    And that, of course, means it has never happened anywhere. Even for you, this one was bad...and I have the bar set super low. In fact, it's in a trench.

    good to hear they don’t fly nazi flags.

    Last time driving thru Polk they have those merch stands on the side of the road. Although didn’t stop, I don’t remember seeing nazi flags.

    I think that’s exactly what happened. He’s a trumper who hates Jews expressing that hatred in a boat parade in Florida.

    What’s so surprising about that? You think that dude is voting for Kamala?

    Exactly, as a matter of fact I would almost be willing to bet if someone had shown up to any of those parades with a Nazi flag there would have been trouble of some sort.

    I can't imagine adopting a viewpoint that attempts to look serious to the opposing side, while winking and nodding at my own side that "I know it's a ploy, I am not really that stupid."

    There's a whole country full of people mindlessly spamming that Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a fascist.

    There is plenty to criticize Trump over without ploys like this to target the very rock bottom of human intellect.

    Fact is, Trumpers and anti-Trumpers alike tend to open fire when opportunity arises on Nazi flagbearers, we've all heard from our grandparents about their dead friends.

    Looks like that is exactly what happened here. A parade full of Americans was invaded by a Nazi float (planted or otherwise) and they water cannoned it. Not because they were Trumpers but because that is what Americans do, when armed appropriately.

    But you all knew that.

    I think he is trying to pull any antisemitic stunt that he can that will get him publicity. Trolling a Trump boat parade in one of the areas of Florida known for having a large Jewish population would seem to fit into that. I think it is pretty clear that the Trump fans on the boat thought they were being trolled and they were not happy about it.

    Also, showing up to a boat parade in what looks like a pre-2000 SeaRay and wearing all black clothing is like driving up to play 18 at private golf club in a Saturn wearing jean shorts, a wife beater, and flip flops. It looks so out of place it is comical.

    Yeah I don’t think he’s trolling anybody. He’s just a Nazi Trump supporter at a boat parade. Just because other boats were offended by it does not change that basic fact. American Nazis support Trump. None of this is surprising.

    OK. I think we can agree to disagree on whether this is a troll job or not.

    However, I would disagree with the idea of trying to bring a pre-2000 SeaRay to a boat parade is not surprising.

    Nothing wrong with a pre 2000 boat. I bought my Wellcraft in 1999. Now a Sea Ray I don't know about. Before I bought my Wellcraft I had an 89 Proline. I miss that old boat it was built for fishing, the Wellcraft I think was built for boat parades.

    Meh I have a 98 Proline, not into the whole boat parade for any reason but if I was I wouldn’t think twice about bringing it.

    While the idea seems patently ridiculous on the surface, in terms of Trump supporters it is well within the realm of plausibility.

    yes, after what we’ve seen from mobs of trump followers, they could have a sign of the pillow guy.
    imo these guys in the op are mocking and trolling trump followers. However it’s counterproductive as it ultimately detracts from showing how bad Trump will be for our country. Or as JD Vance once put it…..”Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation’s highest office.”

    Pillow Guy was one of Trumps main advisors in the waning days of his Presidency. :emoji_joy:

    I’m sure the flags are for troll effect. But let’s be serious, the big problem here is American Nazi’s are supposed to be wearing khacki’s and a Fred Perry polo.

    We have a GOP office seeker in Minnesota saying the bad guys won WW2 and Trump wanting a Unified Reich if he wins but a Nazi Trump flag must be a troll.

    Sure.
