No doubt; few people are safe everywhere, but there are some pretty significant differences on how that has historically worked.

I’d also imagine that coming from Germany in the 50’s, that your family may have run into some lingering attitudes towards their background from the war that had ended just 10 years before, even if they were more refugee than economic emigrants.
Are you suggesting he will run into Nazis and recognize them?
Who are you talking about? And is this person part of the Republican legislator group that was chatting up Nazi memes and talking points? Or maybe the one side who has that cool Nazi USA flag hanging in his offfice?

There’s plenty to dunk on Trump for. He’s generally a miserable, vindictive, immature grifter with fraud convictions and who has cheated on three wives and screwed over plenty of hard-working people who’ve committed to services for him yet were bilked out of payment in the end. And that’s a very kind and incomplete list.
None of which - even if completely true - has anything to do with me or the general health of the U.S. economy. If you want to throw personal crap at U.S. presidents' personal lives, that can certainly be entertaining, but Trump's personal crap is for me personally irrelevant and mostly boring.
But I will always give the person at the helm of the Nation some benefit of the doubt if they appear to be trying to make things better economically for the citizens. I don’t see that happening yet with Trump and his policies. Aside from an advancing stock market, most anything else that Joe and Jane Six Pack have to pay for have only become more expensive.
This is a fair position to take.

Markk and I have chatted about Trump’s tariff policies. I’d like to believe that they could work, but I’m just not seeing it. At the moment, a great example is given with the collapse of the US soybean export market to China, and now a need to start shoveling billions of tax dollars into the hands of farmers to keep them from going into bankruptcy … because tariffs. We killed our own.

And gas prices, energy prices, grocery prices, housing prices, healthcare prices, … things aren’t exactly doing better than when Sleepy Joe the Master Global Crime Boss Antichrist DEI Overlord was running things. Or his minions. Whomever it was, that time was likely better economically for average folks.
It generally takes 18 months for money supply corrections, and other factors, to wind their way through the economy. Trump-o-nomics is in the beginning stage. Time will well. As for DEI, I am a squarely against it, for personal reasons, economic and national security reasons.

Only idiots, "victims", and grifters harp on the past. I am not responsible for them. Nor is my wallet.

Bill, did any of your people know a Democrat in the 1950’s? If so you may be superhumanly able to recognize racisstss today. Could matter a lot.

Just listen to leaked Signal group chats, or peek over people’s shoulders at their bulletin board. So much easier.

Should we burn it and risk a being arrested? This new Republican flag may trigger even greater penalties if set afire. Seems that Republicans are holding it in higher esteem than the ‘normal’ flag.

Nope. The Signal chats are real, Trump has stated that folks burning the flag should be arrested, this pic came from a Republican staffer’s office, and his modified USA Nazi flag is larger than and placed higher than the actual flag.

You need to get out more often. Your knowledge of current events and basic flag protocol is abysmal. : )
