          their freedom of speech. I’m sort of open to them making fools of themselves, especially since I can’t see this not going full racist mode. Sure, some MAGA will love it, but I don’t think it will help the overall purpose like they think it will.

            I had to laugh about everything in their description.

            Also, you always have to translate wingnut to normalspeak. When they talk about liberty of any kind, they are referring to the Southern type of liberty, not the Northern. Same goes for lots of words they use, they have their own version of what they mean - freedom of speech, patriotism, and so on. Just like the way the Nazis viewed things like “peace” - they meant the apparent peace that would result once all the “undesirables” were murdered by the Nazis and there was no more struggle against fascism. So their version of “peace” meant hell on Earth for virtually everyone, including their own people, because of all the resulting (probably endless) war that their “peace” would require…

      Is Gavin McInnes the one who shoved the dildo up himself on stream to prove how straight he was?
