The point is supporting a president has never been controversial


Well, that's bullshite. It hasn't been as covered as it is in 2019, but this isn't new.

Psycho-Pass

The story takes place in an authoritarian future dystopia, where omnipresent public sensors continuously scan the mental states of every passing citizen.

It is pretty violent. Those are the shows I like.

Cowboy Bebop
quote:

The twenty-six episodes ("sessions") of the series are set in the year 2071, and follow the lives of a bounty hunter crew traveling in their spaceship called the Bebop. Although it covers a wide range of genres throughout its run, Cowboy Bebop draws most heavily from science fiction, western and noir films


They are also short runs, which makes them easy to watch.

I don’t like shows that continue forever.

Ok, I'd agree with that.

I still say that doesn't mean we should act like those people.

As long as they were not forced to do it by the school or any teachers or coaches and the cheerleaders did this of their own free will, what is the problem here?


The faculty would have forced them to hold up an Obama sign

It wasn’t controversial to support Obama.

It was more controversial to oppose him, in all honesty.

People can’t wear Trump gear for fear of the reaction they will receive nowadays.

Not to mention how people are attacked for simply supporting him.

Sure it was. It was simply a relatively silent minority who had anything to say about it.

I'm not attempting to act like anyone, but what is happening across so many spectrums is concerning. There is a definite push for a singular believe system and it's punitive if you publicly believe another way. We were warned about this in literature for the longest time, and it's now happening, and there is no denying it.

So what's the goal here? Do you think the government needs to step in and tell these districts and organizations what policies they can set and how to enforce them? Or are you just wanting to call it out?

Oh please you have no evidence to back your claim so all you want to do is play the victim. The school had a rule and they broke it. The only way your point is valid if the same school ignored some kids doing holding a Bernie sign. So now you come off looking like a child shouting it's not fair

I wouldn't say it was controversial, more like just mocked by some on the right.

I don't recall any acts of violence on his supporters.

The school didn’t suspend the cheer team. They initiated no action against them. It was the state athletic association.

No probably not, but it's not like his opponents were completely civil, either.

We're really looking at varying degrees of poor behavior toward the elected leader of our country.

It's a school district supporting body that receives Federal money in some fashion, so yes, if you're asking if I think the students should be able to support their president, yes I do, and they should be told they have to let them.

But it was because they were in uniform, of a said school.

I don't give one frick about being civil, speak your mind how you'd like. But initiating violence against someone because they support the president? That's borderline treason and should be treated very harshly, as for any political violence. And people should not have to deal with intimidation about who they support either.
