WTF does this mean, and who paid for it? -spotted in the Dells

To those confused about what this means, it simply means “fuck you, libs”

Boot leather fetishist.

Why do they insist on us ‘loving’ the police?

EDIT: u/BSTON3 made a very good point below that the following is probably heavily skewed since it’s a tourist town, and so the population swells during the summer, and along with it, crime.

If anything, it’s a good lesson on not doing what the billboard does — painting places (like the Dells, or say, Chicago, or the entire states of California or New York) as high-crime areas when that doesn’t tell the whole story.

I lived in Chicago for 8 years. Got harassed by cops twice. Never got shot at or mugged. I lived 1/2 a mile from Garfield park. This is your brain on Fox.

The dells is a shithole lmao what

Quick! Name the three most liberal places you know! That oughtta show em!

Chicago? Look, Chicago doesn’t even have the highest crime rate in Illinois, let alone the US.

Move to a major city where there’s more crime.

Classic “if you don’t love it, leave it” bullshit. Aka “stop having an opinion I don’t like”

Someone who’s a far right maga bootlicker that’s who paid for it

Doesn’t Chicago give the Wisconsin Dells a ton of business?

Kenosha and Milwaukee are more sketchy than the majority of Chicago. Same could be said about most of Wisconsin minus Madison maybe.
