That one in particular is more of a strawman; nobody ever told them they couldn't say "Merry Christmas"; they just started making up the idea because some people referred to other holidays, and now they think saying "Christmas" is an act of rebellion.
They have a bottomless well of BS to pull things from, whereas you can only know/remember so much, even if you are a genius, that's their advantage, that's why "debating" is so difficult. We should really leave it to the lizard people to deal with them.
"They have a bottomless well of BS to pull things from, whereas you can only know/remember so much"
You probably just summarized the upcoming debates. Last time it was simply "What about Hunter".
Well, the Alamo was fought to preserve slavery in Texas. Santa Ana was marching to enforce the abolition of slavery.
That detail isn't taught in schools. "The Alamo" was a successful degenerate-to-hero story of the Confederacy. And completely detaching it from the rest of the Confederacy was how the myth-making succeeded.
So it tracks. Just not the way HE thinks.
Not only were the âTexansâ fighting to preserve slavery, and ironically enough, to keep an open border with Mexico so goods could travel back and forth easily. They were also mostly âsettlersâ i.e. illegal immigrants on Mexican land trying to take it for themselves and start their own thing on it. When the Mexicans came to give them what for most of them fled back to the US and the ones that holed up in the Alamo begged for U.S. military reinforcement but the U.S. government had a pact with Mexico and was like âehhh sorry we arenât starting a war with Mexico for you guysâ.

this is why Republicans are destroying public schools, libraries and books - they donât want you to know American or world history, math, science, civics because it will make people think or question and then making changes to make things fairer and better for everyone and that cant happen in republican policies.
there cant have equality, knowledge and freedom because they want to maintain power.
The less you know, its easier to be controlled, the more Republicans like it.
Well damn. 51 years on this earth and I had never heard this before. I always remember the history of The Alamo being taught as the US protecting its new territory from Mexico who was trying to reclaim it as theirs. Nothing about slavery was ever mentioned.
These asshats don't know shit about anything. They just spew poop everywhere and see what sticks.

I don't know if this is the same man but it looks a LOT like the one I've seen sitting outside of a Plano Planned Parenthood years ago. I'd see him on the service road with all of his abortion is murder signs. After a while I noticed he sleeps in his truck and keeps it parked right next door to the planned parenthood.
Which likely means he's sucking on the government teat for benefits. But tell him Trump wants to end Medicare/Medicaid and/or increase the SS retirement age, and he'll tell you they might, but they won't for "True Patriots" like him.
Guys like him: ["I'm on Medicare and Social Security. Anyone help me out? No."](https://youtu.be/yTwpBLzxe4U?si=idKW_Dp0cCZsBtfp)
Everyone else: "You know that conservative candidate you support publicly stated he was going to cut Medicare and Social Security, right?"
Guys like him: "Fake news!"
*Conservative candidate wins and cuts Medicare and SS*
Guys like him: "How could the Democrats do this to me?!?"
Don't you see, Republicans cut off benefits to undeserving welfare queens, while the Democrats cut off benefits to hard-working Real Americans like him.
I'll let you guess how you can tell if people are deserving or not.
You and I both know there's no listening to reason with that kind of person but yes, actively campaigning for a person that actively works to make your life harder is a common trend with the right. All logic goes right out the window.

I feel like I keep close to several different news sources and cannot for the life of me tell you who these two people are, or why they'd be associated with Trump.
I believe Esmeralda Upton was a lady charged with hate crimes in Texas after she verbally and then physically assaulted an Indian woman.
I canât find anyone named Curryab Chandra on Google. Iâm not familiar with anyone named Curryab anywhere actually.
My best guess at interpreting racist is that the lead counsel for the women that were assaulted was Subodh Chandra, and the lady called the women âcurry-ass bitches.â

>Esmeralda Upton was a lady charged with hate crimes in Texas after she verbally and then physically assaulted an Indian woman.
That's exactly what these people want to be able to do with zero consequences. They think they should have the right to yell slurs, threaten, and attack groups of people who they don't like.
Ironically I drove past this small gathering and saw some Indian Americans there too. Itâs an odd coalition of racists, uneducated, wealthy minorities, and billionaires. They all share one thing in common. They want to break the current system at any cost and have no idea that the consequences will outweigh their benefits.
The latter is supposedly a Mexican American who did a hate crime on Naturalized American who are of south asian origin. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna157776.

