I've seen that phrase on bumper stickers many times. It's fully unironic, and earnest.

It's right up there with people who fly a blue line flag and a Gadsden flag together. Or the stickers that show a cross, a gun, and a heart. I saw one recently that was the word LOVE spelled out with various firearms.

They don't have coherent ideologies. It's just reactionary bullshit that's wildly incompatible, but they're too blinded by their bigotry to see it.

Related, I'd always heard that the /r/the_donald started as an ironic shitpost sub that was taken over by people who agreed with it unironically and then became 100% serious.

Poe's Law, and all that.

Looking at this from another country, the whole thing just make me sad. I hope to never hear of this man except on the day the ruling/sentencing is announced.

This shitpost seems to make people laugh looking at the upvote. I guess people have different sensor of humor, or see things differently in the US.

Not really much difference in the sense of humor. It's mostly just a coping mechanism for most of us who are living through this insanity.

We're laughing, but it's more like:

Nervous laughter What the fuck?

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

I'm disappointed this isn't using the mugshot face for the background. How dare you break the trend?

I’m sorry, I just realized I’m forcing Beehaw to host this shit in the server… 🥲

Three hail Mary's or whatever, and pick up some trash around your neighborhood. Then your sins will be forgiven.
