    I get there's a desire to push back against liberals right now - but Conservativism as an idea isn't being done any favors by being associated with this man.

        Should be sitting on a gold throne. I mean throne, like we have 3 of in our house. Not like a king throne, but a throne with functional utility.

        Orange Man Bad, well, there you go. . .

          That was almost the best post on this forum today.

          Almost...

                                It's offensive and ignorant as fuck to call them "nazi runes." It's taken a lot of work on the part of scando cultures to re-educate the world about their own history. Norse runes aren't racist, you shitheads, sorry, and no they aren't "Nazi runes." They're far, far older than the Third Reich assholes who used them for their terrible propaganda.

                                    maybe the appropriate response is to point out that it's a reasonable stage layout whose association with historical symbols is purely coincidental.

                                          It's anecdotes like this that make me believe that left wing nuttery is way more prevalent than right wing nuttery. I hear about right wing nuttery from twitter reports by jon, little elsewhere. I live with, and hear personal accounts of, left wing nuttery.

                                          Education is extremely important.
