Why do we play it at all?

Florida’s GOP senators are attempting to fix a problem that doesn’t exist (again) by requiring the national anthem to be played before professional sporting events.

In Florida, it's already played before all professional sporting events. But let's mandate it, and then we can come up with a cool hand salute everyone has to do...

Why doesn't DeathSantis just commission his own dictatorial song and mandate that it be played along with a Sieg Heil?

@anythingoes477 & @windinhishair It will probably be this one:

Raise the flag! The ranks tightly closed!
The SA marches with calm, steady step.
|: Comrades shot by the Red Front and reactionaries
March in spirit within our ranks. :|

The Horst Wessel song, coming soon to schools and sporting events in Florida and other red States!

@spjennifer For the last 5 years a subculture has existed in both the cult and the leaders of Trump's GOP to dismantle democracy and install Fascism instead as the government style in America. The most obvious example of course was when that came to a head on Jan 6th for the obvious conclusion of installing an authoritarian dictatorship. The next step to that would have been to destroy every part of the Constitution that contradicted dictator rule. There is no way a dictator would allow himself to be limited by a paper that he ripped up to take over America. The thing the truly stupid don't get is as they did their best to help that dictatorship take over..the first things a dictator takes away are the very things the rioters love. Gun ownership would be a threat to a dictator. Free speech would allow a radical proponent of democracy to maybe persuade some others to overthrow the dictator...so free speech......assembly would go away..FOR ALL. No one is allowed to diss the dictator...so freedom of the press is gone. Social media platforms shut down. Anyone of the cult who needs gov assistance of any kind to live.....loses that. Think I'm wrong??? How many of those things do you see in Russia? China? When you WANT a dictator........and you get a dictator........you get all that goes with it.....even and especially for yourselves.

@spjennifer That was not very kind. Trump's leadershit was amazing. I know I remember that...everyday.

@anythingoes477 No, it wasn't and I admit that, I've hated ole tRump for a lot longer than he's been a politician, he was always a misogynistic cretin who ripped off a lot of people 😊

@spjennifer I honestly thought it was a joke when he announced his candidacy. I also thought Schwarzenegger did a much better job on The Apprentice.

@LordShadowfire Ole DuhDonald is a grifter, not an actor so no surprise Arnold did a better job, I never watched the show as I can't stand tRump and never could. No I wasn't surprised he decided to run, what a bonus for a narcissist and an egotist to vie to become President, he's always wanted to but as he supported the Dems till 5 years ago, they never wanted him, lol 😄
