This goes to show Trump's win was about jobs. /s
Hey, just think how many jobs we created from people buying all those Tiki torches.
They went to walmart to buy tiki torches like this.
But they look so big and threatening with the lens flare!
I wonder how many of the participants who care about "preserving history" have read a history book since they were forced to in high school.
Oh and I'm sure it's just poor photography that prevents you from seeing all the black people in the photo. /s
They couldnt even pass a basic history class.
Oh great, I clicked on that link and now I'm getting Facebook ads for those Tiki torches.
Sorry, I was just showing what they bought to try and look all scary.
No, it's not your fault. Just mildly annoyed at Facebook and Amazon for spamming ads at me every time I look at an Amazon product page.
Well... if they wanted to seem like respectable people that you would want to listen to, ooh boy they failed miserably
Tell me about it. Seems like there is definitely some kind of appeal to inducing fear. This action was very menacing.
That said, "several dozen" is a pretty small crowd.
