    Oh, that picture has bad resolution, but I'm pretty sure that paper says "We the People" on it. Does anyone have a better shot?
    Why is Golden Trump Statue wearing flip flops?

    What do you mean? I think it’s wonderful the GOP is finding a way to recycle all those old plastic sculptures now that Fry’s is going bust, even if the gold’s a little garish.

    Let's not forget Trump's base is, at its heart, a bunch of rednecks.

    Flip flops and American flag shorts are pretty standard attire.

    That looks more like the attire of douchebag fratboys... than rednecks. Don't get me wrong, they also love the Trumpster image, as you can see in their Klan marches.

    Thus endeth conservatism in the United States. It hath been replaced by fascism.

    Me neither but apropos of nothing, here's a picture of a gold plated statue of Trump that's gonna be adorning CPAC this year.
    This sure isn't the way to refute people who say the current GOP is a cult.

    I grew up in redneck country, most wore jeans, or when relaxing, I saw more cargo shorts than swim trunks. Of course, there was always the dreaded cutoff jeans shorts... on men. The thing I never really saw, were flip flops. Maybe that's a southern thing.

    I'd rather not... I despise Wal-Mart, and most of Texas.

    This is false information. You either said something intentionally untrue (you are lying), or you posted on something despite knowing far too little about it. Trump has been under audit for a decade, and Trump claims even longer. (This doesn't stop him from releasing his taxes of course) Everyone here in these forums, which should have included you, knows this.

    Please post constructively, and stop calling me Shirley.

    I'm guessing that's Trump's head glued to a statue of Mickey Mouse or something, covered with clothes and paint to cover the hack job.

    I mean, it could be? But it seems like a lot of effort for a single CPAC statue of Trump in...uh...clothes he would not be caught dead in. If more copies start showing up, that changes things.

    Well, they have their golden idol to worship.

    You know, if I were a devout religious person(or religious at all), I would be very afraid right now. This might be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

    If anything were to happen, say a tornado wipe out, I'd be just a tad worried...and a bit frightened. *looks above uncertain*

    Well, Ted Cruz is speaking so all that hot air coming out of him will keep any storm front away.

    We can go around the pivot; from was the vote totals correct, to was it fair, to what it means to concede and whine for years after, to whine and inspire violence. The troubling thing about real slippery slopes is it’s a slope. And certain *passionate* individuals will always claim all context is whaboutism and all history deflects from the point (you’ll perhaps note no defense offered in the posts responding to my response to you, just pivots)

    Literally, if all responses ignore context and just jab at some point they think is the big idea, I wonder why they try. Seriously. Respond to the allegations, don’t just dismiss and go on with what you wanted to say. Pretend that the phone call with Georgia was just a 12 second clip on its own. Ignore the plain law on employees of the IRS releasing an individuals tax return. Ignore, perhaps intentionally, my distinction on criminal tax complaints from merely “Trump pays a little more on previous tax returns” result of tax inquiry. He skates on 99% of what we know now, and everybody’s betting there’s some more hidden stuff that will come out and be criminal. That’s the plain truth.
    This is not a difference of opinion, this you pretending things that aren't true are true.

    Russia successfully interfered with the 2016 election. Fact.
    The 2020 election was 100% legit. Fact.

    Just because you're pushing actual, provable lies doesn't mean your side is valid and equal to the other side.

    If you wanted to say Trump was great president, that's an opinion and it is equal to someone saying he wasn't;t.

    But you are taking literal fact and placing on the same relevance scale as lies.
