The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A little May 17 'No Kings' protest on the Central Coast of CA drew about 250 local folks.

I read on 'Nextdoor' that social media Rachel Maddow gave us recognition. That opened the floodgates to comments from across the state, folks are focused on one man's very prominent sign: a large red sign with a swastika half covered by Trump's signature comb-over hair symbol.

The comments mostly focused on the swastika-wearing Trump combover.


Anti---Why is there a swatstika? That’s not necessary

Anti---No matter what the intentions were, displaying the swastika crosses a line. It discredits the entire gathering and the cause for which they are protesting. Disgusting.

Pro---Republicans in Charlottesville VA, 2017. Where was the outrage then?

Pro--- A swastika with a Trump hairdo. Cuz that’s the message. NO KINGS!

Anti---the red sign with the black swastika was all people saw that drove by. Believe me; it was gross.

Pro---it is Gross! Trump is following the same playbook. So it is an educational reminder, to not let history to repeat. Remember Dachau: “Never Again!”


Obviously I side with the guy who made the poster: It's a valid graphic warning that Trump, his staff and cabinet are rapidly advancing fascism.

The controversial poster:
nextdoor.com: 200 or so of our neighbors, out fighting for our Constitution and our nation.
