    Hm, are you using that to mock the Gadsden flag in general [1], or are you using that to poke fun at the, imo, “cognitive-dissonant” mixture of the MAGA symbol and the Gadsden flag?

      It’s sad but that flag has lost its original meaning as a revolutionary symbol and has been fully co-opted by libertarians. So really, making fun of it in general is fine because libertarians are wackos. But especially with a Trump sticker, it’s clear they don’t understand at least one of the philosophies they stuck on their car.

        […] that flag has lost its original meaning as a revolutionary symbol and has been fully co-opted by libertarians. […]

        Now that’s an interesting take! Why do you think that its symbolism doesn’t align with libertarianism (I assume that’s what you meant when you said “co-opted by libertarians”)?
