  The blue line is supposed to be the police protecting you from IDK black people and foreigners and other “troublesome” things. So for young rightwing losers, usually goes along with guns and fragile masculinity.

  It’s a mark of support for police. Often used unironically beside the ‘don’t tread on me’ snake.

    What what what?!? The “Tread harder, daddy” snake is based on a real thing?!?

      Please tell me that you’re joking.

      Please tell me that the original meaning and intent of the Gadsden flag isn’t completely lost on America’s youth.

        Some of us dirty foreigners have learned how to use the internet too, not everyone online is American.

        Sorry, I’m not American, and I’ve likely only seen it on Lemmy, and likely in satirical forms.

        Anyway, I’ve read the other linked info and a bit more, so at least feel I do know now :)

        I’m also not a youth, but I’ll absolutely take that as a compliment, thank you very much :D

  In addition to what others have said, you can search for “thinn blue line” for more info on it. Basically meant to be on support of the kind of cops that killed George Floyed.
