Northern Virginia is two sets of people.  Those who drive Teslas or have "Dont Tread on Me" license plates and those who flip them off. 

I probably should know this, considering I have family in the Arlington area (though I haven't seen them for years). 

Flipping off is kind of normal here, in a Ralph/Sam kind of way.

Just know the white hot fury of the Northern Virginia area toward Musk and Trump is to the point where people who are being put at extreme risk by these evil fools are starting to break bad.

Not surprised. While I don't condone it, I do understand the fury. 

I've been scared that we're heading towards a French Revolution type of situation for a while now.

Jan6 people were pardoned.  The rules no longer apply.

Why is that a problem?  Are MAGAs not allowed to talk baseball with us?

MAGAs should be shunned and shamed for the human suffering they created and perpetuate.

It's a problem that I have him on ignore, and I'm probably not alone. The ignorant mocking of federal employees a couple weeks ago was the coup de gras.

Not to mention all the people who will die in Ukraine and elsewhere because we sold out our allies.  All the kids who will die from measles.  All the people who will lose their livelihoods after a blameless careers devoted to science or public service.

God damn them.

When does the rest of the US become guilty by association for continuing to allow it? If he crossed the line and invaded a country would they try to stop him or act like Russians?

If you do the necessary and let your voice and vote be heard…you can fix it and not be blamed.

I’m not going to get into cross thread pollination issues.  My opinion is what goes on here in this sub forum stays here. Don’t let it bleed into the sports areas.

Also the stereotyping of federal employees... There's a lot of them who aren't in Washington and who do jobs that make our lives more fulfilling. The story I highlighted a few weeks ago about the educators at the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie who this administration whacked is a good example.

I really hate the callousness of it. It's like people feel extra license to be terrible on a human level right now.

That is a legitimate reason to be upset at the individual, but I am not on board with shunning every MAGA in the baseball forum.  This site is primarily male sports fans from the midwest.  It is likely loaded with MAGA.

My guess is it's already happening.

I really don't care if Holic posts on the Tigers board or not, but the cheering on of federal employees firings, equivocation on past stances on the Russia-Ukraine based on Trump's views, change in views on inflation based on Trump being POTUS, punching down on trans people, it all speaks for itself.

You can't see whatever he posts for a GDT because he's on ignore.

My problem was with Romad suggesting we shouldn't have any MAGA posting on the Tigers board.
