Still my favorite
Here’s mine
(sorry about the ifunny watermark. I have it saved somewhere but I ain’t digging through all that)
Definitely what this combo means
haven’t seen than one. thanks, adding it to the collection :).
I had this as a bumper sticker on my
electric carChevy Volt a few years ago. Hehe. I got a lot of laughs and comments about it when pumping gas, or parking.Edited for clarity about why I would need gas for an electric car.
electric car
pumping gas
Pick one haha
Chevy Volt. It’s a plug-in electric power train with a backup gas generator. But yes, I can see how that seems very contradictory. Lol
And that still connects the engine directly to the wheels because old car makers loathe our dreams of real serial hybrids…
The engine only helps to power the drive train in mountain mode. Otherwise it charges the battery, which drives the electric motor. The Volt is a pretty awesome car. I would still be driving it if I didn’t need something more rugged, or could afford two separate vehicles. But I loved owning it. I even took it on a long distance trip over the mountains and it did great! I barely had to put gas in the thing unless it was freezing outside and I had a lot of driving to do that day, or for long-distance trips. The first year I owned it I only put gas in it twice, and the gas tank is only 9 gallons.
Some people would put fuel stabilizers in it since the fuel would go bad.
Checks out haha
Hey don’t tread on him man.

I have this as a Velcro patch thats stuck on a camping backpack
Anyone else hate that the Gadsden flag has been appropriated by ultra-libertarian jingoists? It’s an awesome-looking flag with a cool history and symbolism, but I feel like I couldn’t fly it without looking like a twat.
I feel you, i had the flag of Culpepper’s Minute Men hanging in my college dorm back in the day. Just like the Nazis before them Fascists bastardize shit they didn’t create
They always do
Ultra-libertarian Jingoist? I’m as confused by that combination of words as I am the flags on the truck.
The cool history: Are We The Baddies?

They’re liberterian the same way hitler and the Nazi’s were socialists, or how north korea is democratic…
Culpepper’s Minute Men
I had the Dont Tread on Me on twitter as my profile picture, I put that more than 10-15 years ago. I had to remove a couple years ago, because anyone who sees it will get the wrong idea.
Edit: also I was rewatching the movie Wind (about the American’s Cup) and the Geronimo ship had the Glasden flag on, that hasn’t aged well.

“Woman trampled in Capitol riots had ‘don’t tread on me’ flag”
"I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking (on top of her).
“There were people stacked two-three deep…people just crushed.”
Paramedics desperately tried to revive her but were unable to.
Photos from earlier that day showed her carrying the banner with the phrase “Don’t tread on me”.
The flag clearly doesn’t work 😂
That’s called imbecide
Is this some kind of American joke that I’m too European to understand?
The way I, as another European, understand this, he’s flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

Yes, the yellow flag is anti-government, libertarian, while the black and blue flag is pro government and specifically pro police.
It’s propaganda. Cops have a serious image problem in the US so they cynically co-opted an American flag for their cause, figuring that people won’t criticize the FLAG, right? It’s a marketing strategy that only appeals to folks who already have a child-like worship of authority.
It’s hilarious that they do it in a way that blatantly goes against the flag code. How disrespectful it is to change the flag, to wear the flag, or use it for advertisements.
I have seriously considered creating and printing pamphlets with the flag code on it to give to these faux patriots. Or maybe even those fake ticket things where I can check off what exactly they did to disrespect it.
I even had a neighbor who painted the floor of their trailer with it. They literally drove vehicles and trampled on the flag daily.
4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.
Lol
You’re talking about cops who use the Punisher logo unironically despite the fact that Frank Castle kills cops every chance he gets.
Bottom is just a classic meme, top is a guy flying near full size “don’t tread on me” and “thin blue line”( fanatic police support) flags. Many would argue these are varying levels of contradictory. It’s also a very MAGA thing to do so you can draw conclusions from that as well.
Wasn’t able to identify the left flag, so I made a (rather lame) joke instead of asking directly. Thanks for clarifying!
Good use of Cunningham’s law.
If ignorance and foolishness is a joke, then yes. The meanings of the two flags are ideologically opposed to each other.
Lots of interesting discussions over the flags and the hypocrisy and lack of understanding of the flags by the person displaying the flags.
However, I think their message is crystal clear.
“Don’t try to stop me from oppressing anyone I disagree with.”
Fascism at it’s finest, folks… smh
I once saw a guy with a bumper sticker featuring the US flag and the Confederate flag with the caption, “One nation under God.”
“one nation under white skinned blue eyed God”
Can’t believe they went so woke /s
Some of those that woke forces

“Don’t tread on me! Tread on them!”
Angry Dennis is my favorite Dennis.
“You haven’t thought of the smell you bitch!!!”
There’s a person in a town near me with a big pickup truck that confuses the hell out of people because it’s a Trump flag, except the background is a pride flag. What makes it so confusing is that the word ‘fuck’ above the word ‘Trump’ is in much smaller letters.
Decent troll job if you ask me. I love the idea of MAGA assholes going apeshit over a Trump pride flag.
not sure what the censoring of the plate does. That truck is visible and identifiable for a five mile radius, and I guarantee you can hear it for more than that
Relaying valuable information.
Viva la oppression! :-P
