With both Instagram and LinkedIn recently implementing changes to allow users to state their pronouns, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has felt the need to add her opinion on the matter. Yesterday evening she tweeted, “My pronoun is ‘Patriot’.”
My pronoun is “Patriot”.
— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) May 25, 2021
Boebert encouraged people to attend the January 6 protest in Washington DC that turned into an assault on the Capitol building, tweeting that same morning “Today is 1776” (a reference to the American Revolutionary War). She has criticized the heightened security on Capitol Hill since that attack.
At the time of writing, Boebert’s pronoun tweet had received over 21k likes in less than 12 hours and prompted thousands of comments.
A few expressed support for her stance, but a far greater number simply mocked the congresswoman, elected last year, with a large number pointing out that “Patriot” is a noun and not a pronoun.
How about we take this to the next level?

That’s a noun. You’re a dipshit.

That’s not a pronoun. You should have graduated from high school, you might have learned that.

Your grammar school education is “incomplete.”

#LaurenBoebertIsSoDumb she can’t figure out what a pronoun is.
Also, is anyone else annoyed the word “patriot” has been stolen by white nationalist and feels they no longer can use it? That bothers me.

Grammar isn’t your thing. Neither is governing. You’re nothing but a troll.

We know it isn’t “Christian.”

You spelled “Whackjob” wrong 😑

Your pronoun is Karen, like it or not.

“Patriot” is a noun, not a pronoun. Supporting those who tried to overthrow the government is the exact opposite of patriot. It’s a seditionist.
A better “pronoun” for you would be parrot

This is not the first time Boebert, 34, has waded in on matters of interest to the LGBTQ community. In March, Boebert slammed the Equality Act. Talking on the Steve Bannon’ ‘War Room’ podcast, Boebert, a fervent guns rights activist and right-wing conservative, took aim at the legislation currently making its way through Congress.
“There is nothing about equality in that act! If anything, it’s, the, uh, it’s supremacy of gays, lesbians and transvestites. This is what this is about, it’s about putting them higher than anyone else!”

Boebert has also previously mocked gender inclusivity.
To be more inclusive will Disney change Darth Vader’s iconic line to, “Luke, I am your parent”?

what a juvenile she is. it is quite evident that she’s like quite a few Republicans that have zero idea what patriotism is, and that’s really pathetic.
LumpyPillows
While she is not a patriot, she does excel at highlighting mistakes the left makes. Alternate pronouns are moronic. Outside the liberal bubble, people are just shaking their heads. I’m sure we will double down on this nonsense, instead of focusing on taxes, health care and hunger.

So let’s see, winning the Presidency and both houses of Congress as well as multiple governors mansions and state legislative seats back since Trump was elected.
Yep, sure sounds like “The Left” is making lots of mistakes.
LumpyPillows
We’re fighting against racists cave people, we should be dominant, not hanging on to a slim majority in both houses. We lost ground in many places, except picking up the presidency against a sociopath. If you really think we are not in imminent danger in 2022, you are not paying attention.
Heywood Jablowme
@Lumpy: You’re right, unfortunately. Many polls predicted a “blue wave” in 2020. It happened for Biden but not at the lower levels. The chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, (gay) Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, was in charge of the 2020 “autopsy” and he says that Republican scare tactics worked in the congressional and state races.
Liquid Silver
I’d argue it didn’t even happen for Biden, really. It wasn’t a squeaker, but the margins in a number of states…well, they really weren’t what I would have liked to have seen.
And somehow the House managed to lose seats in what should have been a very good year…and is on track to go Republican in 2022 using historic demographics.
“THIS ISN’T HISTOR…” Oh, do learn something from history, people, and other rotting empires. Head in sand syndrome while Rome burns is part of the problem, not the solution. Here’s your fiddle.
moretruth
You are so right. Between “Defund the Police” and the ridiculous pronouns, Dems nearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The fringe left will join forces with Gerrymandering and the Electoral College to give the batshit crazy GOP victory in 2022 and 2024. Any progress made during the Biden presidency will be erased, just like what they did to most of Obama’s. And then we’ll be under dictatorship forevermore. If only the far left were more self aware and pragmatic.

Democratic ineffectiveness is bordering on collusion with the GOP at this point. The Left isn’t Liberal anymore. In fact, the Left is so far Left at this point it’s actually turning allies against us by driving them in the other direction.
Centrism
@Lumpy You’re completely right. It’s sad that the pronoun crowd can’t see the damage they are doing. I’m a gay man, and I’m feeling alienated by a lot of the choices being made by extremist activists.
Cam
People who scream loudly and often that they aren’t gay typically end up being self hating closet cases.
Just like Republicans who keep screaming about how patriotic they are and wearing little flag pins turned out to be anti-American traitors who would mock our leaders and praise Putin.
Boebert is very obvious.
Heywood Jablowme
Not Patriot. More like “Pat Riot” !
MissTerri
Tee/Hee/Hee!!!!
Mack
Just another dumb Republican elected by even dumber Republicans.

I think they should have regular drug testing in at least the House, if not the entire Congress. She goes beyond dumb – she displays the brazen arrogance and thoughtlessness of the typical meth user.
Saw a bumpers ticker this morning: “Don’t Meth up your life”.
Maybe she’s all all-natural obnoxious hater twit, but a drug test would prove that.
ScottOnEarth
This trick is absolutely, unabashedly STUPID. She’s just stupid…and ignorant. What kind of country tolerates an elected official who is this stupid and useless? The best response above is, “Your pronoun is Karen, like it nor not!” HILARIOUS!!!!!!
Beachman
That’s all the Republican Party has to contribute today…..shock & chaos. It’s too lazy to do any work and actually develop a platform, or actually stand for anything except obstructionism. Just watch, every few months or so there will be a ‘new’ Lauren Boebert…..even more outrageous, even more extreme, until it collapses. This will not end pretty, and let’s hope democracy survives. Because you need at least 2 viable legitimate parties to exist in a democracy. Currently, we are watching a slow moving train wreck that will definitely crash & burn soon. How sad and what an enormous waste of time and resources.
OhPlease
Patriot is an old term in the white power movement to denote people who are participating in RaHoWa as assassins, by providing intel or ancillary support (food, lodging, etc). Trump is supposed to announce the formation of the communist-funded Patriot Party in the next year and it includes hit squads. Someone close to me recruited for this many years ago.
stafcoyote
Arrest all so-called “patriots,” forfeit their assets and incarcerate them at Guantánamo. Permanently.
mgconlan
The “PATRIOT” pronoun is the last refuge of scoundrels. (Actually the old proverb that “patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels” is incorrect. It’s only the next-to-last; the very last refuge of scoundrels is religion.)
fur_hunter
Here is the new pronoun for her. C UNTIS! She is a C UNTIS.
Tombear
Fact: this woman never graduated from high school she had an abortion for her first bastard and kept the second child. Why does an ignorant hillbilly make public policy for my husband and I? She doesn’t even know what a pronoun is!
corktownboy
Imho, she resembles one of the Palin kids……..maybe a long-lost cousin?

that’s some strap-on she’s wearing.
