Ah, flag burning, book banning.

Just a bunch of regular Americans.

Next thing you know they're gonna start raising their right (left?) arms at a roughly 45° angle upwards, fingers pointing to the sky, palms towards the ground. They'll silently watch the fire as they think in their tiny chimp brains that Nazis are true Americans and everyone else is an illegal alien who needs to be gassed.

all while goosestepping to the audio book of My Thoughts By Trump, (shadow written by somebody else because he only writes with sharpies and crayons)

Mine Komp(romat) by ~~covfefe~~ Trump

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Trump actually published a book suposedly authored by him, but was really just plagerized version of Mein Kampf. (And while, yes, it's 'my struggle', i felt 'my thoughts' would be more ironic.)

Ah, you mean the Bellamy salute!

[-] skyspydude1@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

"It's a traditional salute! There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's part of our heritage™"

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Didn't know that was the name of it, at least in the context of US history. Too bad a certain mustachioed dictator ruined both that and this symbol: 卍

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Posers, man. They steal your thing and ruin it for everyone.

I'm just glad that the army exists to protect the constitution.

I can't imagine a coup attempt from these chucklefucks going any way but atrociously for anyone who steps to the US Army.

As long as it's your own flag...

Last month, the Colorado GOP called for parents to pull all children from public schools, claiming Democrats use schools to “turn more kids trans.”

Colorado GOP, I ask you... To what end? Why would democrats benefit from this?

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 29 points 5 months ago

Puts aluminum hat on
Trans are, on average, less likely to vote Republican than Cis folks.
Takes aluminum hat off
Republicans have to keep voters scared. Otherwise they might consider voting for other parties.

Is that where they went? I swear I had 3 wienerz on me here just a few minutes ago. Now...

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Sounds like you weren't late to the sausage party. I take it you must've gotten the wieners off?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

you can buy as many wiernerz as you want on amazon. Discrete shipping, too. Usually.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

So I'm gonna change my kids gender to own the ~~libz~~ pubs? Cool theory, bros.

[-] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 23 points 5 months ago

It's projection. Republicans control youth through their own cult of religion. They cut education so young people have a hard time realizing they're being controlled.

They expect democrats are doing the same through pride and gay culture, that because those demographics tend to vote blue, it must be a political play to brainwash young people into voting blue.

It's projection.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 months ago

Speak for yourself. I'm trying to convert their kids just for the lulz.

[-] sparky1337@ttrpg.network 9 points 5 months ago

Fear mongering.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 24 points 5 months ago

Sounds like it's time to start selling pride flags

[-] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

My neighbors just put out a couple little pride flags. I should do the same.

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Sure, please buy them and donate to the cause then you can do whatever you want with them in the privacy of your own home.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 5 months ago

Golden charity opportunity. Show up to a rally with a sign that says "$50 for flags to burn". Take the money and donate to to worthy causes like the Trevor Project and other LGBT support organizations.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.

So the article acknowledges that the GOP is clearly hinting that they agree with the loons at Westboro Baptist but fails to draw the obvious conclusion. If they are starting with God Hates Flags and ending with Burn Pride Flags, this is clearly a call for violence against LGBTQ+ people. If you know any LGBTQ+ folk in the area, keep an eye on them. Some red-hat loons will potentially respond to this not so subtle call to action.
