White privilege.

Totally 👍 there’s no way this confrontation ends well if that was a black man zero chance!

Jo doesn't know what that means apparently?  MTG isn't being disrespectful.  She believes that America is in distress.  I didn't like when PJ did it and I sure as hell don't like her doing it either.

Huh? Rapinoe meant what?

Jo's comment was that if Rapinoe kneels it is disrespectful but it MTG posts an upside down flag it's ok.

My comment was that Rapinoe also believes America is in distress and knelt to show that.

Ahhh makes sense.  I didn't see the connection.  I knew Rapinoe dropped a flag and didn't see how that fit. 

Rapinoe and MGT are two perfect examples of how far on one side of the spectrum of politics you can be. It's very interesting how different sides of the aisle can use the same form of concern for the future.  There is plenty of middle ground that needs some getting into.

The difference being that Rapinoe is a gay woman and her rights are being threatened every single day by Republican neocon’s! I’m not sure what rights are being threatened for MTG

It's a viewpoint that they both have, both are far leaning to the other.  

I know Rapinoe is a big defender of Trans rights which seems to be the enemy for the far right.

Yep pretty much but there’s no way I’d put Rapinoe in the same class as MTG in the subhuman category

Rapinoe also didn't drop a flag.

but that's wrong right? Rapinoe is standing up for a minority and MTG is pushing an alt right agenda

I'm not bringing up wrong and right, that's not the point of my statement.  You have people that believe they are right and fight for them like Rapinoe and MGT and have a following of them.  

I don't follow them both enough to know what they are truly for but enough to know that they are on the further sides of the political landscape and one believes in Gazpacho police and the other LBGT's rights.

I recall the incident where Allie Long dropped the flag while doing a choreographed routine w/ Rapinoe, (& one of her teammates quickly scooped it up) but I don't think it was anything other than absent mindedness.. It sure as shit didn't LOOK like any sort of deliberate statement or action. 

If Rapinoe dropped the flag, it's news to me. 

In googling the incident, there were were also questions "Did Rapinoe stomp on the American flag?" so I'm thinking people took that Allie Long incident and tried to make it appear way worse than it actually was. (unless I'm missing a whole other incident... I'm open to being corrected here)

Based on what I've read and heard, I'm inclined to think Rapinoe's been built up as another RW boogey man (boogey woman / boogey person?) by Fox News because lets face it... hating women like Rapinoe resonates w/ Fox's audience.

You and I are in 100% agreement on this.  What they did was a rather standard soccer trophy celebration.  Dipshits with an agenda turned that into "She hates America!" and that pretty much brings us up to today.  

The Juggler

I really don't like people comparing Marge Greene with someone on the other side of the political spectrum and simply saying something like "well one is far right and the other is far left." No. One is a racist, wackjob bigot. The other believes in rights for people MGT discriminates against. It's not the same thing.

That’s what I was trying to convey! You said better thanks
