    To be fair, I’m not sure I could park some of the emotional support trucks. They are not compatible with urban parking. They are simply too big.

      Yup. Every now and again I’ll have to take my work truck to LA to meet my wife and her family, and I hate it every time.

      True, but one might gently suggest that’s a poor excuse for a retrograde worldview. LOL.

      Had to rent one for a few weeks not long ago. Toxic masculinity insecurity had me worried “they would be better than me” and my “pussy urban ass” couldn’t handle a big truck. Within minutes your brain adjusts and it’s just driving as usual but your ass is further away… which you can see with eyes and mirrors, and account for, way more easily than you’d expect. They also have better backup cameras, sensors, and beeps, than my “nicer” car.

    Needs a sheet of rub-on tattoos with vaguely “I didn’t serve in the military but really want to imply I did” to “outright white supremacist” themes.

    My favourite is that “Three Percenter” design that effectively coopts the design of one of America’s least-successful coins. I sort of want to talk one of their ears off about numismatics and watch their brain smoulder.

    On a road trip through DC and Philly this summer, at the sights, and they make themselves so obvious.

    Like a real Mmmerican, I loudly lecture my kid on liberty, equality, and fighting for others; read every MLK, JFK, FDR, et al, speeches from walls and plaques, in entirety; publicly ranting about perhaps having to fight Nazis to the death if an uprising happens here and we need to defend our country because these colors don’t run, like both sides of our family did last time; while referring to traitors, their cult, and insurrectionists hating our freedoms and they should like it or leave it.

    They wear upside down black and white flag T-shirts and stand around like they’re waiting for their wives outside Sephora, not knowing how to smile in photos.

    I’m still nice to everyone. Because I’m a real American. They are deplorables that should be deported.

      It refers to a 9 line, which is a type of radio comm standard used for casualty evacuation and close air support strikes.

      Making a shirt out of it is a bit strange to me.

        Recruits get hazed in to memorizing the 9 Line in various idiotic ways during basic. Unless you’re in the air force where it’s just strongly encouraged. Regardless, as a result it’s a type of cultural flagstone for service members.

      It’s just a common brand worn exclusively by members of Y’allqaeda. Living in the south I see atleast a dozen of these guys a day.

      I had to look it up. Seems to be a “patriot economy” company named after a military medevac request.

      A t-shirt printing company for people that want you to know they’re a veteran, related to a vet, or are just general bootlickers. 95% of the vehicles they drive have at last 2 bumper stickers/window decals from them, “we the people”, gadsden flag, fjb, lets go brandon, back the blue/thin blue line…
