Welcome, and Foxtrot Delta Tango

Fuck Donald Trump.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were asking what "Foxtrot Delta Tango" means.

Seriously, that's what it means: Foxtrot Delta Tango uses the NATO phonetic alphabet (a bit of extra irony given Trump's disdain for NATO itself) as a more public-friendly substitution for the phrase "Fuck Donald Trump".

Sure, you could just use the initials "FDT", but that's not near as fun.

Anyway, when someone asked if the phrase was gaining any traction anywhere, I realized.. I had never heard it. Not once.

So, I' setting about trying to do my part to spread it. That's why I've created a fuck-ton of items that utilize the phrase; Some subtle, some not-so-subtle.

Plus, like nearly everything I've made, I wanted the item for myself (there's a reason nearly every patch I make I always take the first off the line; Today I'm wearing the resistance fist "Foxtrot Delta Tango" morale patch), and if I personally like it? Yeah, I'll make more and sell that shit.

The Foxtrot Delta Tango wardrobe on Redbubble doesn't make me much of anything, but that's OK. I enjoy creating and wearing these things myself, and just like sharing it with others. My leftist & spoonie morale patches I do make a bit more on, but that's because those are all hand-crafted here at home (I've literally bled to make some of these patches) and I have material and time costs to think about.

If you're someone who recognizes and hates that the US government has become an authoritarian and fascist regime, then be sure let people know about #FoxtrotDeltaTango. Use it on social. Put it on your protest signs (there's a 50501 rally today, you know). Shout it out as you march.

Betcha thought I was gonna say "Buy my shit", right?

Well, I mean.. If you want to. If my creations help drive and inspire you, absolutely! However, Foxtrot Delta Tango isn't mine. It's everybody's battle-cry, dammit, and I didn't even come up with it. How you say it is completely up to you, and if you're a creator yourself, I encourage you to come up with your own designs and merch themed around it.

The more of us shouting "FOXTROT DELTA TANGO" (or even "FUCK DONALD TRUMP"), the better.. Although, if you're someone who's likely to be targeted for your activism, don't risk it on my say-so: Those of us who are relatively low-risk are more than capable of fighting for you (although Trump has said "Homegrowns are next" in regards to deportations to El Salvador prisons).

I'll say it again: Foxtrot. Delta. Tango.

Fuck. Donald. Trump.
