I bet those people voted Trump in 2016,

It's like saying you drove through Vermont and saw thanks Biden signs -- means absolutely nothing in the greater scheme of things.

Who they voted for isn't the point. The public profanity is the point.

I have heard F^ck Biden out of both democrats and republican's mouths these past few weeks. My hatred for Biden is right up there with my hatred for the Taliban so I really have no issues saying it.

As much as I don’t like Biden and have zero respect for him, I don’t condone flags or signs like this for anyone. One reason I believe is people are angry and don’t feel heard and profanity isn’t taboo anymore.

My mom would have slapped me into the next state too!

It was 'normalized' by anti-American leftists who spewed a non stop stream of very public vitriol at President Trump from 2016-2020. You and yours opened the box. Now you want to close it?

The second the photographer snapped a picture of some D list comedian holding a fake severed head of the 45th president.

J/K. It was 1/20/2017. 217 arrested during 'mostly peaceful protests' in DC where windows were smashed and vehicles set on fire.

Did you not read my post where I said I don't use those words in public?

Do you think anti-Trump rhetoric invented profanity? Or was the first to use it publicly?

Once again: Who voted for who isn't the point. Trump vs. Biden isn't the point. The point is: When did we as a society become so publicly profane? Why is it now OK to shout obscenities during a college football game? The OP and a few others on this thread think it's hilarious that college students are chanting profanity at a football game. Why do they think this is acceptable behavior?

This is true.

There were plenty of "f..." Trump signs, flags, t-shirts, etc. and the left loved them. They would ridicule those who didn't like it and would even call them a "Karen" if someone complained about a sign because there were children that could see it.

When I was growing up my parents used to say that you can dislike the POTUS all you like but that we should ALWAYS respect the office.

Those days are long gone. Everyone has a opinion and they want the world to hear it.
Since 2 years ago


Well, when we have a middle-aged political figure like Rashida said this about Trump, then it’s reasonable for college age young adults to do the same thing
