you, you may want to re-evaluate your life and ask why you're afraid to be seen by anyone who knows you." Full fucking stop. This is why you need to write more.
My favorite part is how all the Nazis, White Supremacists hide behind masks just like the Klan did with their hoods and love white sheets. Cowards all. Amazing that there a lot of Jews living in Florida and vote for this shit
Why do the Nazis cover their faces? Could it be that they don't want anyone to know who they are, like their boss or their neighbors? Who are they hiding from?
Why do the KKK wear hoods? Same reason.
They’re afraid if they are recognized then people will see they are actually the “pillars of the community”, or “state elected officials”!
Law enforcement officials mostly!

I feel your family issue TJ. I have the same issue with my brother.
Lisa, not all of us that took an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, and wore an American Flag on our sleeve, badge on our chest, ever wore a hood, a member of the KKK, or any other became a member of any other organization which didn’t uphold to the principles of the Constitution or our government.

Full stop.
I remember all those assholes who got fired from their jobs after Charlottesville
If they were so right they would let their freak flags fly and allow the chips to fall where they may. In their hearts of hearts, they know they are wrong, they just do not care.

He’s a lunatic and why he ever had a following is beyond me.
Do you really need to ask that question?
Not really.
Their bosses and neighbors.
My thought exactly! If you know it's a horrible thing to do, at least leave your cowardness at home with the mask. Show your, punk ass, face!
Because they know they are terrorists who are on the wrong side of not only history, but everything. Bunch of blood thirsty sociopaths and narcissistic brats.
I was just about to say the same thing. They are all full of shit. TDS...

One can always hope. I think I remember reading that there’s a large sinkhole at the Villages. Maybe that will take care of the right wingers there?
One can only hope!
I work with the Missouri Stream Team doing much the same sorts of things, but I would give anything to move to Canada. If I were given the state of Florida, I would happily sell it and buy a province!
Go Hurricane!
Ahahaahha you ain't right.
🤓🤓🤓
Where is the outrage from 'news' organizations?
There is on MSNBC. This quote always rings true: “Not all republicans are nazis, but all nazis seem to be republicans.”
I couldn't imagine a Dem being a Nazi...counter intuitive...
Indeed, even if there are racist liberals, and they could be, the overall party message is one of inclusion.
Exactly! Better yet, where is the press with any and all of this kind of shit?
I'm not a violent person but I have no problem with designating one day as a national holiday to be 'Punch A Nazi In The Face' day. You could pick the day. Or it could be multiple days. Or every day. Choices people, choices.
Great idea. Especially the option of picking the day. A good word for this day is BACKPFEIFENGESICHT, or "face that cries out for fist." It is, ironically, a German compound word.
There are some German saying or words that defy a translation but that one came out just fine.
All I seem to remember is: der,die & das, go figure!
And with each indictment, arrest and arraignment, SCHADENFREUDE.
Everyday.
👍👍👍❤️

Exactly, Free speech has limits. Germany has good frame work regarding this.
I meant to say cities, not citizens. I apologize for not proofreading before posting.
I have the option to edit... I'm not sure if that's because I'm a subscriber or not? Yep. I just did an edit on my Mac. Doesn't work on my iPhone...
Editing only works until someone else likes, shares, or replies to the post. No editing after interaction.
Thanks. Good to know.
Thank you!
Love your handle!
Thank you, Janon!
OK. Thanks for clearing that up for us... :-)
No apology necessary! I’ll try on my Mac. Thanks!
I think you'll find out that what Endless Names (great handle) posted is probably true. You can only edit until it gets read, opened, or commented on.
Ah! Got it.
I’m a paid subscriber too. Maybe the option doesn’t show up on my iPhone ? I’ll try it on my Mac next time but mostly use my iPhone. Are you using your computer or phone?
Click (or tap) on those 3 dots at the end of your post; you'll get options to edit or delete the post.
Def doesn’t work on the iPhone, I’ve tried.
Works on my Mac, but I haven't tried it on the iPhone. Sorry.
Both. My Mac & my iPhone. Huh? I wonder why?
I just looked at my comment I just made and I cannot edit that on my iPhone either. I’ll have to try my Mac next.
Thanks, JaBier. I was feeling stupid there for a hot minute.
Fifty lashes with a wet noodle for you buddy. Proofreading trips us all up once in a while. 🤬
Like today's GOP, they're anti everything. When the tangerine turd said there are good people on both sides, that pretty much said it all. Nothing like having both Russian and Nazi support.
That is too funny, for so many reasons.
Thank you and agreed--as stated as soon as you are nice to one you obtain a gaggle and a gaggle won't do!
First they came for Budweiser. And I did nothing. And then they came for Mickey Mouse. And I did nothing. And then they came for Barbie.
Two thumbs up.
Hahahs

DeSanitarium is doing for FL what the spray-tanned shitgibbon did for the rest of the US - giving them a place where they feel emboldened.
Get out of there! I know easier said than done, but shit, is it worth it?
Every day is precious. so why let the evil assholes be a dark cloud of oppression over you and
own your moods. Hell, if you can't even go to a fucking school board meeting, what can you do there that's safe?
Geez, so sorry that is so fucked up. How does the average participant deal with that?
I have friends and family who live in America’s Dangly Bit. I love them dearly, but they know I won’t be visiting them anytime soon. Oh, and my niece’s home insurance has been going up up up. I honestly don’t know why anyone would want to live there. If you want to see the Mouse, go to Disneyland in Anaheim.
Anaheim Disney had a big Pride celebration not too long ago. Won’t find that at Disney World, though I give World props for fucking with DeSantis.
My husband and I attend Disney Pride with my niece and her wife and his best friend and his husband every September. It’s fabulous!
Homeowners insurance is going up when you renew your policy next. No matter where you live. I have Travelers and it went up a couple hundred (March 2023) explaining the weather activities being what is costing them to pay for claims in hurricane states.
I did Nazi any of this coming, oh wait, yes I did. I hope that storyteller tipped that bartender well.
As a Floridian, this is appalling. Rhonda Santis is the most disgusting governor, and God forbid this guy ever gets near the White-house. I’d like to know where Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is? She’s JEWISH!
Florida is appalling at this point
Shilling for corporate campaign cash, I suppose.

And doesn't history sadly confirm this, that being a fascist helps you in a fascist society. Look at all the Republican wankers who asked for pardons.
BTW, appreciation for your father's service & sacrifice. Yours and Charlie's.
Thank you; I appreciate that. It’s insane that people can watch trump care only about himself for years and still think he will take care of them. Ask his co-defendants how that’s working for them 😂.

"simpering shitstain on the crusty underwear of life" you sound like Jeff! And I say that with admiration....
I think of Jeff as me from the future.

Gerrymandering is running this state as well - its hard to fight against the amount of it in FL.
Nazis are bad
Hey that was easy, helpful, factual, historically accurate, and very much common sense
All of which is incompatible with being a republican
