    Co-opting their symbols and culture is unironically a powerful move that more leftists need to be using imo.

      I believe in gun control but I pack appendix carry and have a 0.8 second draw. Too many lunatics are allowed to own guns these days.

            Well, it wouldn’t have been the symbol I would have chosen to co-opt, but that’s what you went with so I gave you an idea for how to do it. Personally I would start with something a little tamer if I were you.

              Alternatively, one might note most conservative symbols carry a broad array of bigoted meanings and it’s usually easier and more satisfying to smash them instead.
