    That's a Patriot Front flag, FYI.

    I really want to know who the money is behind patriot front. They came out of nowhere with lots of flashy promotional videos, and VERY high end graphic design. They are very well funded and it makes me curious.

    They are also straight up fascists, in case you couldn't tell from the flag.

    edit: Now that I'm thinking about it, the Patriot Front graphic design feels very similar to the "Patriot Party" lion. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same guy/group was behind both.

      Pretty sure they've got white gaiters on

      Wasn't there personally, so I couldn't tell you much else

        fun fact: neck gaiters actually increase your odds of contracting covid. It's safer to wear no mask at all than to wear one of those. the reason is because they cause increased water condensation near your mouth.

    The Blues Brothers had the right idea about cops and Nazis.

    And pop country musicians.

      I mean, I sometimes feel like I'm on a mission from God

      And by that I mean I wish I had a big landboat to drive through them with

      I'll give it a go, but I have no doubts that most of the people in my town will want nothing to do with it

      Hell, a bunch of them will probably go join up with the Fash

        Just when I think I'm pretty familiar with white supremacist symbols, I see a new one. There's no bottom to this hole.

          It's not enough that there are Three Percenters and QAnon freaks around me, now I gotta worry about these star-spangled shitheads

    Imagine standing on a corner to shout to the masses and NOT have the scarlet banner on. Smdh
