Aneurysm aside, good question. I wonder if I’d agree with their interpretation of what Jesus says and what that means for society, though.

This isn’t aneurysm and is just poorly laid out mixed with old timey language.
Why call ye me “Lord”, and do not the things which I say?
“Why call ye me Lord” is the same question verb/object ordering of when someone says “what say you?” … “why do you call me Lord”
“Do not the things which I say” is just replacing “don’t do” with “Do not.” It’s really weird in modern english. But you don’t need a second do to make sense. Heck, the previous sentence didn’t need a “do”… “You need not a second do” is a perfectly valid sentence, that’s just not how colloquially we form sentences anymore.
But more to your point, anyone who has a sign this big on their car is probably more concerned about the time Jesus said “homosexuality is a sin” [citation needed], and less about the time he said “love thy neighbor” [Mark 12:31].

How does “LORD LORD” fit into your explanation?

It’s not a good question, it’s based on an incorrect assumption. I don’t call Jesus “Lord” so I don’t give a shit what his followers think he said two millennia ago.

It’s clearly not directed at you since you don’t call Jesus Lord. Whether or not it is a good question seems to be a different subject than what you’re addressing.

Well, in context what he said was directed to people who did call him Lord. And you should consider caring, most of his modern “followers” are nutjobs, but most of the quotes attributed to him are based. Love your neighbor, call out hypocrites, keep your faith between you and God instead of flaunting it for social credibility.

I really enjoy interpreting the Jesus Christ at the end not as a quote attribution, but as a frustrated epithet thrown in at the end.

That’s how it read in my head

I like interpreting it as a quote attribution, but with the same exasperation which would accompany the frustrated epithet.
