Please help, I’m looking for good places to wear this shirt and spread the message that America is free because of the sacrifices of our Veterans.

    I’m not american, but that shirt just shouts MAGA. Nothing on it says anything about veterans. Its just generic overtly patriotic imagery.

        Okay, didn’t know that. How does that tie into veterans?

          comes across to me knowing the context that this is a little tonge in cheek (err… poking fun at) MAGA, and their performative affirmation of veterans, knowing that this shirt was involved in charlie kirk’s shooting, and their removal of american freedoms. its like a little cloud of pointed irony.

            I think thats a bit too layered/inside joke, i think it’ll miss its mark? At best, its an anti-kirk/maga tshirt if it gets recognised, at worst, generic MAGA shirt. They aren’t smart people, they won’t get subtlety.

              i mean it’s a generic patriotism shirt. usually innocuous. maga just rides its iconography to associate themselves

                Genuine question, given you are a bit closer to it, but it the generic patriotism not essentially synonymous with MAGA at this point?

                I have no idea how blue patriotism manifests itself :/

                  to there are still plenty (probly most) of people who still hold super pride for the USA. you hear all lot from the blow hards, but there is also a distressing amount of people who don’t pay any attention to politics at all. they just vote for whatever party their father did

                  left pride is more attached to their cause of choice, pride flags being first to mind.

    As a DAV, please don’t. It’s no better than soccer moms driving around with matte black American flags all over their 4Runner or Wrangler. You are swaying absolutely nobody.

    If you want to help the DAV out there, donate to the community, give some time to the VA hospitals or retirement homes, help those that have fallen on hard times. Simply wearing a shirt in a particular location will make not the tiniest bit of difference in any of our lives.
