Ah yes, the weird American fascination with prison rape as a form of punishment.

    To be fair, we do put rapists in there.

    How is that implied? Did I miss some text? Most people seem to agree that this is what the meme is about.

    Why would a person want a cell mate of someone they don’t like to be anything? (besides annoying or have a good memory (for remembering additional confessions) or something?)

    Big: able to overpower

    Beautiful: kinda gets to a place of romantic or sexual

    Bill: definitely a dude


    Edit - there’s a non-zero chance the protestor didn’t have sexual assault in mind, blinded by the pun. We can hope they were pun obsessed.

    Arhg

    In that case still a chance if we had an hour with her to dig into “yo is LITERAL RAPE actually ha-ha FUNNY, pls explain” we could get her around

    :-/

    (Reminded of the technique of saying “what do you mean?” when folks make off-color comments that either punch down or just aren’t ever really great, forcing to explain)

    "It's okay if bad things happen to other people"

    -USA in a nutshell

    Remember when their military industrial complex was ravaging through Asia and middle east and people back home were like "Thank you for your service"?

    People there are spineless cowards who cling to their made up "superiority" on backs of genocide, slavery, and exploitation all while marketing themselves as land of "freedom".

    But now the fascism is using the same military industrial complex against them, best they can do is do some dorky dance in costumes and an organized protest every few months.

    It's like they're oblivious to problems they create elsewhere can also affect them in the long run. But will they learn?

    Of course not.

    Hardly. We all know trump will never actually see a day behind bars. This sign is a comment on how he should be in prison. It's also referring to the karma (not justice) of him getting raped due to all his raping. It also is more appropriate as the GOP aims to put more people in crappy private prisons, without even attempting to solve the prison rape problem. And their public fear of homosexuality played into it as well.
    It's not meant to be taken literally and it's a not an endorsement of actual prison rape. It is a message of protest against a president who is a traitor and deserves a bullet in the head. It's edgy to get attention to the cause against trump. Those of us who don't want a fascist U.S. shouldn't fight over minor things like this. Such purity tests will divide and destroy us.
