Do we have any Florida posters that can explain why people are outraged by this?

Or is this just academia trying to outdo each other?

Is this the jaws theme they do?


Jaws is fine because most shark attack victims are white for some reason. Maybe sharks just hate white people...but if they are black they can’t be racist, unless they don’t vote for joe Biden which would mean they aren’t black, and so they are racist, but it’s against white people so it’s ok...

Right? Leftist logic is new to me

The Boston Abe Lincoln statue and now this are two prime examples of how the slippery slope analogy applies perfectly to radical progressive intentions.

This one is in reference to all the gators that heavily populate the Rio Grande river and pull the weakest "illegals" under as they try to swim across to the USofA.

I have always thought that SEC football games were great examples of unity among wildly diverse people. You are screaming your head off and enjoying the game with thousands of your friends.

Why the frick are we trying to undermine that?
