A similar shitty Gadsden flag parody was in a protest flyer I saw recently -

No, that's not the best Gadsden flag parody. Far from it. Here's some better ones:
Here's some of my set
Thanks, those are great too! 😁
"No flying for me" is one I haven't seen before but it's definitely a classic
There is no masquerading. Libertarians are just cons/repubs without the religion who smoke weed
The opposite of conservative is progressive, not liberal.
Liberals want to "liberate" the market from regulation, which frankly, snuggles nicely with fascists who want slaves back.
Is that why the fascists threw the liberals into prisons or murdered them?
Libertarians are just republicans with a better working knowledge of local age of consent laws.
Politics have been irreparably poisoned by that political compass bullshit.
I love this!!
Fuck, the cat grabbing the snake is just perfect!
What's clear is that the Right-wing's whole thing doesn't exactly attract (good) artists. They tend to borrow and steal most of their iconography rather than make something new^1^. Strangely, the whole movement also seems to be both unable to execute parody nor see the humor in self-parody, which I assert is a faculty needed to pull off good political art.
So that puts some serious creative power in league with everyone else. Should be interesting.
^1^ - MAGA is a great example of this. The slogan itself is lifted from Reagan's 1980 campaign, so it's nothing new. The current slogan marketing "design" is nothing more than a white serif font on a red field, which in highly-technical graphic design terms is called: "lazy as fuck."

...Which in turn lifted it from the National Front's "Make Britain Great Again," which is the last time it was actually clever wordplay.
Reagan stole it from an American as well but the theme that everything was somehow better 40 years ago predates this country as a whole by like I dunno the history of the world presumably.
The joke is Britain's full name is Great Britain.
r/libertarian was mildly pro-Biden 4 years ago. I guess the astroturfing and corpofication of reddit have taken their toll.
Wait, "Gadse" is used outside [email protected] ??
It's a typo. The original "Don't tread on me" Flag is called the "Gadsden Flag".
Maybe you were joking, I didn't know this and I think it's pretty funny how well the typo fits!
I wasn't joking. I always assumed it was just a joke on mispronouncing Katze in a funny way.
As a liberal, and individualist, this is cursed.
