Even a small pin, patch or clip. If it’s not this than we have to develop a version gaydar, like patriodar.

That's too obvious. How about a yellow star? More subtle.

Or maybe a red letter of some kind? Like “M,” for “MAGA?”

Maybe we should all get our TDW username tattooed on the inside of our forearm.

This made me laugh... but damnit, he should have considered the consequences of associating with a group of domestic terrorist cyber criminals, AMIRITE? AMIRITE?

See, this worries me, because then it's too easy for non-patriots to wear a flag as a disguise. Every member of Congress wears one of those flag pins. It needs to be like a tattoo or something. But on the back of the hand, so we can see it.

Commies and antifa wouldn't be caught DEAD with a flag on their body. It's literal kryptonite to them.

How about tattooing numbers on our arms? That seems like a great idea! /s

or on a forehead, so we could be denied a job or buying food.

Images and symbols can be copied. That's why a shibboleth is used.

What's a concept that patriots would know well, and could answer without hesitation, that others would not? It's not a password per se, because you can ask multiple different ways, and get different responses IN EVERYDAY CONVERSATION that would not be suspect even if the person you're talking to isn't a patriot.

Ideas related to the constitution come to mind, but you can't really insert it into small talk with a stranger.

My uncle used to be a churchgoer. He stopped a little while ago but one of the things that stayed was that he has a habit of saying, "Testify" when he agrees with you. Like - the way I'll say, "Yeah. I hear you," he says "Testify". Which I always liked.

In terms of the constitution, maybe the thing that could be brought into conversation is like, the 28th Amendment. Which hasn't been written. But maybe folks can ask each other, if there WAS to be one, what should it be? It's a conversation starter. But also, it's like us. The Trump Era is a new thing in our country's history. It too hadn't been written until Trump did it. I dunno. I'm just brainstorming here.

I hear you. Ideas are welcome.

What's required of a good shibboleth is that it doesn't take thought to answer, and in this case it also can't be taught because it's something you were raised with - common to all Americans of all ages. That's a tough one. . The fact that we're a republic is one - not a direct democracy, thank heavens. What's the point of a republic? To ensure that all voices are heard - even minority groups. It's such a basic concept that even those who didn't take civics, if patriots, will know.

I took mine down. It goes back up (upside down) on Inauguration Day.

I recommend to EVERYONE right now: Keep your political leanings and thoughts to very close circles. Do not fly banners, upside down flags, lawn signs, hats, bumper stickers, etc. We all have bad actors in our neighborhood. We don't know which way all of this is going and you do not want to make yourself a target unnecessarily. If this turns towards the darker side of history, it can happen fast. In fact, take notes on your neighbors who have BLM, communist, antipolice, or "In my America", "We believe in science" type signs. These people are most susceptible to influence and most likely to turn people in if it comes to that. Also beware people who are overly emotional about masks and Covid, as they are letting their emotions affect their judgement. Be a grey man, now more than ever.

Edit/Summary: It's better you know everything about your neighbors than they know everything about you

Its already really easy bro.

Leftists are not fucking shy about announcing their politics.

If someone keeps their politics to themselves they are either based or just a default lib that doesnt think about politics that much.

The latter are usually chill, if they hit you with a “i heard R’s and Trump are raycis?” Just be reasonable about saying “nah thats just the TV selling rage” and they get it.

We join the gay community. Unironically.

The gay community no longer really exists. LGBT is broadly accepted today. There's no pressure to hide in underground communities (thus as observed by BAP have lost freedom becoming diminished as result of becoming normal). Those communities developed elaborate coding methods to blend in and spot one another. Michael Malice pointed out there's lessons to learned from their experience.

Become a protected class. Carve out the underground places while the circular firing squad turns bloodthirsty on survivor island with one another. Mop up when they're done.

Just mention something about how horrible January 6th was and watch their reaction. It'll be pretty obvious even if they lie and say "yeah it was horrible"

I look for non soy looking faggots. Men who walk with head up and chest out. Women with a few kids and a modest vehicle. Men and women who love their family and take care of themselves. That's enough for me.

How about a 1776 Betty Ross shirt? People see me in that, and they know =)

It’s called we stand up straight, don’t wear women’s jeans unless women, typically don’t run purple or green hair, weigh more than 170 lbs if male, less if female, aren’t afraid of eye contact, hold doors for people behind us, help people in need, etc.

My patriodar is already pretty good. I'll just go with the grey man approach for now.

Of course, we could always go with something non-visual. Hows about an RFID chip?

I already do (usually a hat or something - some are more subtle, like a 4th of July Yankees' hat where the flag is in the logo. Another is a shirt where the stripes in the flag are vertical and meant to look like bars in a jail cell, with two hands gripping them, to infer we're imprisoned. I used to wear it a lot before '16. Last time I wore it was election day in '16 but that may have to get pulled out again for regular use), and if I'm not wearing an American flag, than I'm usually wearing some kind of "banned' hat, like a Redskins or Cleveland Indians/Chief Wahoo hat (which I think is another good indicator). I also go to a school who's name was considered offensive (indians) so we now have no real name or mascot. I bought a generic letterman jacket, and found 2 old patches from back in the day that are "super offensive" to put on them and wear around the town/campus (I'll eventually get expelled but w/e, I'm done w/ classes but not currently enrolled because gatekeepers are blocking my thesis research anyway and I won't bend the knee).

I joined the Grunstyle tshirt club. They all have the flag on the right sleeve. I get a cool shirt every month. They’re themed for the month. And they’re guaranteed for life.

Just from experience I dont need anything to know someone is a patriot. Their actions make them stick out like a sore thumb. Same goes for communists as well too though
