"I'm not getting in that car". --- a campaign slogan?

Just a thought.

I had this image, or something similar, in mind.


From Fullerton Hornet/The Anaheim Colony

From the article:

Fortunately, our history does not define who we are. We must not allow ourselves to be bound by the events that lie in the past.

A great slogan as well. Credit to author Abi G Bulus

Artists out there?

Why didn't he want to get in the car with his security detail?

As a kid I had no idea it was a right wing stronghold. My dad was Republican but my mom was very liberal. When I was a teen all local politics seemed to tend liberal, with the Vietnam war setting the tone. I Didn’t learn that Orange County was very right wing until I left for college.

Billboards, TV, internet, 30 second spots, talking point being the GOP car is going off the cliff.
Not just bad ideas or anti-American activities, but actual mental insanity leading to the inevitable Thelma and Louise denouement.

Want a ride to the grocery store, neighbor?"
"I'm not getting in that car!", pointing to the republican bumper sticker.

Race car driver says, "I'm not getting in that car!" and we see GOP sponsor stickers on the race car.

Apologies for President Zelenskyy for the comparison, but it does seem a little apt.
