    YOU MIGHT BE A JAN SIXER (Opinion)

    By Tim Taylor August 14, 2021 , , ,

    (with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)

    You don’t necessarily need to have attacked the Capitol last January 6th to be a Jan Sixer.  The legion of sympathizers and wannabes has only grown since then. 

    You might be a Jan Sixer, if…:

    • You like the fact that Donald Trump is a complete a…hole.
    • You’re not willing to overlook that Trump is an incompetent, corrupt, racist.  You actually like that about him.
    • You think Trump would make a great stand-up comic.
    • You think that all 26 of the women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct should be locked up.
    • You think that the only people more qualified to be elected than right wing talk show hosts are reality TV stars.
    • Your favorite reality TV star is Tucker Carlson.
    • You think that there might be three or four Mexican immigrants that are good people.
    • You have a confederate statue in your front yard.
    • You think that woke is what you did this morning.
    • You took out a second mortgage so you could buy more guns.
    • You like global warming because where you live is too cold.  And you live in Texas.
    • Your kid’s godmother is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
    • You’re on a first name basis with Hugo Chavez’s ghost.
    • You believe that Tom Hanks is a baby-eating child molester.
    • You believe you’re a very stable genius.

    You might be a Jan Sixer, if…:

    • One reason you want Trump to be President is you need a pardon.
    • Your attorney is Rudy Guiliani.
    • You want to make voting Democrat a capital offense.
    • You don’t believe that Joe Biden was born in the U.S.
    • You think chanting USA USA is a substitute for genuine patriotism.
    • You wish that Mike Pence was more like Vladimir Putin.
    • You know how to tie a noose.
    • You always have zip ties handy.
    • Your horns match your body armor.
    • You can think of more than one use for a flag pole.
    • You think that everyone should be able to own an assault weapon, unless they are a Capitol policeman.
    • Your idea of supporting police is wedging one in a door.
    • You want to have January 6th made a national holiday.
    • You won’t go snorkeling because you’d have to wear a mask.
    • You think Trump cares about you.
