There are extremists of every color. Most serve no cause but their own need to be seen,

And so much cheaper (the rubber). Unfortunately the use of one requires forethought and a modicum of self control. Qualities sadly lacking in today's society.

The only racism left in America is the false racism fomented by the left and used to weaponize every unwinnable argument and distract from every legitimate discussion. Keep enjoying your koolaid.

Let us see.
Protest the unconstitutional lock down and destroying the 1st and 2nd Amendments vs. Disrespecting the American flag and those who died defending it and America (Think of the iconic image of the Marines on Iwo Jima and their sacrifices and all others it represents) and also calling police officers pigs and disrespecting them.
Sounds like a typical uneducated lib with no clue except to mindlessly regurgitate the DNC and fake news lies and hatred.

The meme is what is racist.

First of all, I agree these clowns are an embarrassment--not to just conservatives but to all Americans.

I am not so sure about the trump supporter part. Maybe some Trump supporters or even most trump supports...but you cannot deny the fact that there were plenty of pro Trump signs at these rallies. Also, there is the awkward fact that Trump has not only not denounced this lunacy, but seems to encourage it--especially with his "liberate" tweets.

As of today we have wiped out 2 million MORE jobs than the total that have been created since the recession of 2008 in just under three months.

I imagine that if it were a carload of MS-13 gang-bangers doing a drive by shooting at the White House they would be embraced as being underprivileged looking for a better way of life in America as a refuge from the violence in their home country and welcomed in one of the sanctuary cities.

Americans simply needs to be more tolerant of those oppressed and should kiss their asses when they bend over for they are deserving of the fruits of our labors and our hard earned money and retirement funds.

Satire to nth degree

Do you think he is doing all his own tweets? I don’t. I think there is some deliberation behind some of them designed to push buttons.

Ira Hamilton Hayes (January 12, 1923 – January 24, 1955) was a Pima Native American and a United States Marine who was one of the six flag raisers immortalized in the iconic photograph of the flag raising on Iwo Jima during World War II.[5][6] Hayes was an enrolled member of the Gila River Pima Indian Reservation located in the Pinal and Maricopa counties in Arizona. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve on August 26, 1942, and, after recruit training, volunteered to become a Paramarine. He fought in the Bougainville and Iwo Jima campaigns in the Pacific War.

On February 23, 1945, Hayes helped raise the second and largest of the two American flags raised on top of Mount Suribachi that day, an event photographed by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press. The first flag was raised after the mountain was captured, but was not photographed during the raising of it. Another flag was requested and sent up to the top of the volcano in order to be better seen on the other side of the mountain where thousands of Marines were fighting. The second flag raising became historic, taking precedence over the first flag raising after the photograph of it appeared in the newspapers. Hayes and the other five flag-raisers became national heroes as a result. In 1946, he was instrumental in revealing the correct identity of one of Marines he raised the flag with, who was killed in action a few days after that. Hayes did not feel worthy of his fame and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. After his service in the Marine Corps, he descended into alcoholism. He died of exposure to cold and alcohol poisoning after a night of heavy drinking on January 23–24, 1955. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on February 2, 1955.

Hayes was commemorated in art and film, before and after his death. In 1949, he portrayed himself raising the flag in the motion picture movie, Sands of Iwo Jima, starring John Wayne. He was the subject of an article by journalist William Bradford Huie, which was adapted for the feature film The Outsider (1961), starring Tony Curtis as Hayes. The movie inspired songwriter Peter La Farge to write "The Ballad of Ira Hayes," which became popular nationwide in 1964 after being recorded by Johnny Cash. In 2006, Hayes was portrayed by Adam Beach in the World War II movie Flags of Our Fathers, directed by Clint Eastwood.

On November 10, 1954, Hayes attended the dedication of the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, which was modeled after the photograph of six Marines raising the second flag on Iwo Jima.

Oh yea, the US has shown so much respect to the marines at Iwo Jima.

What lunacy? Expressing a different view from big brother in light now that all this virus stuff really is a hoax as reporting of those who were infected is under reported by a factor of 80 times those reported.
