In reply to the discussion: Car at a local super market with AWESOME bumper stickers [View all]Fritz Walter
(4,373 posts)On a weekend getaway to a resort area -- which I shall not name -- I had to park next to a car with a splattering of reich-wing nut-job stickers, not just on the bumper but all over the driver's side. I won't go into the details, but I was really tempted to break out my Sharpie and color-in the "T" on at least one of the stickers. But I knew that vandalism -- however slight or well-intentioned -- is wrong, and would only strengthen this Neanderthal's resolve to watch Faux Snooze, listen to Limpballs and other AM-radio blowhards, and possibly whine on social media or other web sites about he was being persecuted. A well-placed hocker had to suffice.
In this same resort town, I walked deliberately past a souvenir store that was peddling "He won. Get over it!" stickers. This same coastal town lost 70 shrimp boats last summer during Hurricane Irma. If it wasn't for tourism, it'd be a ghost town by now. Leave that to sea-level rising.
What does it take to get the point across that they're on the wrong side of political/social/economic/meteorological events? (That's a rhetorical question -- I'd rather not tempt the fates more than I already have by posing that query).
