Matt Novak: When you're worried there might be a pride flag at semiquincentennial parade

When you're worried there might be a pride flag at semiquincentennial parade

The phrase "not serious people" is overused, but there's no other way to characterize these arguments. They're just not serious people

I personally would be more concerned with the impression a former reality television star presiding over our 250th celebration would leave

I’m worried about the convicted felon!

I discuss the term “woke” with my college students every semester, and they almost universally agree (even the conservative ones!) that anyone who uses that word is not serious or worth listening to.

Holy shit, THIS IS REAL?!? This guy is worried about how woke our 250th anniversary would be rather than if we’ll still even be a democracy? Christ.

Oh Erickson is a seasoned dumbfucktake machine.

I’ve seen some bad ones, but I thought there was no way he’s that fucked up mentally. Guess I was wrong!

Nether are their voters

fucking succession took that from us goddamnit!

i wish erickson would just give up the charade and start using the slurs he has in mind

This was something of a masks-off moment.

That one never even made sense on its face, given the fact that so many Asian countries were on our side during WWII. And then there was this:

Erick Erickson’s own mom denies the family boycotted Asian food on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.newrepublic.com Erickson, a conservative talk radio host, was taking a shot at political correctness, or whatever, when he tweeted last week, “Growing up, I remember my parents never letting us have Asian food on Dec...

The "we have no idea what our child is talking about" statement remains weirdly hilarious to me. Like, I know there are things I could say that my parents would feel the need to publicly disavow and I've been on the internet for over three decades and they've never had cause to do that.

Master of Divinity in drawing fouls.

Goes back further than that....remember when he called Justice Souter a "goat fucking child molester"? (www.macon.com/news/article...) And somehow he keeps getting pundit gigs...

you'd think chinese food would be okay at least?! erick, son of erick, has always been a stupid individual.

He's probably crafted whole new ones at this point

He’s soft. Afraid of getting his ass beat.

I can't imagine he'd lose his radio show over it. Might even pick up more in syndication.

this is almost so absurd that I can't believe it's real. "We have to empower a mad authoritarian king because other people living their own lives gives me the heebie jeebies" is a level of cowardliness that I didn't think possible

Martha-Ann got radicalized by seeing Pride flags

THE MOST COMPELLING REASON! If that's the most compelling reason why does your party even exist? Egad

I guess I'm with Erickson to the extent that if I were trying to come up with reasons to vote for Trump, all the other reasons would be even worse than that

The flakiest snowflakes to ever snowflake

We’re finally gonna let dril fuck the flag

To Erick Erickson, the entirety of U.S. participation in World War 2 was "woke nonsense."

Antifa!

I confess a similar concern, though: 2026 will bring both the 250th anniversary of our founding, and the 25th anniversary of September 11. And the thought of T presiding at either of those events turns my stomach.

It is after all time to get back to celebrating Jesus signing the Declaration of Independence

If Trump wins, no matter what the nation may be called in 2026, it will not be the United States of America in any meaningful way.

I guess I'd need more context I'm not interested in gathering, but this reads to me as a dismissive gesture. Like "the best thing I can hope for out of a Trump Presidency is that public events won't be gay."

lol, that’s exactly what that is

It's nice to see a lack of enthusiasm, but it isn't as if Erick has his finger on the pulse of the electorate.

Erick, son of Erick, is notoriously as daft as a brush

Have you seen a Trump rally?

Oversee the 250th while enjoying the powers of a king given him by a court who believe in the divine right of Republicans to rule as monarchs. Murdering irony while murdering our core principles.

“I know! Let’s do fascism instead because that annoying flag”

To honor 250 years of America, all statues of Confederate generals will be replaced with Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben

Went to find this tweet just to see what the comments were like, and JFC all this guy does is tweet. Does he have a job?

This is going to be a real glass houses situation if I agree with you that he tweets to much

When you consider the horrible things a lot of people in this country are doing on the regular, a little hypocrisy is negligible. We'd hardly even notice it!

No more woke stuff oh wait www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

DNA appears to show this Revolutionary War general was a woman or intersexwww.nbcnews.com Researchers noticed the Polish officer's delicate bone structure after the skeleton was extracted from the Pulaski monument in Savannah, Georgia.

Worth noting guys like this were always going to find a reason. But my 401k. But the pride flag. But the woke. But the socialism. But the high school trans basketball player. But the…

is this thing ever going to lose relevance

Will there be an America to celebrate in two years if Trump is elected?

*the most compelling reason* tell that to the voters

If THAT is your most compelling reason to vote in November, you don't deserve a civil society...

So much better to have the 250th anniversary led by someone with more legal immunity than George III. 🤦‍♀️
