    I know, but it’s like… how do you hold those three things as values dear enough to you to wave flags from the back of your truck and not see the dissonance.

    It’s like there’s a town near me and there’s one house that has a big Trump/Vance flag and two Trump/Vance banners on the fence in front of their porch.

    And a “proud union member” sign in their yard.

    Makes no fucking sense.

      Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it’s impossible to see it.

      That’s Indiana for you. NWI is littered with that and some of the people I work with are in a union and parrot Fox News. Wildest shit I’ve ever seen.

          Oh that’s way down by Terre Haute. Makes slightly more sense but still baffles me that someone can simultaneously be proud of being in a union while supporting the guy that wants to dismantle them.

      i still think we should start satirizing flags, and making nonsense flags that don’t actually exist, but appear to exist, not unlike e pluribus anus, although that applies to the show community, so it doesn’t count.

      There’s got to be all kinds of stupid shit we can think up.
