    Hmmm I wonder which “antisemitic guesture” the college-aged Republican club was caught performing?

    Wild how that keeps happening!

      This is the same party that loves to try to pin the KKK on today’s Democratic Party. That loves to gaslight about how they aren’t really full of racists and xenophobes.

      And yet.

        That’s what you thought? It’s a Republican college club in Florida, it ain’t Columbia University, those shit heels were doing Hitler salutes, no doubt.

          They probably were, but I doubt that’s what got them in trouble. Musk did it live on stage in front of millions and it didn’t even slow him down.

            I think it did really impact people’s perception of him and his brands, but even outside of that, he’s rich. It’s easier to get away with absolutely anything if you’re wealthy.

          Oh I thought it was antisemitic behavior that the University of Florida disapproves of.

          I thought heil hitlers were mandatory there.

            I graduated from UF in 2000. I was not a nazi, much less even close to being a conservative, and nor were any of the people I associated with during my time there, but I guess enjoy your stereotypes of what everyone in Florida is like.

              I graduated from UF in 2004. Thing about Gainesville is that there is the college side, and then there is the rest of Gainesville, which is still stuck in the 1940’s.

                Yeah, no doubt. Gainesville would be like all the other little nothing north Florida towns if not for the university.

                I do, but mostly because most of my family is here. I live in a very red area and I can’t stand most of the people around me, but running away from it isn’t going to help change it.

                  There’s a lot of good about it and just like Texas it’s more of a purple state than a red one.

                  I didn’t mean to lump absolutely everyone together with my stereotypes but Ron DeSantis is not helping with that either.

                    Fuck that guy. I am hoping he burns, but so many people absolutely think he’s great around here. Fucking idiots.
