You know what's really deranged? Conservatives who defend privileged racist white boys from an all white school wearing MAGA hats, who already feel entitled of telling what a woman can do with her body while at the same time yelling at passing women that if they "enjoy being raped that it's not a rape".
And it's all part of Conservative America being sick. Profoundly, deeply, sick.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

You got a number of things wrong. First it's not an all white school and these kids are from Kentucky. If you've been to Kentucky you wouldn't just make an assumption that they are privileged. Why do you think so anyway? Then you imply that wearing a MAGA hat makes you a privileged racist. I thought you didn't believe in God, but you claim to have the insight of God to see into peoples hearts and minds. I thought atheists were about facts, not conjecture and opinion. Although I would assume that the group yelling at the kids are racist based on their words and actions. Also, by the way, if the kids were saying what you said they were then they're assholes.

Wearing a maga hat does not make you a privileged racist but it does closely align you with racists.

Have you seen the WHOLE video. The maga hat wearers are not as innocent as they have tried to make out.
They are indeed assholes.[/quote]

I guess that racism against whites isn't really racism. I've been searching for one news item, tweet or post condemning the group who harassed the kids with some terrible stuff, but can't seem to find it. Everybody is zeroing on the white kids who weren't nearly as bad. And then there's the American Indian who said the kids surrounded him when he actually approached them. Where's the uproar about them? I guess they're all nice people because they weren't wearing MAGA hats.

That's a fairly useful heuristic, yeah. If I see a maga hat, I know I'm dealing with an asshole of one stripe or another. The maga hats put in the work, no sense in crying about it now...fuckin snowflakes, lol.

Wearing a MAGA hat nothing else is required to determine someone's an asshole , And being in a "pro life" march also says it all , And your comment on god is just dumb .

The MAGA hat has now replaced the Klu Klux Klan outfit as the most reliable identifier of an awful person in the US.

Imagining that things must be true just because we imagine them is a lot of fun. But the truth is that a lot of teenagers are wearing MAGA hats just because it is a trend. Vox did an article about this. You can read it here:
https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/22/...ndmann-hat
I am a liberal who is outraged that the Covington kids are receiving death threats, and people have actually threatened to do terrorist attacks on the whole school. The kid just wore a hat that you don't like and smiled in an awkward situation, dumbasses!
I'm a liberal. I supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. After he dropped out, I supported Hillary Clinton. I have never voted Republican in my life, and I am certainly not going to start now. But I have decided that I am going to start wearing a MAGA hat (one of the cheap walmart ones, not an official Trump campaign hat), simply to support liberal values.
Illiberal elements on the left are completely out of control.
