If they understood it as much as you clearly assume, most probably wouldn’t be bigots… I agree the messaging of the shirt isn’t the worst, nor its packaging, but they’re totally correct about bigots not understanding much.
Conservative media has taught them what to be made about. I’m not saying they understand it. I’m saying they will see the colors and know because they’ve been told to hate those colors.
Nope. You assume those programs inform their audiences. Of anything. They do not. They only stoke fear and judgement, not education. Even of the banal, “know thy enemy” sort. Why get to know your enemy when a boogieman is so much more effective!?
I guarantee you those fucking ghouls are teaching people to be afraid of any flag that’s not the stars and stripes regardless of whether it’s a country flag or regardless of what it stands for.
