Today I saw a car that had

Today I saw a bumper sticker on it and had to take picture of it. Went to my parents house after work and showed them the picture. I asked them what was wrong in the photo.

The car had an OLD Romney and Ryan bumper sticker on the back of the trunk of the car.... nothing else.....

My parents asked what's wrong in the photo....

I replied, where is Trumps bumper sticker if the are Republicans who kept the Romney and Ryan bumper sticker......

Folks, this was in the heart of Missouri RepublicanVille!

Trump is going to get DUMPED by his own party next year!

Some old geezers can't bend over to scrape them off anymore.

I am an old geezer myself but don't put bumper stickers on my car because of all the assholes here. Can't afford the body damage.

I drive a big truck and it is obvious I tow trailers. Tool box in the bed and all. Most people would assume I own guns, which is correct but don’t carry them around in the truck.

I’m sometimes tempted to slap a Vote Blue or Obama sticker on the truck just to break stereotypes.

But then the aggravation it would cause keeps me from doing it.

But once we have our candidate in 20...game on!

I live in Indiana where democratic stickers can get your car keyed. So, sticker goes on the magnet, magnet goes on the car, and the whole thing goes in the trunk whenever you park someplace you're unsure of. It will not save you from getting flipped off and screamed at at red lights, but whatever, welcome to Indiana.

I would never put (stick) a bumper sticker on my car so I think about getting a magnet holder every election. But then I worry about it scratching the paint and never do it.

but I keep both the car and the magnets pretty clean. Although, take the magnets off before going through a car wash or you'll never see them again.

Since there is not chance of that, . . . . .

Now, if those folks put a Biden, Pete B, K Harris, etc., sticker on their car, that's different.

a ton of Trump bumper stickers is partially attributed to a shame factor at work, but they're still more than willing to enthusiastically vote for him once they're in the safe confines of a voting booth.

as soon as an election was over. In recent years, not so much.

I would not conclude anything at all from that bumper sticker.

coming from political stickers. You never change any minds and you have a good chance of getting damage. My first bumper sticker was "I LIKE IKE"....
