Gotta love conservative double-think. A guy who lives up the street from me has a big “come and take it” sticker on the back window of his truck flanked by two thin blue line Punisher skulls.
Like, my brother in Christ, do you not understand who they’re going to be sending to “take it?” I swear these guys think Kamala is going to personally come to their house to demand they give up their guns.
I WILL NIT COMPLY
I always find people that think that pictures using skeletons makes them more badass really funny. It’s like the little kid version of scary. OMG it’s a hand but it’s a SKELETON HAND! VERY BIGLY STRONG.
It makes me think of bars, trailers, rusty motorcycles and drug abuse… for some reason.
Ironically it’s very specifically weaker, without muscles.
Truth. BUT IT’S SCARY BECAUSE I SAW IT AROUND HALLOWEEN AND MY INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT STOPPED AT 12 YEARS OLD!
🎶🎵spooky, scary skeletons will flip your neighbors off🎵🎶
Should have used this flag
Ah, the Downbadsden Flag, a national cornerstone of the USA!
Tread harder daddy, uwu
:3
People just put those stickers on their car to get out of tickets.
Translation: “I like police (when they beat colored people) but will resist when they tell me to follow rules”
Pretty much. I usually assume folks aren’t aware of their motivations. This is no exception.
Not that it is likely true - it just makes my existence a bit smoother.
Seems pretty consistent. The dude knows that cops are there to uphold white supremacy, he is white and therefore not in danger of being murdered by them. “Conservatism is the belief that laws are there to bind an outgroup but not protect, and protect an in group but not bind them” paraphrasing the quote.
Thank you for introducing me to Wilhoit’s Law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
It is a really good quote that crystallized for me what conservatives were all about. It just didn’t make a fuck of a lot of sense to me beforehand. Why vote against your interests over and over again?
That, and I also now understand that there is something like 30 percent of the population that doesn’t believe in positive sum games. They think that with every transaction there must be a winner and a loser. Don’t quote me on that exact amount. But it is just a startling amount of people that have some very weird beliefs that lead to fascism.
Fascists are strange creatures indeed.
They claim to be all about logic and rationality, but even a little bit of either blows apart their entire worldview.
“They’re taking all of your jobs” while “they’re lazy and stealing all of the welfare money”.
“It’s simply the natural order” yet “we need brutal enforcement to keep it in place”.
“It’s free speech” yet “ban the books, ban the journalism, jail the journalists”.
“America did not do anything wrong” yet “we cannot teach portions of American history”.
“War is terrible” yet “we’ll blow them to smithereens”.
“College education is useless liberal indoctrination” yet “I was incredibly smart which you can tell because I went to Wharton” and “I graduated from Yale”.
“Thoughts and prayers are all we can offer for shooting victims because bans won’t work” but “let’s ban abortion”.
To your first paragraph, I would say it still doesn’t make a lot of sense. I do think your average conservative benefits from conservative rulemaking/enforcement in a “sundown town,” look-the-other-way-if-you’re-one-of-us sort of microcosm, but when you look at the effects of conservative policymaking on a macro-social and -economic level, it’s clear that middle-Americans are still getting a worse deal than they would under more progressive regimes.
The dude knows that cops are there to uphold white supremacy, he is white and therefore not in danger of being murdered by them
That may be this man’s belief, but he’s mistaken. Cops murder black/brown Americans at a disproportionate rate, but in absolute numbers, poor white folks catch the majority of State violence.
poor white folks

I guess he thinks he’s good.
Needs a Trump mugshot with “NO SURRENDER” under it too.
Zone out at “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”
Turn it up to 11 at “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me”
Fun fact: Rage against the Machine had been one of several music groups to require pharmaceutical compliance at their shows during the mysterious global event.
More aptly, they should be called “Rage Along With The Machine”.
Just missing the punisher skull with Trump hair to complete the stupidity
That’s a real thing, isn’t it?..
ಠ_ಠ
Yeah it’s absolutely absurd especially when combined with the thin blue line… Nothing like a vigilante to say “I respect the law and officers of the law.”
Funny enough my immigrant coworker has this on his “new” truck, but only because he just bought it off some jerkwad that had it on there lol he didn’t know what it was.
The only thing Donald Trump has ever punished is a bucket of KFC.
And maybe a toilet.
more likely his pants judging by all the smell statements
🤮
And he’s exactly the kind of corrupt scumbag the Punisher fights against.
Pretty sure it’s on the other side.
A car powered by a perpetual whiplash mechanism, like dropping a slice of toast buttered on both sides.
Enough with cold fusion, more research needs to be done on harnessing the power of hypocrisy. It’s such an incredibly rich resource right now.
Gobbless brother
SPEAK UP BROTHER, I CAN’T HEAR YOU THERE!!!
