Fact is if you’re pissed off enough to put a meme like this together you let them win

NGL besides the dumb slave owning propaganda, everything else in the pic looks like a fun time.

Not quite because this guy works out.

Nah I think of a bootlicker that thinks he's cool for saying a dog whistle but is scared of just saying fuck Joe Biden out loud

[shrug] little of column A, half dozen of the other

Disagree. That guy is in decent shape.

Accurate. Also, people who call trump a Cheeto look equally stupid. It's not like there isn't a lot to attack there without hyper focusing on his skin color. Discourse in this country has gotten really childish the last few years.

I get that. It's always a little cringe-y when someone uses a (poor) play on words like Sleepy Joe or Donald Dump. It just feels like playground level insults and extremely immature, though probably pretty on par when it comes to politics. I also feel like the right does this more, or at least more publicly then the left, however that could also just be because of my preference for social media. E.g. Lemmy.

In my experience the liberals keep it on the internet. I don't see any stores selling anti-trump merch, or pickup trucks with gigantic "FUCK ORANGE MAN" flags flying on them. It's still really childish and cringy regardless of the medium though.

I suppose you could couple that with the genuine fear of displaying merch like that. I know it exists but where I live, I would be surprised if my property wasn't vandalized or possibly even fired upon if I displayed such material. Hell, even just a Vote Biden sign would likely receive the same treatment.

My uncle spent $400 on a security camera setup when someone stole his trump sign back in 19. I was like is it really that I portant to you that passers by know who you're voting for? He didn't have an answer lol

Except fat, room temp IQ, racist, and on social assistance while screaming incoherently about socialists.

I'm seeing "Try That in a Small Town" bumper stickers around me the last couple months. Usually with FJB and BlueLivesMatter stickers as well.

Yeah, when the musician has to go to someone else's "small" town to film the music video it says something. He filmed it in front of the court house in Columbia Tennessee. Not everyone was happy about that. Came out about the same time the majority black churches in the area started getting KKK pamphlets placed around.

Because like schoolchildren or Ned Flanders we must not say bad words but abbreviations or euphemisms are okely dokely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Well it started because at a nascar race a chant started "Fuck Joe Biden" and the newscaster said they were chanting "Let's go Brandon" as someone named Brandon nascars I guess. The newscaster either misheard or quickly covered because the FCC says "we must not say bad words but abbreviations or euphemisms are okely dokely" on television, and now it's a meme to them.

Frankly I don't like the FCC or their censorship anyway but that's me. Been on the "fuck the FCC, PMRC, RIAA, etc" train since before the FCC wouldn't let Em be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I have a neighbor who was a bumper sticker, very large, that is "FJB" exactly like that. I've seen some who spell out "Fuck Joe Biden" as well, but most (in my area) try to be a bit more subtle

True bravery is only expressing your beliefs when you are in the majority, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I would totally never endorse accidentally keying those vehicles or anything

TFW You're at a basketball game and your friend just scored a 3-pointer. His name is Brandon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Close. I picture Frisbee.

That is the luxury home version of them.

I had this guy move in down the street from me. Except more overwieght and only had a thin blue line flag. Apparently he owned a couple acres of land by the road. First the camper appered, followed by the beer cans and tarps strung up everywhere. His days consisted of sitting in various delapidated, cheap plastic lawn chairs and drinking. Clothing optional if it was hot enough. And let me assure he, he was a tighy whitey kinda guy. Or more like tighty browny if you know what I mean.

The county caught up with him a few weeks later, and that's when the portajohn appeared. This was not an improvement, because the wind blew it over and nobody stood it back up. Also the wind was shredding the tarps, creating these streamers of plastic that waved in the wind like those crappy inflatable tube men outside of the car dealership.

Finally it came out when he got arrested that he was hiding from arreest warrents in another state. Someone came and got the portocrapper and camper, leaving only the beer cans and shredded tarps as a reminder of our temporary nieghbor.

1 out of 10, would not recommend. Nothing like the smell of hot tipped over portojohn wafting on the wind.

Few things make me appreciate California more than my memories of nearly every creek with a bridge over it in Missouri having been treated as an impromptu landfill.

Someone had the gall to dump a washer and dryer on the side of the road on my commute, I was nervous it would enable others, but no other trash showed up, and after a week or two the washer and dryer were removed.

Ironically, the guy who’d complain about property values if “those” people moved in

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Amazing how many of those people with thin blue line stickers on their cars are happy to violate every traffic law on the books.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I know a bunch of people who get them thinking they're "get out of a ticket free" stickers. There's also a more local version that shows support for our state police which are bought for similar reasons.

That said, I'm willing to give some benefit of doubt when I see them on vehicles but never if I see the big ass flags waving on houses.

Merry Christmas, the shitter was full
