This is a pretty funny bit, but 99% of people just see this bumper sticker and think "Another MAGA fuckhead". There's committing to the bit, and then there's whatever this is.

If you live in like a 90% red area, this is pretty solid camoflage. Then the MAGA fuckheads are less likely to mess with you, but you're not actually offering support.

but you're not actually offering support.

You are offering support though, because you are adding to Trump's popularity.

If you live in a 90% red area, a singular bumper sticker in the massive wave of similar, dumber stickers is a drop in the bucket.

That's just it though; every drop counts. It's no more "just a drop" than our actual votes are.

It's also like how people refuse to leave Twitter. "Everyone else is there! How could my leaving make any difference?"

And on top of that, someone who meets you could get the wrong idea.
If i met someone who had this i would immediately write them off and never bring it up.

My point is that particular drop is more likely to be seen as red than blue.

If you live in a 90% red area, don't spend money on this. Save every penny until you can gtfo.

Also couldn’t you just not have any bumper sticker? Isn’t that sufficient “camouflage”? Or if you are not actively defacing your own property you are a libtard?

I'm surprised nobody has offered the old "sacrifice your entire life to help make it purple" gem of wisdom.
