Good for the furries and Mabus. McGee doesn't even have the legal authority to do what he is threatening anyway.
I don't claim to understand furries
but most of the time I hear about them, it's for their decency. I read an article a little while back about them fighting to expel Nazis from their community. I wish more groups were better at this.

You wish more groups were better at expelling Nazis from communities? Just how many Nazi's do you think are still alive?
I know several developers who say Gene is the least corrupt of central MS politicians (a very, very, very, very, very low bar). Of course Queen Mary is in her own stratosphere.
How many Nazis still alive? Depends on how you define Nazi. If it means those who wish to control thought or treat some races as inherently evil and deserving of punishment based on race etc., I’d say they they are ubiquitous.
I have heard the opposite from several sources, that he is the one in the stratosphere, and that Mary's attempted run at State Auditor was specifically aimed at bringing him down.
Yes, it's hard not to admire her on some level, but the way she took it upon herself to single-handedly veto an initiative that had just passed overwhelmingly over a flimsy and unavoidable technicality was a bridge to far for me. Just a betrayal of the principles of democracy.
You have to keep in mind, some people see Nazi's around every corner. Those people should be avoided.
Furries, put simply, are superheroes without any special powers; but, make no mistake, their raw wholesomeness and concern for basic human rights is exceptional. As a group, they are a distracting force, and difficult to dissuade with any normal conjecture. I enjoyed my dabbling in that specter during the college days at dear old State, as we all did, but the insurmountable dry cleaning bills made me bow out long ago.
It was a joke. Just tossing a match into a room with an overturned gas can because it made me smile.
Way more Nazi flags flying at various rallies than there should be.
Hell, even in the current trucker rally cluster17 in Canada, you'll find the Nazi/Confederate/Trump flag trio that's all-too-common in the states.

In a perfect world her objection would have spurred the Leg to fix the root cause so that it didn’t happen again. To my knowledge that did not happen.
Agree. Anyone paying attention to history will recognize that Hitlers rise to power was a narcissist authoritarian person stoking a populist movement to make Germany great again after the WW1 decimation that was doubled down on by harsh treaty terms. I’m honestly not worried about Trump specifically, as he’s old and has too much baggage. Plus I’m hoping he will be in prison before he can have a chance at another run(optimistic I know). However, the movement that he started and younger potential heirs to the fight against truth, democracy, free speech, etc. could be very problematic. Our republic is under attack from the Trumpist Republicans and it’s sad. Disclaimer: This post was not in jest. -signed 50+ year Republican voter
Isn't this one of those situations where you just take some bad because you have a lot of good?
Yep, any non-Democrat will eventually be labeled all the typical things like racist, sexist, misogynistic, etc.). It could be Jesus Christ himself, and he'd be labeled as evil by ones who spend most of their time in the media and social media world. He could be absolutely the most left-leaning baby kisser on every issue but if he says "pro-police", boom, done, evil.
Trump was a Democrat all his life, and as soon as wins the Republican nomination (and appeared to have a shot to win it all) in 2016, boom, evil orangutan. As long as people act like this, I mean what point is there in caring?
People are just dumb and at the mercy of the herd. They just have to find a bad guy somewhere, no ability to look within.

Sounds like a bunch of plants to discredit the rally to me. Just like what happens here in the US. No one ever seems to go up to those people and find out who they are. That seems pretty odd to me seeing how even kids protesting get doxed for just protesting for freedom à la Nick Sandman.
But I guess planting such things is way too crazy to think that a government that would be bold enough to take away freedoms would do such a thing as try and discredit a freedom movement.***

- the bold claim is absurd. just absurd. it may be true in certain discussions within twitterverse, but not in actual real life.
- trump sucked in the 80s, trump sucked in the 90s, trump sucked in the 00s, and trump sucked in the 10s. he was an absolute ******* in all those decades. he was a pt barnum style promoter in all those decades. his claimed political affiliation never mattered- he was an ******* regardless. when he was reorganizing under bankruptcies?...*******. when he was grabbing women and running beauty pageants?...*******. when he was a 'reality' host of a scripted show?...*******. when he took the lead and continued the Obama birther claim well after it was proven false?...*******.
he wasnt a democrat or a republican all those years, he was simply an opportunistic showman.
It cuts both ways though. Many Republican congressmen have compared mask mandates to the Holocaust. You can say what you will about masks, but I think we can all agree that they're not comparable to the Holocaust, and people who enact them are not equivalent to Nazis.
Labeling and canceling is a problem all over the political spectrum, and we all need to stop.
