70. They have been par for the course for at least the past decade.

I saw 86-45 messages, 86-46 messages and 86-47 messages.

So it’s more or less shrug worthy for me. It’s been done. Knew what “86” meant long ago. Didn’t really bother me.

Honestly, it is slightly more creative than that “Let’s Go Brandon” bullshit they were pushing. That one was really pathetic and cringeworthy.

Then there were the real disturbing ones suggesting violence. Those did upset me.
