"SNIP.........
On Tuesday, the co-anchor of Saturday Night Lives Weekend Update posted a message on Instagram that read, ya kno... a lot of people are not drinking bud light, cause the company used a trans person in their ad.. and these mostly right wing bud light customers have tossed all their bud lights in the trash in a blind rage.. and it got me tathinkin.. just hear me out..
On the next slide, Che concluded the thought with, what if we got trans people.. hear me out.. to do ads for guns..?
Over the past couple of days, after Bud Light partnered with trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney for an online promotion, conservatives have been publicly denouncing the beer companyand in the case of Kid Rock, firing a high-powered rifle at some cans on video. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) made a critical error when he tried to #boycottbudlight but ended up posting a video of his refrigerator that contained a beer also made by Bud Lights parent company, Anheuser-Busch.
Ches post, meanwhile, received enthusiastic praise from celebrities like comedian Patton Oswalt and The Roots bandleader Questlove, as well as trans pop star Kim Petras.
Did you just end gun crimes? one follower wrote in response. I think so.

They should use the Yellow Gadsden Flag for everything, then the MAGAts won't ever fly them again.
Fly the III percent flags too. Down South, make the Confederate Flag their symbol of tolerance.
Co-opt everything MAGA related.

(36,876 posts)'Every black man should buy an AR-15.'
I can't find the exact quote or who said it... from several years back.

Well, she didn't exactly say AR-15, because they didn't exist in her time, though she did advocate getting a 'weapon of war' for protection.... https://searchblackandeducation.com/stories/2020/10/2/self-help-her-words-of-wisdom
Of the many inhuman outrages of this present year, the only case where the proposed lynching did not occur, was where the men armed themselves in Jacksonville, Fla., and Paducah, Ky, and prevented it. The only times an Afro-American who was assaulted got away has been when he had a gun and used it in self-defense.
The lesson this teaches and which every Afro-American should ponder well, is that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give. When the white man who is always the aggressor knows he runs as great risk of biting the dust every time his Afro-American victim does, he will have greater respect for Afro-American life. The more the Afro-American yields and cringes and begs, the more he has to do so, the more he is insulted, outraged and lynched.

Have her walk off holding a baby and meet her lesbian partner at the car. Safely put the baby in a proper car seat and they drive off into the sunset.

Grokenstein
(5,727 posts)Ishida, contrarian author of the webcomic Sinfest, has wandered the political map over the years, from sexist/racist edgelord to (phony) feminist to violence-advocating man-hater. These days he's a full-blown MAGAt, conspiracy nut, Kanye worshipper and Nazi defender whose favorite subject is the depiction of trans people as grotesque monsters out to harm children, subjugate society at large, and murder all who oppose them. The sick bastard is already portraying transitioning folk (or rather, ridiculous caricatures thereof) kicking down the doors of churches with assault rifles in hand.
Who knows how he's going to respond to this? It's sure to be the worst possible take.