The base is such a weird duo   Â
- Wealthy 1% that only care about paying less and having less regulation at any cost  Â
- Self disenfranchising poorly educated who donât realize theyâre fighting against themselves Â

- the rich point to the poor supporters to say âsee, itâs not that Iâm selfish even the have-nots get it!â Â

Even though neitherâs reasons have any overlapÂ
And really living comfortably in the US requires more than that in every state in the union. The trick has worked so well that theyâve even got people whoâs time and labor is undervalued and underpaid complaining that those who are even more undervalued and underpaid are the reason they are being undervalued and underpaid.
>Wealthy 1% that only care about paying less and having less regulation at any cost Â
The wealthy 1% that actively want to crash the economy and destroy the middle class and democracy, so that they can buy up everything for pennies on the dollar to become the 0.1% with the rest of the 99.9% as their indentured servants.
El Alamo was in Tejas, Mexican territory back then.
Americans were allowed to settled in, but when Mexico abolished slavery they revolted against Mexico, they obviously refused to give up their slaves.
That's the fundamental origin of the Texans revolt, keep owning slaves, and fought to the death to prove it.
I remember that.
Motivated by a desire for revenge, as well as their written desire to preserve a border open to immigration and the importation and practice of slavery, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836
So in modern terms. The Mexicans were Ukraine fighting to hold their land and Texas were the Soviets Annexing land. All to keep exporting trade routes open and maintain slavery labor for the State.
The Texas State History Museum has an exhibit dedicated to the Texas Revolution. It has rooms with several walls depicting the brave heroes of the revolution and their struggle.
Oh, and one short sentence at the bottom of the last wall saying by the way the revolution mainly happened because slavery was outlawed in Mexico and their central government was becoming powerful enough to be able to be able to enforce it.
Eh, more like Mexico invited the Americans to come to Texas/Mexico to fill up the land that they couldn't get their own citizens to move to, made them pinky swear to not practice slavery and to convert to Catholicism and then realized too late that Americans gonna American and tried to put the genie back in the bottle too late.
Texans. They weren't part of the United States yet. And the only reason they weren't Mexicans is because they declared independence from Mexico. Thus leading to the Alamo.
Texas fought for independence from Mexico largely because Mexico had outlawed slavery. Â
Then shortly after joining the US, Texas seceded with the confederacy, in order to keep slavery.Â
 The reason Oklahoma has that weird panhandle is that the US had already outlawed slavery north of that line of latitude, so Texas gave it up. If they couldnât keep slaves there, they didnât want that land. Â
 Juneteenth is a celebration of the date that (several months after the civil war ended) a brigade of 2000 troops landed in Galveston to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the state of Texas. Â
 Also, every prison built on Texas land up til the 1980s was built on the site of a former slave plantation. In effect, slavery in Texas [never fully ended.](https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2024-06-14/plantations-to-prison-farms-how-far-have-we-come/)
Would you believe Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836, joined the United States in 1845, and seceded from the US in 1861 to join the Confederacy? They left two different nations over their "right" to keep slaves within 25 years.
Mexico said to American settlers at the Alamo that they couldn't have slaves anymore, and those at the Alamo fought the Mexican military. So when you remember the Alamo, remember that they were fighting to keep slave labor.
I live in Texas. I canât imagine anyone living in Texas not believing in global warming. Itâs hot as fuck and gets hotter every damn year. Maybe they donât think itâs man made, or they donât think there is anything we can do about it, but to not believe it at all? Iâd bet $5 this dweeb thought Colorado was too liberal and moved down here a year ago and thinks this is just how itâs always been.
Late to the party but this guy is a real piece of work. I used to pass him everyday sitting out front of a womenâs clinic protesting abortion and yelling at drivers, playing his guitar. The best part was the womenâs clinic didnât even provide abortions. He is not a friendly individual at all.
from a somewhat civilized country it just looks so absurd that the USA has those insane freaks sitting around, as if they were waiting for the next ride to the mental ward.
so absurd and so sad.

