Pene is probably one of the unstables that the aggy thinks don’t exist. 

Don't be obtuse. Of course they exist. But you know you're full of shit trying to pretend like the numbers are remotely comparable.

Go to any airport in America and count how many people feel the need to wear apparel that makes a political statement. Tell me what you see.

How many cars feel the need to tell you their thoughts on Brandon or the liberal media. 

Left wing signaling is much less widespread and usually non-offensive and generic as fuck. Your favorite 'In this House...' signs, for example.

But, if anyone is going to completely ignore and blow by any and all social cues to deliver a political rant, Vegas wouldn't even let you place a bet on who it would be because the odds are so lopsided.

2026 theme - oligarchs

trump > elon > karp > bezos > zuck

2027 theme - tyranny

trump > putin > xi

Make it an annual tradition. The anticipation of the yearly theme will be palpable.

This post reflects strong measures of selection and perception bias with your baked in political perspective. And that's OK. I've been in lots of airports from central to east coast over the last few months and can't honestly recall noting an imbalance in political attire. I currently live in probably the trumpiest Austin ex-burb. I previously lived in a decidedly liberal enclave of Austin (there were moms literally balling their eyes out in the elementary school hallway on the morning after the election in 2016). Shocking that there are different distributions of political messaging and signaling in those environments. You see people blowing past social cues in one situation or the other based on your perceptions. It's human nature.

Here is an interesting analysis from CATO dated to 2020. Their analysis suggests that extreme liberals are most vocal while moderates and conservatives have been conditioned in the current political environment to keep things closer to the vest. Now, I guess, back to the discussion of ways for liberals to tweak their politically divergent family members at Christmas.

That makes a false assumption that "extreme liberal" views and conservative views are relatively equal in societal impact.  I don't need a 'Breaking News' chyron to tell me that more people are comfortable saying "the environment is dying and money should be spread more equally among everyone" than are comfortable saying "black people, gays, women, and immigrants, get just too much favorable treatment in this country and we should craft the laws to restrict that".

Back on track, is your BIL a sleepy old fellow who has trouble staying awake?  Maybe these would be a good gift.:

You do realize that most of us use this forum as an outlet to say the shit that we can't in real life--because of being members of polite society, family obligations, not being anti-social psychopaths, etc.--right? Only, like, 30% of us are going to take a shit in a box and send it to our conspiracy-riddled uncle. 40% tops.

But, sure, man, keep pretending that there's a liberal equivalent to dude bros proudly displaying WWG1WGA, 3%, and other militia and white nationalist movement paraphernalia and bumper stickers. 

Or a parallel to the giant ass Fuck Biden flags at every camping trip and lake I've been on for 5 years.

Or year-round roadside MAGA apparel tents.

They absolutely cannot help themselves.

All of us work or associate with people just itching to squeeze transsexuals and DEI into completely unrelated conversations. Maybe I am sheltered from left wing extremism in [checks notes] Southern California, but I don't recall the last time a universal healthcare (as if that's even comparable) discussion came out of nowhere.

Dumber people and those drawn to conspiracies having poor impulse control and a lack of social etiquette isn't exactly breaking news.

I'd like to go to my cousin's farm and take their tractor and rip up the wheelchair ramp his mother-in-law uses because fuck DEI.

I guar-an-fucking-tee that he has never once associated DEI with his MIL having wheelchair ramps pretty much everywhere they go.

We are doing the gift exchange, and a few weeks ago, a cousin asked what I was interested in, and I said pick a shirt from this site with an animal and a weapon and I'll be happy (it's the kind of clothing that @Brisketexan or @RDCanecutter or @Ghost of LL might buy for themselves):

Japanese Art | menweary.com

Something tasteful like one of these

eb75dfbd0b003758bcc62e0157d0c9d2_540x.jp

But it sounds like I'll probably end up with something like this

Right. I'll take more of those histrionics and way less young moms and dads thoroughly convinced that teachers are trying to turn their kids trans, and the state can perform operations on them without parental consent.

Yep I'd be a cat on a dinosaur man myself. Did a whole series of Ape cowboys on dinosaurs, will see if I can scare up a link.

Meanwhile Mrs. Canecutter bought me a half-dozen batique Hawaian shirts that I could wear every day and sometimes do. No images printed on them, but the "Fuck your TPS reports" is understood.
