There's actually stories of these things taking on 6 lions at once.. They are so tough they will eat the bones and teeth of their prey..

They are good dads and take care of their kids

they are also half extreme physicality and half determination

They can smell commies 20 ft under the snow too

The lions bit, not really sure if it's the same one we're talking about. I think you're thinking of the Honey Badger, basically the African wolverine. Same gist though.

The rest, I totally forgot to add, and you're 100% correct! They eat the entire prey, and they have insane senses.

Bonus points: they emit an area-of-denial odor that stuns opponents that get too close! (true of wolverines and Honey Badgers, I believe)

I personally admire the wild turkey because it's a native bird and it's very aggressive.

True. A little over 2 years ago one flew into my wife's Jeep while she drove down the interstate. Aggressive fucker racked up a $5k repair bill when it was all said and done. He ded.

Ben Franklin was, IMO, the greatest of the Founding Fathers, but the problem with the turkey is that, while it's aggressive, it's also not the brightest. Not as bad as geese, but between that and us regularly eating the Turkey at Thanksgiving, I don't think it has the same kind of branding.

Also, are Turkeys omnivorous, or just herbivores? IMO we want an animal not afraid to eat meat!

I love the snek but the snek is already taken by the Libertarians. I tend to lean strongly towards the libertarians, but simultaneously, imagine if all them had voted for trump instead of their party candidates? (I know, they'd have just rigged it more, but regardless, the harder we make it to rig the better, right?)

Libertarian mascot is the hedgehog actually, not snek.

Really?

The more you know!

Regardless, snek is commonly associated with them so I don't think it's ideal.

The libertarian party is, was, and always will be a joke. If we want to slept they snake, then we by god take it IMO. Just one dude’s opinion.

Wolverine is badass but still prefer lion.

Based animal. If only it said the following: https://youtu.be/Vv_L9FfBJ-g

Got any other links? For whatever reason, can't view it. Maybe cause I don't have Facebook?

Lions are great and all, but they aren't American, and they have a history of representing royalty - I love Trump too, but we ARE a Republic.

Lions are near the top of their food chain, but they aren't invincible. They can also be cowards. Enter the search for the American animal to represent our movement.

Some have suggested Eagles, but that's our Country's emblem already, making it a party emblem is redundant and just doesn't feel right.

We are the America First movement; we are ferocious and are not afraid to fight above our weight class if need be. We prefer to be left alone, but will do what is necessary.

That is exactly like a Wolverine.

Wolverines are actually a super animal. Some escapades:

  • Reported to have solo-killed a Polar Bear, one of the most significant apex predators on the planet
  • Don't go around mountains, just go over them
  • Fast
  • Prefer to scavenge, but can hunt as needed
  • Armed to the teeth (literally!)
  • Basically waterproof

The things are the definition of ferocity!

Grizzley's are great, but they're already the animal on California's flag (I believe it's a Grizzley at least?).

Bears share a lot in common with the Wolverine, but they tend to lack the tenacity (unless defending their young). They can often be scared, and IIRC the dads are mediocre at the whole childcare thing (leaving after like the first year, considering children prey after that or something).

+1 for Wolverine as new (not republican) party mascot.

If we're going contiguous states, I would have to say Grizzly bear would take the prize mostest baddest animal

I mean, this bad mutha is 600 lbs! No disrespect, but even a lion would have trouble
