…do I see a Japanese and Korean flag in there? Is there something about maga cultists I don’t know?
Not sure about Korea but Japan has a weird little MAGA cult going on. They have had little pseudo-rallies, although I dont remember the details clearly enough to say anything else on it.
I know there are enough low-info or ultra national voters in Japan to maintain a bit of a maga cult-- some people just liked him simply because he screamed about CHYNA a bunch and they don’t like China. It’s just weird to see it in the J6 setting. I wonder if it’s any crossover with the manosphere bullshit about how all Japanese women are totally submissive and thus the ideal spouses for the ultramen living in their parents’ basement.
There’s this weird overlap between the Moonies, The Epoch Times, and the American Far Right. I think the Shen Yun group is also involved. They’ll all hard core anti-CCP and went far, far too into Authoritarian Capitalism as a result. The Moonies were the cult that Shinzo Abe had connections to and his assassin’s mother gave all the family’s money to.
TiL that Shen Yun isn’t just an innocent performing arts show
Please elucidate. To me they are that weird Chinese outfit that comes through town every couple of years. I’ve never known anyone who has seen their act.
I’ve only seen billboards and tv advertisements and it seems kinda cool.
It’s some kind of state-sponsored propaganda, but I don’t know much more than that.
There was also the flag of the defunct Republic of VIetnam

The depth of anti-communist feeling in the Vietnamese community, which includes many military veterans and former government officials, meant that it has always leaned strongly Republican. While Asian Americans as a whole voted 2 to 1 for Joe Biden over Trump, Vietnamese Americans supported Trump over Biden, 57 percent to 41 percent. A deep animus toward China, amplified by misinformation in Vietnamese-language media, bolsters the support for a president they see as tougher on foreign policy. This dovetailed with their anticommunism.
Member how they told the National Guard not to show up, specifically?
I watched that whole thing from start to finish, disappointed that they never machine-gunned that entire crowd. The only thing smooth-brained dipshits like this understand is a solid steel-toed kick to the teeth

Almost guarantee they’ll use that because their base does not know the difference. Unless you embed your explanatory text in the picture, anyone cut and paste to portray whatever they want
with all the trump flags it’s pretty obvious it’s not in la
c/woooosh
Google en passant.

^Here, you dropped this. It’s called the point. You must have missed it while stating the obvious.
he is pretending to first assume this is LA, but no one would ever assume this is LA with those flags, so what exactly ís the point?
The point is that Republicans are allowed to have a literal insurrection with Trump supporting them, while Democrats protesting ICE’s human rights abuse triggers Trump enough to deploy the national guard on them.
OP is drawing a parallel between the two, not pretending that anyone will mistake that for LA.
ahh ok thank you, i wasn’t fully aware of the current events
