The authoritarian left is determined to control as much of our lives as possible. To do so, they fake outrage about the most benign things. Currently, they’re waging a war on the Confederate Flag.

Just recently, a liberal social justice warrior trying to stand up to store employees about a rug depicting the Confederate Flag quickly realized she lacked the emotional stability the task required. After shouting at them in the store, she went outside and filmed herself criticizing the store further. When one of the employees went out asked her to leave, she freaked out and burst into tears, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. Concerned, an onlooker approached and managed to get her to drive away.

Not everyone is cut out to be a political activist. Heather Franklin learned this the hard way. During what she thought would be a normal trip to Everyday Deals Extreme, a discount liquidator store in Portland, Oregon, she stumbled upon an injustice so terrible she felt compelled to speak up.

Specifically, the store she was shopping at apparently sold a rug that looked like a Confederate Flag. Franklin, who considers it to be a “hate flag,” thought selling the rug was completely unacceptable. She whipped out her phone so she could share her virtue signaling with others and started berating the store employees.

She began by pointing the camera at an employee in a blue t-shirt and asked, “you don’t care about having hate flags on your wall?” He answered her question by telling her to do some research about the flag and asked her what exactly makes it a hate flag. She explained, “a confederate flag is a symbol of slavery and lynching, and raping of black people. It’s a hate symbol….that’s a symbol of slavery. [It’s] like having a swastika on your wall. It’s no different. This is shameful.” The store employee shook his head and walked away, clearly unwilling to waste time trying to get her to understand why she was wrong.

Franklin then approached an employee in a red t-shirt and tried to harass him. However, he was much less interested in being friendly. When she pointed the camera at him, he flipped her off and told her to get out of the store. She refused so the first employee she attacked decided to use her own tactics against her. He pulled out his phone and started recording her freak out. “Look at this liberal,” he commented while filming.

“Yea, look at this liberal whiny b**** here,” added the employee in red while waving to Franklin’s camera. He continued, “Hillary supporter? Bernie supporter? Which one did you vote for that lost? Is that why you’re in a bad mood?”

She responded, “no, I’m in a bad mood because there are hate symbols on the wall and I brought my kids in here and now I have to see hate signs on the wall while I’m grocery shopping.” They told her she was the one actually being hateful and asked her once again to leave, threatening to call the police.

She finally exited the store but remained in the parking lot to continue her rant. The employee in red followed her out and filmed her rant from a considerable distance, telling her repeatedly to drive away. Despite the fact that he was a significant distance from her, she screamed, “get away from me,” in response and yelled at bystanders to call the police.

Shortly after demanding that someone call the police, she burst into tears. A concerned woman approached and tried to calm her down. Unfortunately, this had the opposite effect. She became even more hysterical, calling the employees “monsters” and “evil people.” When asked what happened, she cried, “he just attacked me,” adding, “I usually shop here, and then I saw that they had Confederate Flags, so I started asking them [about it], and then they just started attacking me. They were calling me an f****** b**** and all kinds of stuff. And then they followed me to the parking lot. I was just trying to leave with two toddlers.” After hyperventilating for several minutes, she finally left. Unsurprisingly, liberals were outraged over the incident and protested outside the store, forcing the store owner to punish the employees and remove the historic symbols from their store.

If the issue with the Confederate Flag is that it hurts people’s feelings, then the solution to that is more exposure. If people saw the flag more, they probably wouldn’t be so sensitive. However, it’s more likely that liberals trying to outlaw the Confederate Flag are really just trying to control other people’s lives. Conservatives must not let them be successful.
