Vulgar.

Not Profane.

Not a Third Commandment By Extension* violation.

*Profanation of the Holy, such as misusing “Hell” or “Damnation”

Wish they wouldn’t, but I won’t say they oughtn’t.

I have seen several of these pro-Trump signs and flags with the “fu@& your feelings” message.

I just laugh.
