I found one of those stickers on a shipping container in the middle of a forest. The BLM guys I was with don't even know how the shipping container got there, much less who put a giant sticker on it.
I had to come back to your comment before I could make sense of it because I'm not an American and I was like "Huh... they were hanging out with a Black Lives Matter group in the middle of a forest? Weird flex but okay."
Then it finally clicked for me.
Bureau of Land Management. I made the same oopsy several times, in public too so it was extra funnies for me.
I had a big ol stack of those in my car because I was peeling them off the local gas pumps because I thought it was extra shitty that CHUDs were vandalizing the pumps and workers only making $10/hr had to deal with it. The way I figure, I'm just standing there while the tank fills, I could help a worker.

Good work!
This was such a shitty trend but I'm having fun applying it to things that Biden has actually done because I kinda want to fuel the conspiracy theories in the wider fediverse that we're clandestine MAGAheads because we're criticising Biden and we're using Trumper symbolism to do it so... obviously we're the same picture.
I guess I'm playing to meta-irony here because those people who make these claims about Hexbear have nothing to base them on but vibes and I lowkey think that's hilarious; they see progressives being criticised, and sometimes for the same reasons that reactionaries criticise them, so they instantly jump to the "must be a Trump supporter" conclusion because it feels the same to them. Blue MAGA outrage gives me life.
I do think it has some great meme potential. When an article about a band I like came out saying they were breaking up, I made an "I did that" meme for it and put it in a Facebook group where "we all act like boomers".
It's like my Calvin peeing on 9/11 bumper sticker idea I've always had.
Is he peeing on the memory of 9/11? Is he peeing on the fact that it happened? It's up to the viewer to decide
