What do you think when you see a truck with flying flags and signs on the tailgate

First thought before you can actually read the signs?

Mine was oh damn, a trumpkin.

I was so pleasantly surprised today when at first, I was approaching an old truck with two large flags on poles on the back and a sign which I couldn’t read.

I was in an Atlanta Georgia neighborhood.

As I came up behind the truck, I groaned expecting idiocy, then I read the signs, wow, my mood flipped!

“Get your vaccination so we can all be free from the virus”

Also saw a Stacy Abrahams sticker!

Great guys cruising down the street.
I wish I could have gotten a picture.

— that should be the official name of the city!


Slogan: “The city too busy to use turn signals.” Glad you made it home safe and sound, and thanks for the eye-witness account!

It was one of the full military style ones. I got behind him at some point on a major road was was shocked to see the stickers on the back were pro union, Medicare for all, equality etc. All on the spare tire cover. Around the edge was lettered .... "My son didn't die in Iraq for freedom so Repubs at home can deny yours"

More flags.

Anybody making “VACCINATE” flags?

Pictures.

Let’s have a contest to design the best vaccinate flag.

It was in ultra-red Travelers Rest, SC. I assumed it was just another Trump flag (they are ubiquitous in TR). I got closer and was totally surprised to see that it was a BIDEN flag!

It was early February.

We bought a piece of exercise equipment and needed a truck.

My brother in law was wondering what else I could move since I had a truck, seemed like a waste to just use it for what I needed it for.

I said I had a couple of flags. I had the Bernie in mittens meme turned into a flag. We could drive around town with them.

We need to take back the flag!

for decades. But, you get 30 - 40 miles outside Atlanta, and probably won’t see much of that. However, even that is changing a bit, slow but steady.
