I mean they suck up to cops big time. That's authoritarian.
Only when cops kill black people. When cops kill a white woman as she is committing a felony they go ballistic.

Life feels like an SNL skit sometimes.
You should show him this post here. A bunch of houses with Biden/Harris signs in front of them, ALL flying the American flag.

Ha, how do you know it's mostly registered Democrats doing all of that stuff? How do you know that they wouldn't cuss at the names of most well known Democrats when brought up? I see nothing wrong in taking down controversial statues and paintings, especially after locals are allowed to vote to decide to do so.

I'm sure Republicans would gladly do their share of censorship on the Internet whenever possible, and I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. Just like I'm sure Republicans wouldn't allow anyone to erect posters in their front yards promoting Marxist or Socialist candidates.

They don’t even go together, Nazis weren’t communists. But LOL at you being ok with both negative labels just applying to Democrats.

The wealth created by these foresighted individuals can't be directly confiscated (although a couple of idiots like Elizabeth Warren are trying hard). it can only be recognized when the holder either passes from the scene (estate or inheritance taxes) or sells the stock at a gain. And any attempt to force a sale would diminish the value, thereby damaging the institutions (charitable philanthropies, colleges, hospitals and pension funds) which often hold much of that stock.

Learn a little more about the workings of a mature economy; and you might develop a little maturity of your own.
Yep, this little guy got Amazon and Apple stock himself

As an example Democrats are already using California gun laws as a template for federal gun laws, So seeing California democrats pushing social media bias in police hiring is very real

Nothing wrong with that as long as the government isn't directing it as it does in China. Republicans should likewise feel free to censor as much as they want on the part of the Internet space they control.

It's terribly funny you reply to a post about republicans wanting to kill as many wolves as they can, with a reply about gun laws. Nice way to deflect what I wrote.

I can play your game too, and proclaim that the new law in Idaho is just a template for what republicans want to do nationwide: exterminate all wildlife.
