On to the other content of the shirt.

Liberty: For whom? Even before that, why should I believe Trump's definition of liberty (implied here) is superior to the SJW definition?

Guns: Barely regulated rights to own and use firearms? The traditional American definition is...unique. I'll grant that much. I suppose it's because other nations lack a citizenry infested with paranoia about devolving into totalitarianism if we avert our gaze to sneeze or get dust out of our eye. That or else certain Americans think that freedom means doing whatever the hell they want without wondering how allowing that activity can be used irresponsibly by others.

Bible: You can have this one. Merely stating you support the Bible is no more objectionable than shirts saying "Read the Quran: The Last Revelation". It's of little consequence as a practical matter.

Trump: (No accounting for taste). I grant he's not Hitler or Jefferson Davis. Even so, his demeanor and policies show that even if disagree he's fascist, he certainly kicked open the door to it. Plus, his cheap demagoguery against the press, his opponents, and promotion of violence (shooting someone on Fifth Avenue, punch him in the face and I'll pay for your legal defense) -- that is definitely promoting and encouraging incivility more blatantly than any president since at least before the Civil War, and certainly in my lifetime. Trump's not simply a president "liberals" don't like. He's a threat to the American way of life.
Caveat: I'm not a Trump fanboy, nor am I a dumpTrump.

I just have to ask - why are liberals wound so tightly they can't take a joke, lighten up, or take something at face value without finding something wrong with it?

It must be a burden to go through life with such heavy, serious views of everything in the world.

You guys find it absolutely impossible to type a sentence without some kind of insult.

See how threads like this start off apparently all "ooh liberals can't take a joke, ho ho ho' then within seconds when the tables are turned it's all Trumpsters being offended and angry once again. Actually the thread started out with a heap of nasty insults towards liberals from a Trumpster.

This thread is hilarious. You guys should look in a mirror.

It’s okay to laugh. Loosen up a little. We live in a free country. Some people will say things you don’t agree with. It won’t hurt you unless you let it hurt you. You are in control. Just ignore it. You’d be surprised at how easy it is to not be offended.

I was raised in the ‘70s and ‘80s. We were taught that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Is that not a thing anymore?

There is no comment about anybody committing violence against anybody for wearing these tshirts. Just people complaining that they're offended about them, which is their right.

Jeez. Talk about triggered.

your problem is that you think that assaulting someone for wearing a MAGA hat, ither tossing a drink on them, stealing their property(the hat in question), getting in their faces and screaming about the hat and DEMANDING that the person remove the hat, etc. is somehow a joke. sorry friend, it isnt. personally i have a serious sense of humor, and i use it all the time. and i can laugh at myself, so much of my humor is self deprecating, can you say the same?



as i have noted, humor is one thing, assault is something else entirely. and yes when people break the law and commit an assault, they ARE IN FACT DIRTBAGS. dont like it? tough.

Not really. Yawn. Never would have known about this at all if I hadn't seen it here. Bored.

Of course he could. That`s where smart people spend thousands of dollars for a piece of burnt toast that looks like Jesus. Fools and their money......

Because they love the victim mentality. They love political divisions and to divide and conquer. There are people who actually spend their free time looking for things to be outraged over. It's actual mental illness. Very sad.
