    Imagine if just one person burned one Trump flag somewhere public.

    We’d never hear the fucking end of it.

    I have a flag inside an upstairs window but between the window and the shades so everyone walking down the street can see it. It’s been there for over a year. Anybody with a problem will get laughed off the property. Anybody who continues to have a problem will test our Stand Your Ground laws.

    No matter whether it’s gay pride, personal pride, or national pride, Republicans want to set it on fire.

    It really shows how small minded conservatives are. They have no hobbies or interests other than being obnoxious. I’ve never seen one of them say anything remotely intelligent and they contribute nothing but pain to civilization. It’s unfortunate COVID didn’t take more of them out.

    Quick! Someone start a non-profit selling Pride flags to cash in in the latest conservative dipshit movement.

    I bought a bunch of little pride flags to stick in the ground around the neighborhood and a banner for my front yard when I saw this a couple days ago. Fortunately I live in a great city for queer folk, but you go just a mile north or east of here and it gets ugly pretty fast.

      I visited Colorado ~4 years ago. I remember thinking the people in Denver were impressively nice, especially us being from Florida. But, once we got to our Airbnb a few miles outside of the city, things were different. The Airbnb owner, while still nice enough to meet with and welcome us to his property, just had to talk about politics. It was that victim complex where he was being told what to do by the liberals and blah blah blah… One of the ways he was getting back at them was by encouraging all visitors to feed the wild deer, something that was allegedly made illegal by liberals to control him. Maybe he thought we would care about his politics and even agree with him because we were light-skinned from Florida, I was in the military, and my traveling partner was a cop, but we had far left political views and never asked him to begin with. It made us not want to talk to him anymore.

        Yeesh. Colorado has a lot of rural space with a lot of folks who think like that. The borders between the liberal city/college types and the MAGA country types can be pretty thin.

      It’s actually genius to find a bigot and just stick one pride flag in their yard every day to drive them nuts.

        We have One Particular Family who ran Trump and Tina Peters campaign yard signs for months back in the day, but who have conspicuously shut the fuck up since all the convictions and such. Their back yard butts up to public space where I plan on dropping at least one. I won’t mess with their private property, but I will put a flag down behind their house.

    So they are OK with “willful destruction of other peoples’ property”? That could lead to interesting conclusions…

    How anyone can be member of the LGBTQ community and a member of the Republican Party at the same time is beyond me.
