Yeah, here's a bunch of fake-ass bullshit. No way to verify what these images are actually from. The lack of MAGA hats in the bottom image is suggestive, though.

There is also more then two of them. So very unlikely to be Trumpistas...

Hypocrite. I have seen fake bullshit from you libtards claiming Mitt Romney's merch was made in the People's Republic and that he faked being Mexican with photoshop makeup you libtards passed off as a real photograph when Romney's parents WERE from the United Mexican States.

The lack of CONFEDERATE flags in the bottom pic is a dead giveaway that it's not Trump supporters.

The bottom photo is from 2011. In the top photo, not a single American flag is shown in that specific image, but it hardly shows the entire protest.

"If the captioner had looked a little harder, however, they might have found several images from that same San Diego protest in which those protesting Trump’s appearance were captured waving American flags:"

It's so surprising that an anti-Semitic white nationalist would need to lie to make his point.

I have a very morbid curiosity, so for each person who brazenly parrots easily-falsified things like this, I always wonder where on the spectrum between deliberately deceptive and willfully ignorant they fall (those that make them are obviously the former).

I have been way too engaged with Tigron over the past few days. I think that he would qualify as "willfully ignorant" but he would be on board with deliberate deception if useful for achieving his goals. With being deliberately deceived, even.

I was beginning to wonder what you'd pull from your ass to justify your post, or if you'd even try. I'm impressed. Plenty of Trump supporters wave American flags. Plenty of Trump opponents wave American flags and are very patriotic people. We're back to a wash. We all get very well what you're trying to say, as well as your indiscretion in how you try to make the point.

It's a meme. The point of it is to illustrate the globalist VS nationalist theme within each group.

What you don't seem to get is that the images don't "illustrate" anything if it turns out that the images are taken out of context and really just express your own ideological commitments. It's like blowing your nose onto a canvas and saying that it "illustrates" your views on Jewish involvement in the 66 million who died under Stalinist Russia.

To my knowledge, there haven't really been any Trump supporters protesting in the streets. I suppose it's because they have jobs.

Yeah, that's why we never saw any anti-Obama protests, back in the day. The tea-partiers were just too busy working.

The grand point being that multiculturalism is undermining American values and people are cheering it on without any consideration of the consequences.

If you want to make this point, you can cite something that actually demonstrates this, instead of picking random images that sort of jive with your views.

And, you know - I'm not sure what non-American flags are supposed to mean, either. You say it represents "multiculturalism," but - how? How does waving an American flag around commit you to white nationalism? You're really just projecting a narrative onto these images; you can't accuse us of being "arrogant" just because we're not psychic.

The problem with semi-educated folk is that they assume that everyone has roughly the same sort of intellect and experience.

Whisky or gin is my personal answer. Young Tigger would no doubt find that amusing.

As the Donald would say, "sad"; which is how I feel. That, and drunk, of course. I reckon alcoholism is a reasonable way out for folk like me. Ardbeg and/or Martin Miller manage to numb it all, if only for a short while.

If you're ever in Blighty let me know. I'll buy you a drink, should that be your poison. ('Taint how I'd prefer things, but there you go.)

I love a couple fingers of inexpensive bourbon splashed into Diet Coke to celebrate a good week or give a sardonic toast to a bad one or just for the sake of doing so. I'm not picky.

Well the people who protested the Nazis didn't carry Nazi flags either.
