There have been many examples since the election, but here are just a couple. There are other examples out there, so feel free to add them.

Some sanity is returning to the bathroom/sports debate.


It is ok to love this country again.

Trump winning, especially with the mandate of a popular vote win, felt like a weight coming off my shoulders. It's hard to overstate how dark and oppressive it felt under the past four years of Biden/Harris. It's nice to see sane, rational thought and love of country back in vogue.

What a pass by McKennie (Little Elm, TX's own) to Captain America!

Pulisic was asked about the dance afterwards and he didn't really back down. Just said, yeah it's the Trump dance, he thought it was a fun dance to do and he saw some NFL players doing it so figured he would too. Said it wasn't a political statement or anything just that he liked the dance and hoped others did too.

Always love seeing people celebrate, regardless of the reason or if I approve. Good for this person.

As for the policy, how did it survive when Trump was in office? Did he try doing anything to help with things like this, or was it not a big enough thing to get on his radar?

WTF are you talking about? Your side did everything it could to undermine his presidency, including stirring social/ racial angst with all the BLM nonsense.

The far left is an enemy to everything this country has stood for. I want that movement crushed.

No boys in bathrooms for girls.
No boys on teams for girls.
No girls getting in trouble for filing a complaint about it.
No men in women's locker rooms.
Nobody getting their gym membership revoked for complaining about a man in the women's locker room.
Nobody getting in trouble for stopping someone from using the wrong restroom or locker room.
Nobody fired for refusing to use a made up pronoun.


I want common sense to win and nonsense to lose.


Then we can heal.

I honestly think the assassination attempt was the turning point that finally got a lot of people to say "F it...I'm no longer going to be intimidated into remaining silent". I know I became more vocal after that point...with zero F's about "rocking the boat" on social media.

Bruh, I was hardcore anti-Trump and refused to vote for him in 2016. But seeing how constantly hamstrung he was during his first term got me on board quick. We have never seen anything like it in this country. He was spied on from the get go, then hoax after hoax after hoax in an effort to undermine him and sabotage his presidency. He got a lot done, but would have been able to get much more done had he not been undermined and under assault from every angle, constantly.

Be careful about using logic and reason. Before you know it, you might lead others to think critically.

It's all correcting itself already!

Libs refusing to buy anything for the next 4 weeks. Thus increasing supply and lowering inflation. Not to mention, reducing carbon footprint.

Libs vowing abstinence and birth control. Hence lower abortions.

Libs buying guns, thus supporting 2nd amendment.

Libs leaving the country, thus freeing up housing.

Libs vowing to quit government jobs if nominee xx is confirmed, thus helping bloat in government agencies.

What else am I forgetting?

Remaining silent?

most of the people I know are loud AF on the right side.

I mean, GD, look in Ohio the other day.



And all of the texts being sent out about people going back to the fields. The loudest mf's are the people that claim to be told to shut up, when that wasn't even the case Jan. 6th on a "peaceful" entrance of the capitol...

That's such a tiny, tiny portion of the "right".

The screaming intolerant leftists make up a MUCH bigger percentage. Scan any social media site and tell me how many Nazi sympathizers (true Nazi sympathizers and not just what the left calls anyone they disagree with), and the number will be minuscule compared to the amount of posts from "average" leftists.

I was anti trump too, but I did vote for him. I supported Cruz in the primary that year. I still don't like Trump. But I vote for policy, not personality.

I voted all conservative and wrote in an Aggie Veteran buddy of mine for POTUS in 2016. I was completely wrong about Trump...thought he was in it for all of the wrong reasons.

The Dems/Libs are already promising more of this. Lots more. I hope it backfires on them.

Most people have a real problem with their leaders fighting tooth & nail to keep illegals that are criminals, drug dealers, rapist and murders in this country. Most people just do not like crime.

Most people have a real problem with their leaders not actually doing anything that should be higher priority...

Healthcare, education, housing, jobs.

Houston metroplex is a great example: How's that air quality? Who is enforcing the industry to actually upgrade their facilities so they can stop polluting the area with burnoffs, runoffs, and other bad things leading to certain areas to stink to high heaven, dangerous for schools to be around? Helping provide for the area schools to ensure they are getting a non-religious forced education? maybe a place to be safe from home?

Housing in the area is too damn expensive, health care is barely adequate if you can get into see the doctor that isn't an urgent care, in a timely manner. Stupid mythology being forced down my kids throats as if I believe in that stuff...my daughter will have worse healthcare access now. Yeah, I'm worried about the illegals. they are the top priority for sure. I guess the majority of the criminals in Texas are illegals filling up the jail cells. Taking up all of the homes, and mid manager level jobs...

Priorities. They are straight!

And to be fair, That is just me guessing, who knows. But I do think it has gotten way more ratcheted up/out-of-control in the last 4-6 years. I don't think it was as much on his radar, nor mine either, back in 2016-2018. Not like the last few years at least.

I'm with you, 100%.

When an old school liberal like me, sees what's happening and thinks it's going too far, too fast, you know it's bad.

Cultures change naturally, even if they need a good nudge now and then, but trying to ram down something for the sole benefit of a fraction of a fraction of the population, that's wrong on every level.

Then where are the people to stand up to them and tell them such?

Where are these brave souls? Who stand up for what is the American flag?

You say they are trash, but where is the line they crossed that they are now trash? Is it just the flying of the flag publicly that makes them trash?

What do they stand for you disagree with?

Quote:

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on Wednesday that transgender women are not permitted to use bathrooms in the Capitol that match their gender identity, taking a stance on the hot-button issue that has overtaken the Capitol in recent days.

The policy which Johnson announced in a public statement, a draft of which was first reported by The Hill will also apply to bathrooms in House office buildings, changing rooms and locker rooms. It is unclear when he plans to publish the comments.

That's not what I was saying.

However, I'll answer that question.

Yes, the left went marching in the streets. And they did this while they were doing it.

The NFL not only backed a racist, divisive and hate - filled BLM movement for years with the kneeling and statements on the field and back of helmets; and we had to just sit back and take it. For any leftist getting upset about someone having fun doing the Trump dance, they can go eff themselves and find a safe space away from the rest of us.
