no, really

‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.

They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.


This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

It’s not a betrayal. It’s people fed up with your bullshite and standing up for their religious values. Which never ever aligned with your chosen lifestyle.

It is not betrayal but part of the plan. The planners know and expect this type of reprisal from certain demographics.

Ultimately, the planners expect violence from which they again move on removing additional freedoms or liberties from the American populace.

Bank on those same leftists to blame religion, not Islam, for any violent offense.

Leftists are not going to call out Muslims, at least directly, but will point to religion as the culprit.

seriously that is a very interesting mix of people:

quote:

-For about a century, Polish and Ukrainian Catholics dominated politics in Hamtramck, a city of 28,000 surrounded by Detroit

-By 2013, largely Muslim Bangladeshi and Yemeni immigrants supplanted the white eastern Europeans, though the city remains home to significant populations of those groups

-as well as African Americans, whites and Bosnian and Albanian Americans

Best example of eating your own is the feminist that defends Muslims due to discrimination.

"betrayal" when you pit your religion (secular humanism) against theirs (Islam)

you will lose and they'll kill you to make sure

So, they are just dismayed and not physically protesting those people (and destroying whatever business they own) like they would if an all-Christian city council banned it?

I wonder why…

Liberals will somehow blame Christianity for this sense of betrayal.

Liberals get the proverbial slap upside the head when real life rejects their utopian, ivy-walled classroom theory.

What's this, the logical conclusion to liberals importing cultures that hate liberals?

100% correct. They are stunned and angry at a large part of this nation that refuses in the main to take the bait and resort to violence at all the sh!t they are throwing in our face. From defunding the police, inciting fake riots, putting freaks on display and pitching a constant attack on local law enforcement its all going to lead to a debate and push of a nationalized police force one day.
