in a way, I do wish those people would be required to wear and display them. It does make the dangerous MAGAts easier to identify.

Cuz if that’s what you’re showing off in public, that’s what you ARE.

it's the accompanying anger and threat of violence that go along with them.

I didn't wear a Hillary button, even in liberal Seattle, because I didn't want to deal with the flak I knew I would get. It's unfair that the MAGA crowd gets to intimidate people this way. Wear whatever you want, but when it signals an implied threat....it crosses a line

during the W years bought a brand new car. She put bumper stickers on it.

I took a hairdryer and took them all off and haven't allowed her to put ANY back on, and especially during the Trumphumper last 5+ years.

I know two Dems who got ahold of Trump Election yard signs in 2020, and stashed them away in their garages. They both told me that if all hell breaks loose, they will put them up in their front yards because they won't need to worry about the Dems, just the Trumphumpers. NOT LOL........

with one exception. I have an SUV with 340,000 miles we use for work. It has "Reality Has a Liberal Bias" on it. It's getting a little faded. Liberals get the joke, and the MAGAts think it's true, so that one doesn't cause problems.

I just frequently wear T-shirts now, with the messages I'd like to put on the bumperstickers. Other than the occasional rare dirty look, no one has said anything to me for a long time about them. I've always been surprised when I travel, in fact, how often people in red areas will say they like it or agree.

I dug out two of my coat/shirt buttons from the 60's. I chuckle when some tea bagger/Republican/Trumphumper comes up to me, reads them, and thinks that I am trying to tell Libtards something and that I am on their side......Super LOL

One is: Question Authority

Other is: No cure for Stupid

I knew I kept them for some reason all these decades......
