F deplorables they are brainwashed racist maggot slaves to Fox "news".

We better reach the huge mass of non hater socialist leaning Americans out there that don't vote at all. They can be reached and persuaded.

The deplorables will cling to their fuhrer even as he totally destroys them like the good little nazis pigs they are.

Those kinds of people are such hypocritical pigs, there's no reasoning with them. Fueled by pure hate, even to their own detriment:

1. I guess he doesn't like health care for him or his family
2. I guess he doesn't love America, since we are theoretically a democracy and our election was subverted by a murderous dictator.
3. I guess he doesn't like clean air or water.

I got criticized for not starting a big argument in a church, but some of these people aren't worth the time. I think we need to focus on the majority of the population that don't vote in elections because they think it doesn't affect them.

I saw that exchange between the person who posted this on twitter and a follower (who seems to be a friend?) and thought it was an interesting point that the follower made. The rude bumper sticker is obviously going to get a rise out of some people. Isn't that part of the idea behind putting it on the bumper in the first place?

We have these stickers:
Tolerance
No new taxes - just make the wealthy pay theirs
The needs of the 99% outweigh the greed of the 1%
ALL lives matter (letters in black, white, red, yellow, & brown) Yeah, I know this has been distorted by the right.
Democat (with silhouette of cat in red, white, & blue)

We have gotten only positive comments. But we live in southwest New Mexico, in a county where 3/4 of the primary ballots were Democratic. And where a couple of business that sported trump & other republican banners are now displaying signs for state & local Democratic candidates.

So, show your stickers. And watch your back in Mississippi.

“You’re a sucker.

Billionaires lied to you. And you believed them.

You and your kids will be paying back that $3 trillion tax cut for the rest of your lives.

The Koches and GOP billionaires are laughing at you and so is the president.

Sucker.”



“Sucker” has a very effective impact on the deplorables. Especially if you tell them how GOP billionaires suckered them. The amount of impotent sputtering you get back in return is highly amusing.

But the Magats have mostly embraced hate.
There’s two big ways to get to them, as you say

1. You’re harming America (by voting for Republicans and listening to GOP propaganda media like fox and Limbaugh)

2. You’re a sucker. No one likes feeling like a sucker. But it’s true. They got suckered.

The $3T tax cut is a $30,000 car for every household in America.

Everyone in America just put a $30,000 car on a credit card. And they don’t get the car! The Koches get the car.

Good job, Republican voters. Suckers.
