My only suggestion would be, respectfully, to spell it “Russian” instead of Russan. I’d buy that window sign from you!

Claude Taylor has a twitter account @truefactstated or something to that effect.

Nice work. I may be designing graphic messaging in the near future for billboards and other media and passing them around. The campaigns are gearing up.

I like the magnetic plagues, so I can put it on the car when I drive. (i don't want my wife getting into it with some dRupfski.)

Not long ago I posted a similar sentiment here on DU. I was subsequently pelted with rocks and garbage, and taken to the woodshed, for daring to suggest that liberals would NEVER EVER EVER SPEAK OR READ OR UNDERSTAND RUSSIAN.

Of course that's not what I intended, and not what you intend either. Just a friendly warning to keep an eye out for flying rocks and garbage.

This may have been what you meant, but as I recall the wording implied something else.

Stop using the current Russian flag to label Trump and Republicans with and start using the red Soviet Union flag. The red, white, and blue Russian flag resembles U.S. colors too much and is confusing to older right wingers. That red Soviet Union flag will invoke an instant negative reaction from the older people and is closer to what Vlad is really all about.

when Russian flags were passed out as a prank to attendees at CPAC last year. They took them and waved them, hilarious.

They are only the radicalized right wingers who run with anything that enriches them. They are not the average population that would feel shame among their peers for losing their minds.

It's hard for the average population to keep claiming they defeated the Soviet Union when they see their leaders enshrined in the red Soviet Union flag. That flag invokes a reaction from the average population that years of training already instilled.

I'm trying not to be blunt, but this is how the Republicans win, because they do use what they know about authoritarian subtleties that have existed in the United States. All I am saying is tweak it to make them trip on themselves.

Good you fill out the thought for others though.

I simply wanted to mention the prank and how they pulled it off.
Great prank.
