    Nice try, he's definitely a Trump supporter. Inasmuch as Trump was th Republican candiate, well, there you go.
    He was a Trump supporter because Trump was the Republican candidate? That makes no sense. Let's start a new thread where we make sense.

    Of course it makes no sense, because that's not what I said.

    He's a REPUBLICAN because Trump was the REPUBLICAN candidate. Capiche?

    There is a quite famous photo of an insurrectionist in the one, and several photos exist of right-wing protestors at anti-statue-removal protests waving them. Clearly your news failing you.
    Let me see a photo of him voting Republican.

    Keep in mind that the entire purpose of the January 6 insurrection was to disrupt Congress' counting of the electoral votes, which Trump was destined
    to lose. Why would Democrats or Biden supporters participate in this?

    Also, if the Confederate flag screamed "Democrat" as much as you say it does, wouldn't that kind of defeat the "undercover" part of "undercover Democrat?" Why did no one notice this at the insurrection? Either all of those insurrectionists are completely stupid, or you're wrong. Which is it?

    To make it look like they're not Biden supporters.

    Why would Biden supporters make themselves look like non-Biden supporters to participate in an insurrection intended to disrupt the counting of electoral votes that Biden was all but certain to win?

    If carrying a Confederate flag makes one look like one is not a Biden supporter, then it must make one look like a Trump supporter, no?

    Your conspiracy theory lacks internal consistency. You're saying that only Democrats carry Confederate flags, except for the Democrats who make it look like they're not Democrats by carrying Confederate flags.

    Yea they went to great lengths to make Trump look bad. But they barely lifted
    a finger compared to what house Dems did.

    You're clinging to this even though it makes absolutely no sense at all *and* lacks internal consistency, and yet you say only liberals won't admit when they're wrong? Amazing. But keep going; it's very entertaining.

    Hello Aaron,

    Your conspiracy theory lacks internal consistency. You're saying that
    only Democrats carry Confederate flags, except for the Democrats who
    make it look like they're not Democrats by carrying Confederate flags.

    George Wallace loved to carry Confederate flags. Well, usually
    he made speeches in front of them rather than carry them. Anyway,
    he probably would have beaten Nixon in 1972 had it not been for
    some crazy man who shot him when he was on the campaign trail.
    That left George McGovern to carry the flag for the Democrats.
    We all know what happened next.

    Unite The Right has nothing to do with me or most Republican voters. They are a flamboyant group of idiots who are no better than the idiots on the other side of the street. People need to put the signs down & get a job.
