“bumper sticker would be good, I figured, but I suspect that a bumper sticker critical of the ruling junta in Washington would get my car vandalized, and maybe worse”.
I saw a bumper sticker yesterday (two actually, on the same car) and it said “someone should b!+ch slap Harry Reid. The other one said Impeach Pelosi. I gave the guy a thumbs up. I don’t think he was worried about being vandalized. He was driving a beater.
Beaters are subject to tire harassment.
