Well, until you don't. You guys would shut down conservative speech faster than you can blink if you could. If you deny that you're just a simple liar

Anyone who takes any athlete/celebrity/musician’s political opinion seriously needs their head examined.

These are people that’re extremely, extremely poorly educated or not educated at all. They play with balls, sing, or race for a living. Movies stars pretend to be someone else and fake someone else’s life.

They have no concept of anything other than what they see on the news or Twitter. They don’t read, they don’t look at the facts. They base their thoughts on whatever propaganda they catch a brief glimpse of.

What a fricking dumbass. When in the history of the Olympics has wearing your country's flag meant you represented all aspects of "what was going on"?

If you were an Olympian during Obama’s term, you probably would’ve said something similar.

“I represent my country, not necessarily the current administration.”

That is true. It was pretty tame to me.
It's true...tame...and so utterly obvious that it comes off as hollow virtue signaling.

Didn't listen, did he list what he doesn't like? I don't like all of the fraud that's eating away at my tax dollars. I don't like many other things.

That being said, you don't bitch about your country on the worldwide stage. You put your best foot forward and enjoy the Olympic spotlight. Promote your sport and hope that increases your revenue stream.

He must have vibe coded it. There are tens of thousands of them still alive. Typical low-information voter.

The problem with conservatives these days is that they think they are America instead of a competing ideology


Your communist ideology is juxtaposed and incompatible with our form of government and has been a failure anywhere it is tried. And you wonder why conservatives oppose you?

One of the best parts about America is they’re allowed to bitch about what they don’t like with no consequences from the government.

The problem isn't the bitching. Nobody is disputing 1st Amendment rights (although unclear what Italy's laws actually are in this regard).

The problem is the CONSTANT pushing in one direction. Prompting/leading/softball questions by an agenda-driven media to get soundbytes supporting one single message.

Although impossible to imagine, what if a reporter said something like:

A lot of people disagree with ICE's tactics in enforcing existing US immigration law, but do you agree with the tactic of many citizens committing violent felonies in order to impede federal law enforcement actions? A good example would be Alex Pretti, who was seen clearly on camera committing multiple aggravated felonies.

They've worked their whole life to get to the big stage but can’t resist the urge to make it about Trump.

Trump is destroying them and they are too stupid to realize it.

They keep electing worse and worse absolute kooks.

The inability for conservatives to know the difference between a moderate, liberal, or communist is how Russia ended up communist.

The royalist Russians were stupid and incapable of recognizing their real threats or those that were not completely onboard with autocracy but weren’t willing to burn the whole system down. Therefore, the far left wing was able to seize on the inability for moderates and conservatives to make common cause thus damning Russia to a minority who alleged they were the majority (literally what Bolshevik means) running the country.

I think we’re seeing the same damnation in this country and this ignorant post is proof positive.
