Conservatives: Back the blue!

Conservatives on January 6: Kill the cops!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Where I live, conservatives have mostly figured this conundrum out: "We Back Local Police", followed by red cross-out circles over FBI and CIA.

uhhuh. Sure. (FYI that's what happens when you listen to homeopaths. specifically too much collodial silver)

too much collodial silver = any amount of collodial silver.

Image Transcription:

White text on a black background reading:

"These Colors Don't Run (Into the Building While Kids Are Getting Shot)"

Underneath is a Blue Lives Matter flag consisting of a black and white American flag where the white stripe under the square of stars has been coloured blue.

Hi there! Serious question. Why are you doing this? I have no problem with it; just curious.

If anyone has vision impairment or otherwise can't view the image, then they can still participate in the discussion about it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Visually impaired users benefit from transcription of an image's contents, especially when that image does not have corresponding alt-text for their tooling to narrate for them.

Why the 51 star flag though?

lmao I didn't even notice, Puerto Rico must have finally gotten in

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If conservatives weren't trying to be racist, they'd have let Puerto Rico in ages ago and picked up some more senators, which is why Democrats never seem particularly interested in pushing the issue.

I was always under the impression that the D's would pick up seats if PR became a state, that GOP assholery like Trump's treatment of PR after the hurricane, meant that it was a sure thing for Ds. But apparently it is WAY more complicated than that, as most things are -- someone once broke PR politics down for me but I forgot everything except, "outcome would be uncertain."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The outcome would be very uncertain. If you've ever talked to someone from PR, it seems to be a very split opinion. They already get citizenship, they don't have to pay federal taxes but they do get some federal tax money spent on them. They have local representation but they do not have true federal representation. This really isn't an issue of Republican Vs Democrat as more as it is what the people of PR want.

Pizza delivery men have a more dangerous job. And you know that thin blue line you think is stopping society from chaos? We'll it's society that's holding the blue pen. You work for us.
