    As someone who plays the musical instrument called “trumpet”, I ask- no, I beg of you, PLEASE do not use my musical instrument to describe fascists.

        Personally I always go with either “Trump-supporter” or “Fascist”, I think giving them a silly name ultimately only serves to dehumanize which doesnt help unless your goal is violence.

        i will admit that calling them “weirdos” feels very cathartic for me, but tbh I think of most of the ones who aren’t in power as just being really brainwashed, so it feels a little sad to resort to name calling. better to just do what you can to deprogram or cut ties and move on. sorry if that makes me kind of a stick in the mud for memes 😅

        I’m fond of Magoo because they must be fucking blind to have not seen any of the news when Trump was running the show

      if the instrument is that different to the politician why do they both tongue A minor but struggle to hit the double Ds consistently?

      I’m much more in favor of never using his name just for the sole reason that he loves to see his name everywhere. plus we already have a word for his supporters; it’s hogs.

      My first thought as well. I like being a trumpeter and don’t want that taken away

      Time for a new name for your loud extendable flute, what about lextaf and plugging it into daily conversation?

      “Hello sir, I’m playing lextaf, are you playing lextaf? Let us lextafeers lextaf with our lextafs and forget about our current political headaches.”
