Probably a republican did it to play victim. Most liberals are educated enough to properly orientate a swastika.

Occam's razor

>Occam's razor, Ockham's razor, or Ocham's razor (Latin: novacula Occami), also known as the principle of parsimony or the law of parsimony (Latin: lex parsimoniae), is the problem-solving principle that "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity". It is generally understood in the sense that with competing theories or explanations, the simpler one, for example a model with fewer parameters, is to be preferred. The idea is frequently attributed to English Franciscan friar William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), a scholastic philosopher and theologian, although he never used these exact words.

The GOP has devolved into solely a reactionary institution (not that they ever didn't have reactionary tendencies). They possess no other function within American politics. They must be ignored and silently voted out of power, not provoked.

If they aren't the victim of some mass conspiracy theory, their political leaders lose their platform.

Could be an inside job. Why would someone go after his signs when he has very little to no chance to win? Sounds like a last ditch effort to take a chance to draw maybe some attention? But there are plenty of crazy people out there willing to break the law regardless of political views, so anything is possible.

But yeah people.. don't break the law.. don't go after political signs.. be the America you want to live in and don't stoop to the lows used by others.

Can confirm.

I have a neighbor who totally hates Trump, but I noticed he was selling all sorts of Trump/MAGA gear at a local market (for reference, I live in an area that 80 percent voted for Trump).

I ask what is the deal, and he says he's "made an absolute killing selling this shit to dumbasses".

Some of the stuff he sold is downright hilarious.

Flags that show Trumps head on Rambos body. Or Trump with a machine gun riding a velociraptor.

Lots of MAGA hats of course, but also Let's Go Brandon stuff, things saying Kamala slept with people, odd crap about Epstein, Hunter, Pelosi, AOC, etc.

My favorite was a shirt with the meme pic of Bernie and his mittens that said "this is what socialism gets you". Da fuq?

I asked how he could support that shit and he said "I know, but like they say, I'm laughing all the way to the bank."

I don’t like when people go around defacing stuff like this. They don’t remember that we live in the USA and have the right to vote for who we want. I don’t like Oz or Mastriano but I’m not going to destroy private property just because of that. You vote for who you want because you have the ability to and I will fight for that right.

There was a black guy that would set up his flags and sell them along 30 in Chambersburg. He had all kinds of trump signs, like the weird Rambo ones, confederate flags and worse ones. His answer to “why would you sell this crap” was basically the same, if they’re going to pay all that money to someone it might as well be me!

Although them serving on "special interest comittees" are the reason why this state hasnt moved forward with cannabis legalization and home grow.

Although my personal view is that cannabis is the poster child for "special interest" legislation, PA GQP legislators have long been worthless with their refusal to allow bipartisan legislation leave committee. I'd like to say MastriaNO is the most useless legislator in Hbg, but he has lots of competition there.

Someone put razor blades on a Fetterman sign, and the left said that it was probably planted by a Republican.

Now swastikas are painted on an Oz sign, and once again, the left is saying that it was probably a Republican.

At what point do Democrats take responsibility for their own actions?

I'm old enough to remember just a couple of months ago when a 41 year old far-left violent radical Democrat ran over an innocent 18 year old for his political affiliation.

You have every right to believe a conspiracy, especially when avoiding the inevitable cognitive dissonance that would come with admitting that violence is also commited by the left.

Clearly there is violence on both sides, but accepting that reality requires reason and nuance, both of which you clearly lack with the statements you made previously.

I always took that as the police being an institution of the Federal Government, which they are not. Looking into the message they want to put out there, then yes, it says exactly what they want. A police state that enforces wealth distribution. Wealth distribution of minorities to white people.

If the Thin Blu Line flags were state flags, then whatever, but they show the American Flag. And they are not flying that flag for the FBI, or DEA, or DHS. It is State Police they are trying to say are as valuable and institutional as the states and original colonies in our culture. Police in the modern form were not part of the founding of the country. It started in the Jim Crow era and then grew exponentially after the Great Depression. It's old, but not foundational. And looking further into the history of the Modern Structure of the police it gets even worse. I would recommend anyone reading this far to listen on the series on Police from Behind the Bastards. After that the Thin Blue Flags look even worse.

I had an encounter with a Republican supporter. I told them they were a Holocaust Denier. They told me "woohoo!!"

I can't believe this is where we are with our political parties. One side will do or say anything just to be "the other side". Including, apparently, denying historical atrocities. Even of a group they usually use as a political crutch. It's no different than what happened with Russia though. There's old sitcom jokes - from the 2010s no less - where the right wing character makes jokes about hating Russia. And now it doesn't make sense because the Republican party is no longer about hating Russia but siding with it.

Replying to UnaffiliatedOpinion (#463,218)

Yeah, I saw that too and still decided to stick with the word choice and phrasing. It's true two ways. You know, how Republicans like to speak. They say things that mean moderation to the independents but when heard by the right wing it means something totally different.

Like the "We support our police" signs. I always thought the "our" was superfluous. But when you realize what they are saying with that sign to an audience with whom the police are not friendly and the message becomes clear. We support our (people with property) police (people who will kill you other people if you step out of line).

OR

We support our police when they kill you other people.

Sure not everyone with that sign is like that. Some will think it will help them if they police ever show up. Still not that great of a situation if you think about it. Or they do like their cops because they love watching law and order. But a lot of them that have made the effort to go out and display this? They aren't doing it mindlessly.
