" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.
It feels needlessly divisive.
Although I saw a "Bob Dole '96" in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.

If I see a bumper sticker that mentions jesus, I definitely assume that car is driven by the least christ-like person imaginable, and give them space.
Cigarette smokers. Mostly because I hate the smell and smokers have their sense of smell damaged so much they don't notice. And sometimes when it sticks to their clothing I just can't be around them at all.
Worked with a guy that was a heavy smoker. When the first winter came around I didn't have a good spot to put my jacket. He had a 2 hook cubicle-wall-hang style coat hook. He moved it between our cubicles so I could use it too. I used it once. My jacket reeked at the end of the day.
I also dislike the smell, but I'm a lot more sympathetic to tobacco use than I used to be because stimulants help to correct low executive function and these people are probably managing their disability the only way they know how.
dude holy shit. that actually explains so much about the smokers in my life. they never got the kind of help they needed because when they needed help people just thought they were lazy/stupid. i bet thats where a lot of their negative self talk stems from too. thanks for the new perspective.
All of that plus any "Punisher" logo on clothing or vehicles.
Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.
So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.
I thought you were making this up, but no, we're really exploring new frontiers of cringe
It's also a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. It's like all they know about him is the name and the logo.
dont forget thier lifted giant trucks, that are 1-3feet off the ground. we get it you bought a giant truck to look "masculine" and your wife is a soccer mom and a karen.
100%. I've recently added the "Grunt Style" tshirts to my red flag catalog.
What’s wrong with a black US flag? It’s a discrete way to display the flag no?
Because I'm surely not the only one going 'why would I want change, I paid with plastic': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter
That's also what US Nazis say.
Start asking for bills then. No point in asking for dimes or nickels.
I'm Canadian, they use a black flag up here too. I don't know or care about proper flag usage, I just know if I see a black Canadian flag on someone's car or clothing that they:
It's against flag code and is considered not a proper flag.
At this point in my life I couldn’t care less about the flag code. I just like to be discrete. But as people have pointed out, there are meanings that people are already using it for of which I fundamentally disagree with so….
Good thing I never got around to it
I mean, if it's on clothing, it's not a flag, it's a flag image. Ergo, the flag code doesn't really give a fuck.
Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷♂️
I'm Brazilian and live in a hot coastal city, so I usually pay attention to people wearing hoodies at weird times of the day. Bonus points if they're wearing a hoodie and shorts (it usually mean that guy is concealing something in it, if the guy was actually cold they wouldn't be wearing shorts).
I also tend to be kinda annoyed at people with christian stickers on their cars.
Oh man, you'd hate the Midwest. Aside from the obvious reasons, there's a baffling culture of white dudes who only wear shorts and hoodies no matter the temp outside.
Canadians do this too, and then like flip flops or slip ons with socks. It's a choice..
I'm one of those strange folks, but I'm not wearing a hoodie in the summer lol. For me, it's a compromise between sensory issues and running warm. I hate wearing long pants, and I don't really mind the cold on my legs, so I wear a hoodie to stay warm and shorts to be comfortable. I'm not putting on a show for anyone, but lots of kids in the midwest absolutely do it for attention.
Eh, I wouldn't be concerned about something like that if I lived in the US, here tho having a hoodie and no pants is the telltale sign of some dude up to no good. Hell, the last time some dude tried stealing bikes from our apartment building and we caught him in the act he was actually wearing an orange hoodie and shorts lmao
I work in a bakery. Bakeries are hot as fuck, so I wear shorts. They also open early as fuck, so I’m frequently walking to work sometime between 3:45 and 5:15, when it’s almost always very chilly.
Sweatshirt and shorts is basically my uniform, plus I look annoyed and I’m out in the middle of the night and fully sober. I imagine I’d put off a vibe I’m not intending to for you, lol.
Congrats on being the first response in the top twenty or so comments to not reference politics or religion lol
oh wait you did in the second part, oh well you get a pass. this whole thread is "Wedding like conservatives" which, like, yeah i get it, I don't either, but it's really boring to read
For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.
On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they're a bunch of feckless cowards.
Same if they wear a MAGA hat, have a MAGA bumper sticker, or fly a Trump flag.
I see that sticker and I think is this an actual human capable of empathy?
What, just because they're making it clear it's not "protect & serve", but instead "us vs. them"?
It's The Coward's Swastika ". Pretty much anyone who flies it is racist and a bootlicker. They're just afraid to fly the Nazi or Confederate flag...
i seen so many of them on suvs in a blue area, even on the uniforms of tradespeople who does maitenance for grocery stories, dont want to see it , we already know/.
