Guy is like, "I can't believe I have to protest the damn Nazis again."

I should make this a shirt.

 

[UberTag]

These nazis need to be ejected from every city, by force if necessary.

That's a difficult proposition when the police will always show up to protect their first amendment rights.
Got to give the Nazis their safe space.

 

[texasairhead101]

I'm with the counter protest rn. Shit is tense.

your safety is important. be safe duder.

 

[Atenhaus]

Stay safe buddy. Punch if necessary.

Stay safe..shit looks wild out there.

 

[Atenhaus]

Currently being flanked by SPD vehicles, including an MRAP. This is getting insane.

 

[IaN_GAF]

This seems unwise.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Gotta love it when police go out of their way to protect Nazis.

 

[riotous]

The rest of the state (in my experience) seethes with hated of Seattle.

Parts of the penninsuala are full of retired liberals.

But yeah, you don't have to go far outside Seattl to see pro-Trump signage and whatnot. I saw a billbaord basically about SJW's and PC culture on my way to PDX earlier this year.

And then in the Seattle metro area, you have places like Lynwood / Federal Way / etc. that aren't remotely liberal.

Seattle itself is perhaps the most liberal place in the country though.

The pro trump rally is down the street with live music and talking about free speech. What did that group in Seattle say or do to be called Nazi?

Yep. They know where they stand. And it's fucked.

There's that crazy Christian billboard outside Battle Ground IIRC. tbh Fed Way and most of South King is incredibly diverse - much moreso than Seattle proper. It's more liberal than you may think.

Might be a good idea to leave now.

Stay safe.

Come on now

There's no difference between a Pro Trump rally and a Nazi rally.

 

[Atenhaus]

Stay safe.

I broke off from the main protest and am down by Pike Place rn. We'll see how this plays out.

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

It's still a high majority white, and those white people are far more conservative than the Seattle population. I know there's still plenty of liberals, but it doesn't compare to Seattle. Diversity doesn't equate to liberal really either.

 

[moggio]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

Truth hurts.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

No it isn't.

 

[Laevateinn]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

I'd love to live in your ignorant bubble.

 

[Effect]

So the pro trumpers are being allowed to have their hate rally and the police are keeping the counter-protesters away? Not at all surprised.

 

[rjinaz]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

One is White Supremacy, the other is White Supremacy.

Shrug.

Though sure Nazis are worse.

 

[mlclmtckr]

Yeah how dare you compare a bunch of white nationalist failson genetic dead-ender fascist LARPers to a bunch of oh wait

Lets not pretend that these Trump rallies aren't the new face of nazis/kkk. They are the same.

 

[NobleXenon]

Come on now

Come on what? Police protect their own. FUCKING LOOK AT THIS AND TELL ME COME ON.

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

Donald Trump refuses to condemn nazi terrorism. Why? Because he's a nazi.

When people in your movement start waving Nazi flags and chanting Nazi slogans, you have two options:

1. Forcibly evict them, completely disavow them, and thoroughly apologize for the fact they were ever able to even peripherally associate themselves with your group.

2. Accept that you're now going to be identified as a Nazi organization.

Not difficult. Not unfair. Not changing.

 

[Hubbl3]

Here's a stream of I'm assuming "ground zero" where people are talking. Seems like they're alternating having Protestors (Trump Supporters) and Counter-Protestors talking:

Edit: So far I've heard a lot of "Please stop calling us Nazis"

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

i thought seattle was cool though

Y'all realize there are more Trump voters in LA County than there are in WV, right?

 

[Jenov]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

Well, it may not be that far off. Considering Trump is avoiding directly denouncing the white nationalism that's uprising in his name, wearing his hats, his logos, his dress shirts. It's extremely concerning, and the fact that he's trying to tiptoe around it with "both sides" rhetoric when one side has confederate and nazi flags is shameful.

 

[VeeP]

To Stinkles and every other Gaffer out there, stay safe. Show them this shit isn't tolerated.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

No it isn't. Trump refuses to call out Nazis because he knows their ideology helped him become President. The line in the sand has been drawn.

 

[riotous]

Numbers... how do they work?

Seattle is'nt LA County either; 3 times the percentage of LA residents voted Trump than Seattle.

I ask again what this group in Seattle has done or said that you are now calling them Nazi.

Death to Jews is an insane thing to say. What he said? Maybe a little silly..😏

 

[Voidguts]

broooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH HOLY FUCK

 

[TumblingHippo]

All I see on the "Freedom" side is a bunch of #alllivesmatter bullshit and "tolerate our intolerance".

My wife's dad lives in Longview, it's always a treat to see what lunatic message is up on the Uncle Sam billboard when we visit.

 

[rjinaz]

I ask again what this group in Seattle has done or said that you are now calling them Nazi.

I said they were White Supremacists. And I stand by that. What did they do? They voted for Trump and they continue to support him despite all the shit he keeps doing including not condemning Nazis.

 

[kmax]

Dude, stop. That is insane thing to say.

Trump's free to say otherwise anytime.

I drive by that sign frequently, and fucking hate it.

 

[Slime]

They're standing up for a white supremacist president with a white supremacist administration and a white supremacist agenda.

Enough with the wilful ignorance. This doesn't require in depth explanation. If you're going to bat for this president, you are a supporter of white supremacy.
