    As someone who plays the musical instrument called “trumpet”, I ask- no, I beg of you, PLEASE do not use my musical instrument to describe fascists.

        Personally I always go with either “Trump-supporter” or “Fascist”, I think giving them a silly name ultimately only serves to dehumanize which doesnt help unless your goal is violence.

        i will admit that calling them “weirdos” feels very cathartic for me, but tbh I think of most of the ones who aren’t in power as just being really brainwashed, so it feels a little sad to resort to name calling. better to just do what you can to deprogram or cut ties and move on. sorry if that makes me kind of a stick in the mud for memes 😅

      I’m much more in favor of never using his name just for the sole reason that he loves to see his name everywhere. plus we already have a word for his supporters; it’s hogs.

      Time for a new name for your loud extendable flute, what about lextaf and plugging it into daily conversation?

      “Hello sir, I’m playing lextaf, are you playing lextaf? Let us lextafeers lextaf with our lextafs and forget about our current political headaches.”
