My first negative reaction to my bumper sticker today.

[leftcoastmountains]

I pulled into recycling center a truck was behind me.
I was taking out 2.5 gal. water bottles to recycle.
This truck had turned around came back through and the driver
yelled out his window "F***you, you communist b*tch!"
The few people around looked confused. The guy who works
at the center yelled at the guy and ran after him. He didn't understand
what just happened. I told him I think it was due to my Bernie sticker.
He said "what's a Bernie sticker?"
I said "Bernie Sanders bumper sticker." He still couldn't believe it. I almost
said well he's probably a Trump supporter but I looked around and some of those
people looked like Trump supporters. So I didn't say much else.

I put my Bernie bumper sticker on my car last fall. So it took a while. I'm not surprised
because I live in a place where there a lot of low information voters, namely
the So. Cal. mountain area.

1. I'm sorry you had to endure that.

Once you get away from the coast, you run into more Trump supporters.

[Jennylynn]

2. That's exactly why I don't do it

No stickers, not shirts, no yard signs, no nothin'. People are rabid these days.

[leftcoastmountains]

5. Yeah I was concerned when I first put it on.

But I was pleasantly surprised when not only did I not have any negative
reactions but I received a lot of thumbs up and "yeah Bernies." The IE
what are you going to do? I love the trees, bears, deer,raccoons, skunks etc.
up here. The beach area is definitely better but then there's other issues like
expensive, traffic etc.

[Jennylynn]

16. I get it

Well, at least you got some good vibes too.

3. As he drove away in his made in Communist China shoes and clothes.

[leftcoastmountains]

10. No doubt.

[Hiraeth]

4. I live in one of the reddest counties of a red state. Love Bernie and got a sticker when I donated

but, NO WAY is it going on my car

[leftcoastmountains]

7. I don't blame you. But this is California still.

While the people may be rabid at times they are probably not
as rabid as where you live. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy
was originally from elsewhere. We still get a lot of transplants
here.

[Hiraeth]

9. trudat

sorry it happened to you, bummer.

[Jennylynn]

17. If you live in a red county in a red state...

How come you're so blue?? What is WRONG with you?? LOL. Jk

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. Me too, but I've only gotten positive responses

about my Bernie t-shirts.

[Hiraeth]

28. I am afraid of anonymus actions that might take place to my car in a parking lot while

I am in a store doing business.

[retrowire]

6. in solidarity...

I'm with you

[leftcoastmountains]

8. Thanks! It's a little unnerving but I'm

not going to take it off. Fingers crossed.

[dana_b]

11. Sorry that happened to you

My daughter's boyfriend had his van egged because of a Bernie sticker. I'm expecting someone to scratch mine off. Lots of angry people out there!

Btw - I saw my first Hillary sticker here! Lots of Bernie and a few Trumps but only 1 Hillary. I'm in the SF Bay Area.

[leftcoastmountains]

15. Wow I wouldn't expect that up there! But

unfortunately I guess Trump has emboldened the people
whose mindset is still back in Jr. High!

[dana_b]

18. Yeah - look at THIS one!!:

I saw it at my doctor's office. At least the guy (I think it was a guy) is honest!!

[Duval]

21. Hope it wasn't your doctor's car!

[leftcoastmountains]

22. That was my first thought! LOL!

[dana_b]

30. nah - it was in the patient parking area n/t

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. "proud to be an asshole"

Well, that pretty much sums it up.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

32. Maybe he was going to the asshole doctor? The GI guy?

Maybe he was going to the asshole doctor.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

12. In Republican Suburbs north of ATL...

I got a positive response from an Auburn grad lady (had Auburn license plate)... (she had to be in her 40's or 50's)

She was behind me and honked a few quick bursts as she passed me as I was left turning and stuck out a big thumbs up! I was surprised to say the least

[valerief]

13. Mine was stolen a couple months ago. nt

[rhett o rick]

14. Happy to live in the great state of Washington, we feel the Bern. nm

[dana_b]

19. after that blow out

I'm tempted to move there. Except that I know you guys don't need anymore California transplants.

Lots of smart people up there. It must be all the oxygen from the trees and the ocean.

[rhett o rick]

20. Work on turning California bluer. nm

[leftcoastmountains]

24. Yeah that has been on my mind also.

But can't really beat the weather here. Plus I still have a 95 yr. old Dad
who I visit once a month at the very least. He's about 4-6 hrs. away depending
on traffic. So can't really move further away.

[Kalidurga]

26. He sounds angry like that is how he is all the freaking time.

I feel sorry for people who have to live with that daily. Hopefully it's a single person who doesn't have to go to work everyday and lives in a cabin in the woods (poor critters) and was just in town to get supplies.

[SoapBox]

27. No damage or thefts yet!

But I'm in Los Angeles. Currently have one adhesive and 3 magnetic on the car. In 2008, it was a month or so before the general and had my Obama stuff stolen in employee parking...figured it was some of the six-figure income types that didn't want him in office.

At least now if they get taken, I have LOTS more.

Also have up one yard sign (soon to be joined by some more) and a window sign...at least I'm in a "protected" neighborhood however it is going to piss off the neighbor across the street with the Hill sign. Ha!

[abelenkpe]

29. I'm so sorry that happened

Guy must have been a real nut.

Stay safe

[eridani]

31. There is a gread deal to be said for the magnets

They can be removed in dangerous areas.
