"A dictator was the best leader we had so far despite being dead for over 40 years." That's not an indictment of only Sanchez, and considering the shit Franco and his followers did, it's an extremely dubious statement anyway by any perspective other than a Francoist one.

Nah, that was just me exaggerating to drive the point across even though many people think democracy is inherently superior to a dictatorship/ancien regime style monarchies even though what determines if a government is good or bad is the capabilities/morality of the ruler and not how they ended up there in the first place.
I'm pretty sure the election of Margaret Thatcher and the inception of the Iranian Revolution act as living proof that sometimes people would rather forego the power of suffrage if it means the people in charge know what they do (though in Iran's case, they are only marginally less retarded than the aforementioned British Head of Government).
Self-inflicted segregation: https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2016...aws-criticism/ from the same cloth of idiots who self-flagellated, thinking that it would save their souls. Politically left or right is, as always, irrelevant.
It's a fascist symbol
Francoist, specifically.
In other news, Texas's bid to overturn the election results in swing states, that Trump, 17 states, and more than half of the GOP in the House, has been rejected by Trump's supposedly friendly SCotUS.
Texas response obliquely suggested they were open to secession over it XD

I was going to make a joke about them being immediately annexed by Mexico, but isn't Texas where all the tank parking lots are?

Eyyy... no?
For the record, don't even think I'm using it for any actual "I'm a Fascist" reasons. I'm using it because
a. It does look cool.
b. I intend to use it in a story (that's pretty much vaporware right now).
Pretty much.
And everyone acting surprised Trump's "ultra conservative" SCOTUS is not accepting these strange lawsuits shouldn't. Trump also appointed like... two, out of those Judges.
How do you highlight how horrible a government is compared to every politician that came before when the only one (obviously) hit lower depths was the dictator that preceded all other heads of state?
I could make a case for far worse Monarchs (Juana la Loca) but she's from the medieval era, so I thought that would be way too far.
:P
I do want some cool symbolism for the thing I'm baking though, and while I obviously won't feature Nazi symbols, stuff like the Falange symbol does work. Rick Riordan himself used the fasces for the Roman Emperors in his last series. I'm sticking to a similar symbol with some historical context. The falange version just looked cooler than the Catholic Monarch variant (which is separate).

The only other version we have looks like this, which is not exactly good for a signature where you need something small and condensed.
