Is anybody up on right wing code "stuff" ... is 1/up arrow just another way of writing 1/6?

My son's wife step father wears a shirt with a very subtle blue lives flag on one sleeve and then on
the other sleeve he has some lettering and a 1/^ on it. I think the ^ symbol is a substitute
for the # 6 because the up arrow ( ^ ) is what you get when you shift to upper case for the # 6
on the keyboard. Both he and his wife are big time Trumpers.

If they go to the extremes of "hidden" RW? MAGA? symbols on their clothing, that would creep me out and I would want to keep a wide berth.

best not to bring politics up around them. Shame our Country has so many people that will hate
other people simply because we vote Democrat.

... to somebody that is liberal or a democrat or a teacher or is trans or is not white and in
their being closed off "to the others" they are the real Americans who value freedom and liberty.
Sadly, in some cases after years of brain washing from hate talk radio, tv, & web sites along
with the family, friends, and pastors their brains are cooked to the point that only the dirt
nap will stop their neurons from firing and certain pleasure giving chemicals being released
when they see the no good shits on Fox spreading lies. To them we are the enemy

People in my solid red town have all kinds of automatic replies/remarks to anything even remotely political.
If Biden got the Ukraine/Russia war to end tomorrow, they would have something negative to say about it.

... finest moments in American history to see my President after going wheels up @ 4 AM Sunday
and then flying and taking a train to meet Vlod Zelenskyy Monday morning @ sunrise and he can

My daughter-in-law's parents are Trumpers. I told my husband that when we're visiting and both families are there that he is forbidden to talk politics. The in-laws are well aware that I was the chair of the democratic committee for my town.

there was a book read in class called "The Secret Hideout." Then a sequel, "Enemies of the Secret Hideout." i loved it, built my own hideout, created treasure hunts and secret codes.

i outgrew this in elementarty schools. Today's Republicans never did.

Movie. Internet meme. Scads of t-shirts with some sort of thing on one, but permutations on 7-up and the occasional "One" + up-arrow.

Have trouble DDGing "one up arrow" because Arrow shirts floods the field.

The Q mantra starts with reference to "one".
The "^" simple is shorthand for "to the power of".
Is there a link between "one" & "power"? Like I said, wild guess.