I can let that one slide if it's on their car. They could be just trying to get out of tickets.
Really really long fake nails. Less judgement and more confusion I suppose. How do you do normal everyday activities?? I'm baffled
my sister wears these and i guess all i can say to your question is “very carefully.” she gets ones with cool designs on them so i guess i understand the hype, would never personally wear em tho. cant even stand normal nail polish on my nails cuz i get the urge to peel them off immediately :(
it takes getting used to for sure. it affects how you type, prepare meals, rummage around in bags, put in contact lenses and/or remove eyelashes/etc. from your eyes, and yes, how you hold the TP when you wipe.
it's a hobby and/or fashion statement, and like many of those it has tradeoffs lol. for me long nails was a job requirement (adult entertainment) that turned into a hobby (i learned to do my own because it eliminated salon costs, then found I enjoyed it artistically)
Cybertruck drivers.
ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn't care (or still fanboi'd over him).
I saw a cybertruck the other day with a "Bought it before we knew Elon was crazy" bumper sticker on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, since I myself was pro-Elon once upon a time, but c'mon. I know not everyone stays plugged into the news cycle, but you didn't know until after you bought the cybertruck?
A certain little moustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but after the war it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one's face in that style nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.
I think it was actually fairly common after WWI, since it's about the only facial hair you can really have with a gas mask.
Because if the way I shave, I'm concerned that I'll have a heart attack just before I finish and I'll be buried looking like Hitler.
TIL Trumps father wore a Hitler mustache until 1950.
After World War II, toothbrush variants were worn by a small number of notable individuals, e.g. American real-estate developer Fred Trump (who wore a split variant), and former president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe (covering only the philtrum).
Trump wore a toothbrush mustache from c. 1935 to 1950, about when it fell out if fashion due yo associations with Adolf Hitler
In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.
But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.
He showed his personality when he accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile while trying to rescue children trapped in a cave.
They told Musk to fuck off when he was insisting that his "submarine" can save the day.
All the money in the world and no brains.
Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking of from 2018.
Musk: "I'll build a submarine to save them, then everyone will love me even more!"
Cave Rescue Expert: "That's not an especially practical solution given the situational needs of this resuce operation."
Musk: "... er... well... pedo!"
and the hyperloop scam was even more unforgivable, basically robbed california of a high speed rail system, which was blocked by trumps 1st term elain chao. and now its just a half-assed attempt with no progression.
ive seen many teslar drivers bought thier regular tesla cars/suvs after musk went full nazi, like 1-2 years after he bought xitter. they know better, but they are very super-ignorant demographic, apparently alot of them in my area when i look into whos drivers, its asians, im asian.(its like a hybrid of ignorant but still aware of the news of the current events and still purchasing said item/services because it previously had brand recognition thats all they cared about, at the same time low info on the politicla spectrum)
Blue line American Flag sticker/apparel, especially if it's set inside the Punisher logo.
Cops most of all, tells me they’re not only an asshole but an asshole who doesn’t even know what Frank Castle is all about despite rocking the logo
MAGA hats, swastika tattoos
I’m amazed nobody has mentioned a confederate flag (or confederate anything) yet. My first assumption would be that they’re racist and proud of it.
At this point that falls in line with MAGA gear to me, which lots of people have mentioned
I try not to judge people for what they're wearing or carrying, but sometimes it's difficult.
Just today, I saw a guy in all black, sunglasses, black cap, etc, standing waving a Don't Tread on Me flag.
Beside a Pride parade.
In Edinburgh, Scotland.
WTAF?
You say some fantastic outfits in Edinburgh. I think it's the inability of the locals to accept that sometimes it's hot. They don't really get the idea.
The best I ever saw was someone wearing shorts, white trainers, and a black bomber jacket. Very much giving off a vibe "it's bloody hot outside but I only own the one coat, so I'm wearing it"
I once saw a man in Tampa Florida riding a BMX bike wearing a full-ass parka, it was about 65 degrees F(18 C). Opposite reason, similar result.
I mean, it was just this one guy (and even he was wearing black cargo shorts) - most people were fully summered up in their attires!
Too much so, im fact, since it started pouring down at one point! 😁
"Don't tread on me because it's really hot and I'm all sweaty in this getup - you could slip on the grease and hurt yourself."
MAGA gear or by association those stupid shirts, hats, and stickers that say “F your feelings” or “we the people have had enough” etc. most people I work and live around that’s there basic fashion and culture.
I haven't seen "we the people have had enough" before, but I feel it's pretty close to being co-opted by the left.
Pants. Conformist cowards.
