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

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.)

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.

Ah, you mean the Bellamy salute!

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

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

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

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?

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.

THEY TOOK R WIENERZ!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Sounds like it's time to start selling pride flags

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

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.

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.

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.