That one in particular is more of a strawman; nobody ever told them they couldn't say "Merry Christmas"; they just started making up the idea because some people referred to other holidays, and now they think saying "Christmas" is an act of rebellion.
Absolutely hilarious!

Mexico said to American settlers at the Alamo that they couldn't have slaves anymore, and those at the Alamo fought the Mexican military. So when you remember the Alamo, remember that they were fighting to keep slave labor.

Last poll had Cruz up by double digits WTF Texas? Help us help you
False picture, I don't see a single AR-15 in sight don't lie to me boy
There was a guy to his far right covering him đ
Both literally and metaphorically.
Remember the Alamo! When we fought to the death against Mexicoâs oppressive anti-slavery laws.
He's voting in November, are you?
This is a great get-out-the-vote meme.
I blame Rush Limbaugh. May he rot in hell.
Trump supporters may be stupid but they sure are stupid.
*so what do you do for a living?*. *oh my husband and I are crazy, and you?*
I bet his truckâs nuts are huge.
Global warming doesn't care if he believes or not. It's not cooling off, is it?
Heâs a hoarder of filthy, bad-take homemade signs.
A reminder of the gravity of the importance in helping your children develop the ability to honestly and critically self-reflect!
Frisco, Texas is under an excessive heat warning right now. But, yes, global warming is a lie.
Who is Jbi?
I was hoping Reddit could provide me that answer
I think jbl is meant to be J6!
Not JBL the wrestler?
You mean makers of stereos, cassette tapes and headphones JBL?
Wtf the Alamo have to do with the year 2024. That shit happened before anyone's lifetime today.
I live in Texas. I canât imagine anyone living in Texas not believing in global warming. Itâs hot as fuck and gets hotter every damn year. Maybe they donât think itâs man made, or they donât think there is anything we can do about it, but to not believe it at all? Iâd bet $5 this dweeb thought Colorado was too liberal and moved down here a year ago and thinks this is just how itâs always been.
Find yourself someone that loves you like white boomers love putting their uninformed opinions that nobody asked for on signs.Â
Guy waving confederate flag: âthuh democrats was the KKK betcha dint no that.â
Good god, that talking point has to be the most braindead thing these parrots have ever learned to repeat.
Bro is sitting in one of the hottest places in the US talking bout climate change being a hoax. Dumb f***
How cute, a community gathering of tender snowflakes behind an orange spray tanned cause.
Late to the party but this guy is a real piece of work. I used to pass him everyday sitting out front of a womenâs clinic protesting abortion and yelling at drivers, playing his guitar. The best part was the womenâs clinic didnât even provide abortions. He is not a friendly individual at all.
Why did I assume there was a mobility scooter in the pictuređ
I bet this guy thinks black people should "get over it" when it comes to slavery and Jim Crow but we can't forget about the Alamo.
Freaks
Says the guy wearing a hat made in China
Why is it always the pretty ones?
Scooter under there??? I bet
Who is curryab Chandra?
The Alamo ? Watf does that have to do with anything ?
Talking about global warming in the tx heat is a special kind of ignorance
Remember the Alamo? You mean where General Santa Anna and his army destroyed the Texans?
from a somewhat civilized country it just looks so absurd that the USA has those insane freaks sitting around, as if they were waiting for the next ride to the mental ward. so absurd and so sad.
Another fine "Patriot" unable to stand for more than a few minutes. Exactly what GAWD intended! /s
That man looks like heâs about to die of global warming
That 'Merry Christmas' sign has seen some shit.
At this point it's like GOP went 'who is an overlooked demographic we can target'? And someone said 'the mentally ill' as a joke.
Remember to vote the fall, or folks like this will decide for you.
