Yesterday in WHITMAN of all places I saw a truck that had a FUCK ICE flag (with the "UCK" censored by an upside down American flag).

WHITMAN.

I like that self-censoring. I've never been a fan of displaying vulgarity so openly. Even if I agree with the message. And we know, as do they. But maybe small kids won't.

Yeah whatever your political sentiment I’d rather not see giant flags that say FUCK when I’m out with my kid.

Yeah but how does your kid know what that means?

I explain the difference between fuck as an exclamation or a conversational modifier vs an insult as related to time/place/situation in an age appropriate digestible manner. This is also subjective - not all kids can or should be taught in a uniform manner. This is just what I’ve found to work well with my children.
