The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois,[3] is a loosely organized far-right anti-government extremist movement in the United States.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It has also been described as a militia.[10][11][12] Adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War or second American Revolution which they call "the boogaloo" or "the boog".[13][14]
I remember when they celebrated January 6th, only to claim it was a false flag once it became clear how much it failed.
They're equal parts scary and pathetic, incompetent while still earnestly pushing fascism.
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do, so it doesn't matter if many of them are dead weight otherwise.
They will kill minorities and laugh while doing it.
Don't let their comically stupid reasoning and detachment from reality fool you.
They're dangerous and cannot be taken lightly.
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do
gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it's a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.
Fair point. It was predictable that things would end up that way given the system's design. Equally powerful votes is the best practically, but even that's imperfect. Elections can be life or death for some, but not matter as much for others. American elections matter more for people in other countries than for many American citizens. That's the inequality I was talking about, but you're correct. It isn't the only one.
the last image seemingly had an anti vaxx account.
All the screenshots are of crazies. I think in that one, the people who posted the polls were Jewish right wingers and didn't expect their fans to be Nazis. They accidentally proved the point they tried to disprove. Not 100% sure tho

This one is also a KIA...

Thanks. From my perspective, commonly Chinese numberplate have 8s in them being lucky. And being Australian I thought that numberplate read BODG as in bodgy meaning of poor quality.
Anyway, depressing that the numberplate was not fun or positive at all.
I had the same initial reading, but upon a second closer look it's two O's so definitely depressing and not fun at all. :(
I knew the 88 thing, not the boog though. Thanks for the knowledge.
I don’t know how I missed BOOG as boogaloo boy considering there are some active boogs in my area. Granted, I usually spot them based on apparel around political events and protests.
Good catch.
You should report them to whoever issues license plates there. They take this stuff seriously.
Or key the car, if you're out of sight.
They shouldn't do anything like that, or slash their tires, or put a brick through their windshield.
Potato in the exhaust is a classic.
I'd rather eat the potato, though.
Rutabega in the tailpipe.
Slap some bologna on to it.
Someone put a piece of American cheese on my exes car once. I thought it might be because of the pagan symbols on it. Took like five minutes to scrape and wipe it off, mostly because it slightly melted despite the low temperatures.
I don’t see a specific place to report an offensive plate, but I did send an email to the Indiana BMV. They review personalized plates and reject some, so this must have slipped past their radar.

Does that car still have a catalytic converter?
It's from Indiana, so honestly 50/50 either way.
Heroin, don't fail me now.
One foot on a fascist,
One in the clouds.
i'm sure it's just a 36 year old named john boogaart
My nickname among some old friends is actually "The Boog". Finding out these assholes have corrupted it angers me so much.
As a Gavin who only had singers and comedians to represent the name, the existence of that proud boy asshole definitely gave me similar feelings.
Always Carry A Brick 🧱
This must be the before picture?
Maybe he’s a fan of Boogie2988
Hmmm, but since when? Could still be sus lol
Least racist Indiana Resident:
Got any broken spark plugs?
OOTL what's this mean?
Spark plugs (broken ceramic shards) shatter glass easily. Do with this information what you must
Thanks. Does it work for front windshields because they're laminated, and not tempered?
Well of course you did. They’re Hoosiers.
