    Not really bothered by it, just makes them look a tad stupid (especially as the acronym/abbreviation (whatever) doesn't even work). If they're trying to "send a message" or make a "political statement" via these T-shirts they're so crude I can't see how they'd be effective, although in my opinion it's just a really bad joke.

    I hate to say it, but I have a similar shirt (LBGT with the Statue of Liberty, a Beer, a Gun and a Pair of TaTa's), and I happen to like it, as does my Lesbian friend. To us it's not demeaning just a Satirical jab at people who are easily offended. There are those that get offended because of the LBGT and those that get offended because of the Icons beneath the letters, but for the most part the reaction I've gotten is either nothing or positive from both straight people and members of the community. It's far too easy these days for people to take offense at anything that is meant to be humorous even if it's done in good fun. Just my take on such things.

    Meh. So Trump supporters are idiots. That's not news. Let them have their tacky little t-shirts. As long as those shirts aren't actively disseminating hatred.
