It should be apparent now that the right doesn't think things through

When you treat black athletes kneeling as "disrespectful" to America, but do or say nothing about confederate flags and even Nazi flags being waved alongside the US flag...

When you are torching the environment...

When you say "NO! All Lives Matter!" but shrug and run away when refugees need help...

When you treat Muslims and immigrants as some sort of super-danger, but do nothing when white non-Muslim men are slaughtering innocent people in churches, movie theaters, and schools...

When the same Evangelicals who supported the disastrous Iraq War "because End Times" are now celebrating this government regime...

When you are enabling sexists and racists who should have nothing to do with authority and should instead be isolated far away from everyone else for everyone's safety...

When you demand respect but vote for the most disrespectful President in American history...

Did you think people weren't going to notice? Did you think people weren't going to notice the inconsistencies? Did you think people were just going to throw their hands up and stop caring? Did you think people were going to be OK with the disparity and double standards? Did you think we should just embrace "civility" after you have rejected it for so long?

They cheat, buy the refs, move the goalpost, but expect their opponents to follow the rules. What would you expect if your team did this?
