All he does is tell them what it represents, and that is enough.

if they like mealworms, then i bet they'll like brainworms even more
Would be great if he could train woodpeckers to attack MAGA.
He should train it to shit on their heads too
You know, he answers that in detail. One, he doesn't know how to train them to poop. And two, he doesn't want to be a poop trainer.
i read somewhere that birds cant control it
Some birds do use poop as a defense. So at least some can to some degree control it.
Eh, something like that could be a fear-induced reflex. Even some people may wet/soil themselves in fright.
Oddly enough, that would mean that given the impulses of "fight or flight," an animal that can literally fly will crap itself instead.
I know for fact there are birds that can weaponize poop. Seaguls are one of them. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Better not be a fan of any red flavored sports teams in that town, somehow I doubt the crows can read.
You know, I had a bright red baseball hat that I used to love. I stopped wearing it a little over a decade ago, because at least two people thought it was a MAGA hat and I didn’t want to get dragged into more conversations with MAGAts or alienate people who are now being targeted by the regime.
That’s unfortunate, but it happens and I bet I’m not the only one who stopped wearing red hats.
I also have a red/white hat that looks absolutely nothing like a maga hat, and I also stopped wearing it after a dude laughed and told me "man I thought you were wearing a trump hat I was about to kick your ass" (as if that was comforting lmao), so I understand the sentiment.
But also there's still a bunch of sports teams that do use red fabric as well, red fabric isn't exclusive to trump, and imo we should all learn to read instead of needing to avoid red fabric like a crip. It's really not that hard to tell a maga guy from some swiftie that bought "one of those Travis Kelce sports hats" tbh, just read the dang hat, y'know?
we should all learn to read
In fairness, we might have avoided some of this fascism if we had. heh
I mean, the swastika was used in a very positive way for millennia, and from a design perspective it's just a great symbol.
If we can give up the swastika, we can give up red baseball caps.

It still is. Eastern societies didn't dump an ancient symbol of good luck just because of the nazis.

Though they're not exactly the same; the nazi version is diagonal, with the corners on the points of the compass, while the eastern version sits flat.

All too often we let the assholes ruin good things.
Eastern societies are not western societies, I was speaking about western societies. Nazi Germany was a much greater influence in the west, the east was more dominated by Imperial Japan. The atrocities they faced weren't associated with the swastika, so they didn't really have a reason to give it up. The atrocities they faced were associated with the Rising Sun flag, which is stigmatized throughout Asia.
It's not really that we let the assholes ruin good things, it's just that they did. We can try to pretend they didn't, but then we just look like a Shcrödinger's Asshole blowing dog whistles. It's not true, it's not fair, but it is what it is.
If we can give up the swastika
Well, who's this "we" you're talking about, then? Seems like the only people in the west who need to "give up the swastika" are nazis.
But I certainly don't get bent out of shape when I see the eastern version in a western setting, such as in the various decorations of immigrants from the east. I was mainly saying that we shouldn't expect folks from the east to abandon their version because of what the nazi version represents.
By "we" I am referring to the west. People who live in places with a history of significant Nazi influence, where the symbol is most strongly associated with Nazis, where anything sufficiently close to that symbol arouses the possibility that Nazis are being endorsed. I also don't have a problem with the symbol itself when used in other contexts, but that one dominant context makes it pretty suspicious in the general western population. So it goes.
Join the crips: for all your gang warfare needs! Then you can shoot at anyone wearing red for any reason and not be "crazy" just "crips be crippin'."
Cincinnati Reds fans are bummed. Wait, they're from Ohio. They're probably into it.
I wonder what fred durst wears these days.
Fred hats?
It looks like he wears mostly black and white hats now lol.
His IMDb pic is a white hat. Pretty sure you have agency over what pic IMDb uses.
I've been torn. I have almost a dozen greek fisherman hats in various colours, including red. I often won't wear it, but I can't part with it. I do still wear it sometimes, but I am prepared for any jackass to pipe up and say something stupid to me assuming I'm on their side so I can shut them the fuck up.
But I don't wear it much because I don't want folks on my side to assume I'm a fascist.
This timeline sucks, even if this is the tiniest reason it sucks.
I've also been looking for a pin to put on it that would help make things clear, but money's tight so I just choose not to wear it except sometimes when I go to dialysis where people already know my politics. lol
God they really have been around for that long.....
I just had the opposite thought the other day. I've always thought blue works better with my face. However er I may start wearing a red hat on the principal that those fuckers don't get the color red! Decolonize the color wheel, live free!!!!
They do sell red hats that say "fuck trump" and such
I've seen these:
Niners fan here, I volunteer to operate the guillotine
Might as well make all sports teams change colors then since we've become bulls who can't stand the sight of red shit. I still say that humans should be able to read the difference from "maga" and "49ers" but of course that's from my high pedestal of literacy, curse you Sesame Street!
what about the enterprises that use Red Hat Enterprise Linux
I actually have a red RHEL hat. I haven't been able to wear it for 10 years now
I haven’t been able to wear it for 10 years now
i assume because connotations of a red cap? wouldn't a red Red Hat hat be a fedora though? like in their logo?
Yes, because of the connotations. It's just a red baseball hat with the red hat logo. Got it at a conference in like 2014.
RIP 😞
Chaotic good druids are the best.
Or rangers, as these are probably animal companions rather than wildshaped druids.
Not all heroes wear capes, friends.
As a lifelong 49ers fan I both approve of this and have an extra bit of spite in my heart for the red hat maga assholes.
I'll be pretty upset if I hear about crow being killed by maga fuckwits.
Hero.
