In reply to the discussion: Katie Couric Exposes RBG After 'Protecting' Her from Scolding National Anthem Kneelers Like Colin Ka [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)24. I agree with RBG. When did liberals begin to participate in groupthink?
You think all liberals agree with kneeling during the anthem? No way. We all agreed they had the right to do so and understood the narrative they were attempting to send.
But almost almost of my liberals friends disagreed with it and would never do it ourselves. Especially when being paid millions a year.
We are not iconoclastic. But 3 years ago I would not have dared post anything on DU saying I disagree with kneeling during the anthem. It would have caused negative consequences. Kneeling does not help our cause in the long run. Others may disagree. But those who want to certainly have the right and should be protected.
