I just read that the Minneapolis Militaria show promoters have sent all vendors notice that no Nazi items will be permitted. Three years ago they came for the Confederate battle flags now they're coming for the Hakenkreuz. What's next?

What's sad here in Georgia, there are talks on trying go about removing the civil war images on the side of Stone Mountain. At some point there has to be a line drawn and make that stand. We have our history and they are trying to erase what happened. Not cool at all!

Question

It is bad enough that all the snowflakes out there get offended by everything and cry, whine and riot to get their way. Its worse when the politicians cave in to their demands.

I just don't get this tear down historical monuments because somebody got offended. Those statues represent history and art work. You don't have to agree with history or art work. If you don't like it, just walk away. But, you don't have to destroy what you don't like or disagree with. Grow up.

I still don't know/understand what a "snowflake" is?
Second time in a week I've heard it- must be code for something?

A unique special delicate liberal-minded millennial who melts down at the slightest bit of heat - like not recognizing they are unique and special and deserving of a trophy, and who have an absolute right to not be offended.
A synonym would be "a crying *****."
Edit : apparently vernacular references to female genitalia are to be avoided, so use your imagination to substitue the stars, Don.
