Yet Another New Low
Trumpists and other mouthbreathers get a huge charge our of “owning the libs”, complaining that not being a flaming asshole is somehow the new pejoratives “woke” or “virtue signaling”, which, joining “cancel culture” are all of the new talking points being used in rapid fire by everyone from Fled Cruz to some knuckle draggers still flying Trump flags on his jacked up 2 MPG pick-’em-up truck. The point is not advocating for a certain political policy; the point is all about being a dick to strangers with cruelty as the objective. The latest, though, sinks below most of the Trumpian insults and whining. This one is comparing mask requirements and vaccinations as being equivalent to the holocaust where Nazis 
imprisoned, tortured, enslaved, and killed millions of Jews in Europe. Over 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust along with other undesirables including Gypsies and other eastern Europeans. The Jews in Nazi controlled Europe were required to wear a star of David patch to identify what level of undesirable they were. The most well known was the yellow star of David.
The geniuses at Nashville hat shop HatWrks thought it would be a really good idea to “own the libs” by selling a replica patch that didn’t say “Jude” but “Not Vaccinated”. The store’s Instagram account had been known for posting conspiracy theories and nonsense about t
he pandemic, so, living in their echo chamber, it’s not surprising that they thought there little patch would sell like hotcakes. It didn’t go well. They were blasted online and in protests in front of their store. Then, Stetson came calling, cancelling their wholesale arrangement with the store saying that they didn’t support hate. BTW, Stetson is the largest hat maker in the world, selling over 3 million hats a year. That’s going to leave a mark.
So, I guess HatWrks “owned the libs” by shooting themselves in the foot. I’m sure they were shocked to find that normal people don’t like bigots and hateful people, especially when it spills out into the street in front of their place business. But hey, I’m sure Trump loves it.
I guess these crap-tossing monkey don’t realize that a vast percentage of America finds Nazi ideology and actions offensive.
Little note here: if you endorse and/or use Nazi symbols, you self-identify as a Nazi.
1If it weren’t for the Nazi symbolism, I’d say wear your efing badge of stupidity because it will help retailers police mask wearing.
2The picture of this hate entrepreneur will be just dandy in her obituary.
Step up Basterds! Then you can try sales with a carved swastika on your foreheads and a new store brand… ~ Lunkheads ~
‘Inglourious Basterds ends with Aldo Raine carving a swastika on Hans Landa’s forehead, calling it his “masterpiece” – and here’s what that really means. Quentin Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career, and in 2009, he tried something new with Inglourious Basterds, which told an alternate version of history,’

3“… so, living in their echo chamber…”
Their echo chamber certainly can’t in any way be compared to Nazi gas chambers – – but it did take whatever shred of decency and intelligence they once may have had.
4The next step in the MAGA playbook is to start up a GoFundMe site, claiming. to be. a victim of woke cancel culture Antifa cultural Marxists.
At some point, the far right wingnut pool of folks with more money than brains may become drained of funds…
On a side note, the damage to the USA caused by the Reagan Presidency cannot be overstated. Reagan’s deregulation craze led to both the S&L crisis, then (with help from the Clinton Administration), the 2008 Great Recession.
5Don’t ever think that the MAGAoty TrumpenRats can’t go any lower, they can always move the bottom of the cesspit deeper.

Meanwhile, the Israeli homegrown semi-Nazi PM Bibi Netanyahu is finally getting shitcanned by a coalition of opposition parties after a series of deadlocked elections. Which I find interesting given the current ongoing I/P conflict/war.

6RepubAnon @5, RE: the ‘Reagan Presidency’:
7You left out a few minor things [a very partial list]:
Massive National Debt, the dinero often loaned to us by our enemies;
facilitating the rapid and massive rise of Chinese economic, political, and military power;
various pointless, extremely expensive unnecessary wars;
systemic racism, jingoism, and xenophobia to the max;
an escalated and incredibly stupid so-called ‘War on Drugs’;
massive corruption and internal surveillance schemes;
discarding decades of beneficial protections and regulations on behalf of all citizens;
degrading the quality of life for millions of disabled and disadvantaged people;
kick-starting today’s Nazification of the GQP;
et alia ad infinitum…
I’m surprised mt greene doesn’t have one of these nazi symbols with the not getting vaccinated slogan. It fits her perfectly.
8Jewish space lasers were almost comical because they were so outlandish; yellow stars – not funny at all, ever! And RepubAnon#5, Reagan also started taxing Social Security, no wonder the GOP revere him!
9The consequences of systemic ignorance of significant history.
She may actually go out of business over this. Whether she does or not she will proclaim herself as the victim of “hate” from “the left.”
10I think what pisses me off the most is that smug look they have when they’re at their stupidest and most insulting.
11#6 : the deregulation mess started with Jimmy Carter. Remember?
The poor airline passengers need cheaper tickets. The tickets would have gotten cheaper anyway, with cheaper jet fuel, more productive jet airplane designs, etc. The stage was set for St Ronnie’s performance.
Jimmy was a nice guy, but pteciusly few of his initiatives survived.

Now the Hatwrks owner is trying to apologize and let everyone know “She’s really not like that” on twitter. She was in DC on 1/6 taking photos of the insurrection. I hope she loses her business and gets arrested by the FBI.

Trump Org Was ‘Rotten To Its Core’ Says Deputy Assistant AG
EDIT: Harry Litman, former deputy assistant attorney general, explains the charges under the New York law, “little RICO”, that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance could be considering against Donald Trump’s businesses.

Sandridge, my sister, an IT director at a non-profit, attends her share of security meetings. At one, the speaker stated: When you buy an Apple notebook, you are the customer and what appears on your screen (apps, ads, etc) is the product. When you buy a Chromebook, you are the product and everything you see is the customer. (Apple household since 1986- still have the original)
15Didn’t the Reagan years bring de-regulation along with union-busting? The big slogan was right to work. He broke the air traffic controllers union.
16Prize to hear the Tennessee GOP control legislature pass a bill penalizing Stetson for infringing on the hat shop’s “freedumb”.
17“I wouldn’t be surprised…”
18lazrgrl @15, The former supposed ‘purity’ of Apple stuff has eroded over time. The Apple ecosystem is now little different from the Microsoft and Google ones as far as security issues. Maybe better with intrusivity and advertising, for now.
I’ve used my kids Apples before, nice; but I personally would never pay that very steep Apple price premium for the perceived prestige.
The sentiment is valid though. Ain’t no such thing as a ;free app’, you indeed become the product [just look at the unnecessary ‘permissions’ that you must allow with most apps].
I recently snagged a good deal on some great smartphones, very nice mid-rangers, for a very low price [carrier deal on LG phones, LG is exiting phones]. Cleaned them thoroughly, but am still getting a small ‘news-info’ popup bar on the homescreen, which is driving me nuts trying to eliminate it [I think they come from some LG thingy, I’ll kill it yet].
As far as Google, I avoid anything Google like the plague as best I can. Have never ever used the Chrome browser, nor almost any other Google software.
19I only have Android phones and tabs, but when they come out of the box, I sanitize and disinfect them as best I can to remove ‘the Goog’ and tons of other junk before using [started in what is now ‘IT’/ ‘puters in the late 1960’s, so know a bit about it].
J7915 @12, Yes, President Carter was a waaay too nice guy. Let us hope that lesson gets through to President Biden.
Jimmy Carter got torpedoed by a number of bad actors who read his ‘niceness’ as weakness [see what I did there: submariner torpedoed …].
There is precious little room for an imaginary ‘bipartisanship’ when you’re dealing with sworn enemies.
20Be nice briefly, Biden, then dismember them.
