Teenagers wearing MAGA hats in the airport

It’s against the Flag Code to wear a rebel flag as a bathing suit?

No, it is against the Flag Code to wear the flag of the United States as a bathing suit. As I said, the Flag Code is not enforceable, but is still a good guideline for showing respect.

I would disapprove of using the US flag in such a manner, and if I had respect for the rebel flag, I would disapprove of it being used in that manner as well.

As is, I find it amusing that they show support for their cause by wrapping its symbol over their ass.

I feel that these teens are wearing it because they are stupid and hope people get mad and bitch about them, maybe on a message board.

Trollers gotta troll, yo. But here we are, having an amusing and productive conversation about the history of revolutionary governments, what their symbols mean to different groups of people, and how those are used to inspire or shock others.

So, did they succeed in their goal?

IMHO, they were looking to be the next Covington Catholic High

I once saw a t-shirt with Andrew Sachs’ Manuel from Fawlty Towers in Che Guevara pose and beret and “QUE?” written underneath. I want one of those, but I think the person made it themselves.

@k9bfriender

I don’t think that I would, but I’d be tempted to out troll them.

“Yeah! MAGA! Let’s build that wall and keep those [depending on how committed you are, insert ethnic slur here]'s out. Shoot them in the head if they try to get in!”

I could go on, but channeling MAGAts hurts my brain. Just go to any Fox News story and write down some of the comments on an index card for reference if you ever need it.

I get your point, but that would itself qualify as “being obnoxious”.

Airports are annoying enough on their own without getting all up in people’s grills about trivial shit.*

• I am totally down with the kids’ lingo.

The Onion used to sell a t-shirt featuring that iconic Che image. It was Che wearing a Che t-shirt.

Was the Che on the t-shirt wearing a Che wearing a Che wearing a t-shirt? (Droste effect?)

I agree, which is why I said I would be tempted, but also said I wouldn’t actually do it. If nothing else, I don’t think I could channel a MAGAt in real life with a straight face for any time.

No, he was wearing a MAGA cap.

Not really

I too find that amusing.

@VinylTurnip

Making them mad how? By disrespectfully wearing the hats backwards?

You don’t actually know what a “Boomer” is, do you?

There are plenty of Clinton Boomers. These are the only people who could conceivably be angered by teenagers wearing Trump hats.

BWI is rotten with Clinton Boomers.

Do you work at being a moron, or does it come naturally?

Whoa whoa whoa… I’m not going to let you stand there and insult a member of the Greatest Generation born during the Carter Administration in such a way!

A true prodigy who, at the tender age of six, was invited to showcase his moronism at the Imperial Court in Vienna.

Damn near drowned trying to walk there. Fortunately for him his head was buoyant.

I’m not sure how far down it went. IIRC 2 levels deep.

Here it is!

Hell, when I was between the ages of 18-24, I would ware para jumper cameo pants, Clash t shirts or homemade T shirts with Terrorized the Rich on the front. Just for effect. Of course I knew everything back then.

[QuickSilver]

…Cameo pants? :eek:

[Ludovic]

Word up.

That’s when your pants make a brief appearance.

Brief appearance… like the pants worn to show your underwear? Could be worse I guess.

So, underwear?

@steronz

Like, way too young to vote, not an election year… Is there any reason for them to be wearing those hats that doesn’t make them complete douchebags?

I think its hilarious, I can almost see someone Tommy Chongs age screaming this is what we fought for, lol.

Calm thy tits, couple of years ago people were disgusted by someones named Snookie and The Situation. 2024, this too shall pass.
