When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently tweeted an image of what he said was a new state license plate featuring a coiled rattlesnake and the words "Don't Tread on Me," he said it sends a "clear message to out-of-state cars."

Here we go....

[ShadowAce]

Texas already has one

[Spok]

So would they approve if it said “Please tread on me”?

[babble-on]

Tennessee has had it as an option for many years.

“Here we go....”

The debate is over!

awee.. some NPR woketard’s feelings are hurt, FOADIAF. this country can not survive any more woke tolerance.

GA doesn't have one.

TN does.

Several others do.

I like this:

Virginia has had these for years.

[Allegra]

So would they approve if it said “Please tread on me”?

Or with the power-tripping leftists, maybe they’d like, “We’ll tread on you.”

To me it appears that npr is just taking the opportunity to swipe at DeSantis......in a left handed and backhanded way that subliminally suggests he is a racist.

[who knows what evil?]

The ‘debate’ exists only in the mind of communist progressives...

A 240 year-old flag doesn’t change or lose its meaning because some group uses it.

Get ready, the American flag (already under attack) is next.

[KrisKrinkle]

If someone objects to the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag, perhaps it’s because they want to tread on people.

Our deep state operatives in government don’t want the sheep to get any ideas.

"Reopened the debate"

LOL. They could only find one bed-wetting, panties-in-a-wad liberal to quote and she is, naturally, from SPLC... Rachel Carroll Rivas, deputy director of research and analysis for the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center. No orther "debate" is mentioned.

SPLC has an "Intelligence Project"? What's their goal? To reduce the intelligence of normal people to that of liberal kooks?

If the commie pigs don’t like the plate, DON’T LOOK AT IT, SISSY BOYS! Geez.

[HighSierra5]

I’ve got a Gadsden flag that I fly with the 76 flag around July 4th. Looks cool. You tread on me and I puncha you face and fill you fulla lead.
