Imagine starting or rallying towards a civil war

… for some dumb, stupid, meaningless, ignorant, arrogant and self serving politician like Donald Trump.

He’s not even a politician

He’s a game show host who was informed his only chance of staying out of prison was to be elected president

But then he committed more crimes, so even having been president will no longer cut it

He’s not even a game show host. He’s a failed real estate mogul who inherited his wealth and then squandered it, bankrupting multiple businesses along the way.

Not to mention a professional debtor who has probably borrowed more money than he’s ever made for himself.

Counterpoint: it’s more like they are trying to use support for him as the excuse to start the civil war? But if not him, they would find some other “cause” for it.

With arson, it is not enough simply to put out the immediate fire.

I can’t wait to hear the conservative explanation on how the two are completely different and not at all related.

You leave that adorable no step on snek flag out of this. It’s so cute! Even though it’s meant to be a parody of the gadsden, I sadly can’t enjoy it without people making assumptions. :(

Join my movement to turn “don’t tread on me” to a bikers first message. We support bike infrastructure and stopping cars from treading on cycling.

You misunderstand. It’s an international sign of distress, or a way to protest your neighbor’s inappropriate yard signs. Isn’t that right, Justice?

Now is your chance to sell the new upside down american flags for triple the price to the stupidest people on planet earth. Do it quick before they realize they can just flip over the 27 flags they already own. End your ebay listing with god bless to really sell it.

Right-wingers love to disrespect the flag. Seems to contradict their allegiance to the flag, and the liberty and justice for all it is purported to represent.
