Co-opting their symbols and culture is unironically a powerful move that more leftists need to be using imo.

I believe in gun control but I pack appendix carry and have a 0.8 second draw. Too many lunatics are allowed to own guns these days.

Paint it rainbow and support the gays openly and loudly.

I'm sure this felt empowering, but I would advise against riding the Pride Kavalry into town regardless, especially considering they hate more than the q u e e r s

Well, it wouldn't have been the symbol I would have chosen to co-opt, but that's what you went with so I gave you an idea for how to do it. Personally I would start with something a little tamer if I were you.

Alternatively, one might note most conservative symbols carry a broad array of bigoted meanings and it's usually easier and more satisfying to smash them instead.
