Is this typical where you live?

[exitseven]

I saw this today driving around town. There are some lawn signs and bumper stickers around but this guy gets the prize.

The flags were a nice touch

[Lynx122]

No there are a few people who put political banners on their balcony or out their window or so but people are less focused on cars here so they're less focused on bumper stickers too. You see rainbow flags or ukraine flags or free palestine or when a vote is coming up vote yes for this or vote no on that. During Covid you saw some banners thank you to the nurses and the carers. The only bumper stickers you see are baby on board or some joke ones or so. Also politics is a lot less polarizing here since we have 7 main parties and a few smaller ones so everyone is sort of represented. There's nobody going around saying if this party gets 5 more seats in the next election then the world will end. People just vote based on their views and then business goes on. Often the votes on specific issues are a bigger deal than the elections because they will determine the future of the country at least in one aspect.

I see bumpers, trunk lids and tail gates covered with stickers but not too many big statements like in the photo.

There are a couple holiday parades each year on the main street of a nearby town. They put on a big pageant for Presidents Day. People in trucks or vehicles decked out like that might show up for those.

A couple years ago, BLM supporters got a permit to hold a march. They made a big deal about feeling threatened when a lot of people turned out to show opposition. The counter protestors had signs and flags, and some of their vehicles were wrapped like the truck in the photo with patriotic and support the police messages.

[katiesmuff]

There are ignorant REDNECKS generally from places like texas or florida who show signs like this to flaunt their ignorance.

[exitseven]

You do not know anything about them. They are probably mostly guys trying to raise their families in the face of high inflation, failing school systems, defunded police and rising taxes. you show your ignorance making offhand comments about people you do not know.

[katiesmuff]

Not sure where you are from, but me I live in Sarasota Florida all my life and I don't see the inflation produced by high home prices and giant corporations inflating prices for retail products like food etc all of which is controlled by the people in a free market. I know of nobody complaining about their investment accounts from the last 4 years (I know my families are doing just fine) and other than the normal complaining people do about wanting more. Remember this as well the school systems are run by local school boards elected by YOU, and local government officials also elected by YOU and NONE of these things are done without YOURS AND MY TAX MONEY.
Are you some kind of government FREELOADER that thinks schools, police, fire, public workers come without a burden on our taxes. It doesn't make a tinkers damn who is President or who wins this next election as most of what you said comes from TAXES which neither candidate can do a fucking thing about that. What they can do is try and stop some of the give away money which is one thing I do like about Trumps program, unfortunately his ultimate HATE of woman's rights and the fact he acts like a complete idiot with the lies everyone knows are lies which includes you.

@katiesmuff bringing the 🔥🔥🔥!!! LMFAO!! They don't realize that "Taxes are the price we pay for civilization". John Greene

[Daniela1982]

I have seen this kind of in-your-face stuff.

[strateguy632]

When academy awards had deniro he used his platform to repeat fu,, trump and everyone the liberals cheered so he repeated it, we finally learn to mimic them and we get called "in your face" as if bad.
Only democrats are allowed to publicly announce f trump!

[Daniela1982]

@strateguy632 That's because they are so used to screwing themselves for the people they vote for.

[OlderAndWiser]

There are extremists in all political camps.

[exitseven]

Any in Florida?

[OlderAndWiser]

Absolutely!

[DrPepper12]

Libs typically do not engage in this public behavior

[OlderAndWiser]

@DrPepper12 Hahaha! A few examples

[DrPepper12]

Your comparing an a insult to Biden with legitimate protest? Extremists? OK 🙄

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, i am providing examples of the left being quite demonstrative about their beliefs. Of course, if you are on the left, you see all of those protests as “reasonable,” and you see all of the right as being extreme. . . Unless and until you develop the ability to understand that everyone who disagrees with you is not an extremist idiot. Do you have that ability?

[DrPepper12]

When that evidence appears I will rationally consider it

[OlderAndWiser]

@DrPepper12 So you think that everyone who disagrees with you is an extremist idiot? Are you admitting that you lack the ability to recognize your own bias?

[DrPepper12]

Not at all! I think right wing extremists are properly classified as domestic terrorists by our intelligence organizations.

"Antifa" (they really don't exist as an "organization" but are local troublemakers and opportunists looking for "the man" to be stupid and violent and get street cred by fighting the cop protected "establishment.)

BLM is a decentralized movement despite what they say in the right wing media. They are very much peaceful despite a few events where they weren't. The media you consume blows it all out of proportion and does not show you similar and worse right wing extremism

[236color]

No, it's not common where I live, but I live in the San Francisco of Michigan just north of Detroit. I've recently returned from a vacation in the Upper Peninsula however, and Trump paraphernalia up there, while still present, is less common and more muted.

[strateguy632]

Not in new york.

A blue city in a blue state that made citizens grade b low priority , for the non citizen law breakers priority... but apparently democrats don't mind "others getting absurd amounts at their loss and expense."

[Staximus]

I think I'm going to drive around and replace Kamala signs with Trump signs

[exitseven]

in 2020 there was a woman that went around at night stealing Trump signs. She had a whole pile of them in her car when the cops pulled her over. The court gave her 30 days picking up roadside trash.

[Fireguy17]

Ya, there are a few trucks around with stuff on the back.
Pretty much the norm along with confederate flags or US flags.

[AviatorTom]

I've seen some bumper stickers for both parties and candidates, but nothing as blunt as the tailgate of that truck. Where I live, people generally don't put bumper stickers on their cars, which they wash and wax a lot.

[thearchjoker]

Well since im not from or in the states my answer is no

[JonCobretti]

I luckily live in a neighborhood filled with Trump/Vance signs

[Anonymous]

Nope. I live in a purple state. We have our she of nuts on both sides of the aisle. But it's not the norm.

[CaptainSmartass]

Nope. That's not a thing round these parts.

Simples...

[normalice]

We see weirdos like this only on rare occasions. It was a lot more typical in 2016.

[DrPepper12]

Not typical. Only morons like this dude scream "I have a micropenis"!

[dragoblack]

Yeah, the cult trucks go around here advertising their insecurities & hatred, while worshipping trump.

[msc545]

no, thank God.

[exitseven]

my state is just a crazy as yours yet this sort of thing seems to be happening more and more.

[msc545]

We could both move to New Zealand...

[exitseven]

I have a friend whose kid moved to New Zealand. She has been there several times and says it is awesome.

[msc545]

I've actually been there twice now. It is unbelievably beautiful. The people are very friendly and most importantly very calm.
