My last car before I got into an accident. I had a time getting off older stickers, I used goo gone and it pretty much ruined the paint on the bumper. Even on the window, I don't like the sticky residue...so magnetic all the way. Plus I can take them off at the local Walmart...such a gathering place for Magats.

Fri Mar 30, 2018, 09:16 AM
Mar 2018

I drive a big ol' F250 SuperDuty (as well as a gas-sipping Mini Cooper). The back of the F250 is emblazoned with:
US Army Retired
Vietnam Vet
Airborne
Ranger
Special Forces
"Is that true or did you hear it on Fox?"
"Proud Democrat"
"Elect A Clown, Expect A Circus"
"="
"EMT"
"Remington"
"Sig-Sauer"
"Armed Liberal"
"Biden 2020"

I live in a rural Virginia county that reliably votes 60-40 Republican.

I get a few odd looks and the occasional middle finger in my rear view mirror.

One guy approached me when I was at the local trash dump and shouted at me: "You liberal motherfuckers should all be shot!!" I ignored him. Still see him and his middle finger from time to time.

Today I'm adding an anti-NRA sticker. That should get some attention.

Piss on the knuckledraggers.

I should get that "Armed Liberal" sticker. If it were magnetic, I'd put it on my Avalanche.

But yeah I get the middle finger once in a while for mine. I just give them a kiss and wink. That seems to make them a bit...more pissy.

their moving vehicles. I'm not in the least afraid of fingers and yelled insults either, but being a 5'2" grandma is an inspiration to the kind of aggressive right wingers who attack in packs unless they feel an overwhelming advantage.

I don't even have an expensive car to intimidate and impress knuckledraggers who identify "deserving" people by their possessions, just a favorite little pickup too old to justify physical damage coverage.

But honestly I wouldn't put it past them to do that.

I'm only 27 so maybe I don't scare as easy when it comes to physical threats.

Anyway I understand where you're coming from and I respect your idea of being safe than sorry because I really should be as well.

I was threatened by hostile, angry, individual men as an appraiser in the field a number of times over the years without even bringing politics into it. THESE days, with hostilities running so high?

Perversely enough, in those days I often grabbed off assignments in high crime neighborhoods because as an older woman I felt I was safer from territorial challenges than my male colleagues of your age. They all piled up more stories than me in far less time. Danger was typically from packs rather than individuals, though.

Enjoy your sticker.

I think the reason why a lot of people get so angry and hostile so fast is because they're low IQ levels. I think if somebody is not intelligent they get hostile like a caveman.

I mean how many conservatives have we seen lose their shit over somebody saying something about tRump? I think it all boils down to intelligence levels.

I'll enjoy my sticker. It's going up on my bulletin board in my home.

It comes in sheets and is used to make hand-crafted refrigerator magnets, etc.

Stick the bumper sticker on the magnetic sheet and trim around it.

Now you have a magnetic bumper sticker that you can peel on and off your car as you please.

on my truck for a few years of the "W" administration. I put mine on a chunk of wood and mount that in my rear window so it's not stuck to the truck.

I never got anything but honks and waves and thumbs up's. No one ever gave me any crap about it at all. I am a pretty large tough looking guy for one thing. I kind of think it went over the heads of a lot of the people it was supposed to piss off too. If anyone ever flipped me off or anything, I wasn't looking.

I myself always wondered why a lot conservatives seem to have bumper stickers all on their vehicles while not many liberal do. I do agree that by having a liberal bumper sticker your vehicle will be a target for vandalism.

We don't care what stickers they put on their cars. We see something anti-liberal, pro-tRump...we just shake our head and go about our business.

Conservatives on the other hand...lol well they have lower IQ's which seem to ignite some rage whenever they feel themselves or their Cheeto messiah attacked. Also from all the brainwashing right-wing media, we are the enemy. Attack the enemy as much as possible.
