You should try being liberal in a red state. I've had people try to run me off of the road for an Obama sticker before. It's not social isolation here, it's straight up aggression.
- JSONwebtoken 9y agoYou are aware of what you're doing and the reactions it will incite. What do you think happens to parked cars with MAGA stickers in California? Well you don't have to wonder, there are more than enough "social experiments" on youtube documenting this subject matter.
- jimbokun 9y ago"You are aware of what you're doing and the reactions it will incite." Kind of like the girl who wears a mini-skirt and gets raped?
- ams6110 9y agoWhy do you jump to that when we're talking about reactions to bumper stickers expressing a political point of view?
- plandis 9y agoYou're effectively arguing that you know (and possibly deserve) any reaction you get out of having a certain opinion. Justifying that with "well, it happens to others" is not great. You political opinions should never be justification for harm. As the person whose post that was deleted mentioned, this is effectively the same type of argument as saying: "well, you know what will happen if you wear a sexy short skirt alone late at night". In either case you don't deserve violence.
- holtalanm 9y agoI was going to say. Living as a Red in a Blue state isn't much different than living as a Blue in a Red state. And I'm sitting here without any official party to call my own because I think both are idiotic with their identity politics. Which can be worse half the time because the Republicans think I'm a liberal, and the Democrats think I'm a conservative. (this coming from someone living in a red state).
