As it should. This makes it seem less disgusting.

If you think about it a little, it's morbid and weird. If you think about it a little more, it's just about on par (maybe slightly less?) on the weird scale with wearing the torture and execution device of the guy you worship on a chain around your neck.

If you think about it a lot, it's totally fucking weird.

I'm outraged because it's a recreation and isn't even the actual tent! If I'm gonna get my picture taken I want the real tent with blood spurts and all. It's not even worth putting my blood makeup on my neck if it's only a fake tent.

They don't even have any respect for their own.

I really wish that TPUSA would just fade into obscurity, but I guess Erika is getting fat checks from Republicans now. She sure has been on a media warpath.

I heard MAGAts are placing miniature replicas of the Charlie Kirk death tent in front of their Christmas trees instead of nativities.

The previous baby in front of the tree was too woke

Toilet Paper USA?

Always has been

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

At least toilet paper is good at wiping away shit

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 hours ago

Whereas TP USA is only producing more of it.

That is literally the name of the subreddit dedicated to dunking on them. Or at least was. Wouldn't be surprised if they nuked it by now, way things are over there

Yup, those are the letters they chose to self-apply. Like when our IT department tried to rebrand as Technology & Innovation, but then realised they could never again refer to the Technology & Innovation Team 😁

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Naa that would have been on purpose.

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 6 points 6 hours ago

But did they have a poster for their Cyber Security Awareness Month?

Well I'm disappointed. It could've been a family event where you pay $5 and your kid pull the trigger of the rifle that shoots another MAGA influencer in the neck. Pay $15 for a photo of the moment the bullet hits

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If they'd do it, the target would be some famous lgbtq+ antifa leftist, e.g. Obama, Biden, or, on bad days, someone like MTG.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Sure whatever. Paint the target in black face, old face, or leather bitch face if you have to.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 7 points 12 hours ago

That’s the MAGA version the dunk tank

Recreational activities are fun.
