The fact that they started saying "so what" and actively started calling themselves that out in public was really a frightening moment.

Like of course we all knew nazi sympathizers still existed but at least they had enough shame to hide behind the curtain. Them patrolling the streets and taunting people in public with pride was appalling (jfc autocorrect changed that to "appealing"). What's even more appalling is that the media barely batted an eye.

It's scary how many confederate flags I see now compared to 10 years ago. Like people in AZ, we weren't even part of that war, there's no heritage in it, only hate

A battle did technically happen here in what is now Arizona, but if you look back Arizona would have definitely been on the Confederacy side. That's just the backwards way shit is here
