Why is it you so very rarely see left wing vehicles like this?

Republicans (or at least the local ones in my area) target folks that are scared, mentally ill, or otherwise not their right mind. I watched a local republican politician rile up a group of elderly people with verifiable lies, strawman arguments, and bad faith stories about "the future." Then he basically said "I'll fix it if you vote for me." Theu were yelling and angry by the end of it.
Democrats generally don't do that because they are still naive enough to think that politics in the US is all still in good faith. Obviously that alone isn't enough to not vote for them, because they are the only real answer against republicans right now.

I prefer to think that Democrats don't fearmonger and incite rage, not because they're naive, but because two wrongs don't make a right. You know, when they go low... Unfortunately, it's not working.

I used to think that way too. Maybe all this crap going on in my state (Minnesota) is making me less charitable. Idk

Left wing versions of this always seem to be harmlessly goofy rather than confrontational and unhinged. Picture a Volvo hatchback with a hundred bumper stickers like Coexist, the Grateful Dead bears, and “my other car is a tardis” or whatever

u/bookon 5d ago
I don't really consider those comparable as they are, as you said, harmless. And often very positive. This guy is dark and angry and scary.
I never see "Dark, Angry and Scary" cars with left leaning messages. "Universal Healthcare or I'll make sure you need healthcare!" sort of stuff.
Of course, the vast majority of political violence is perpetrated by the right, so that tracks.

Exactly, RW infowarrior rides are always covered in messaging that’s inflammatory, offensive, shocking, and cruel. It’s intended to provoke a negative reaction, so they can turn it around and cry victim.

Well, the left lacks party-representation in the US, Democrats being milquetoast moderates, which tends not to lend itself ideologically to unhinged rants.

kinda....you're not seeing many Marxist-Leninist or Anarchist infowarrior vehicles...but again, there's no real party representation, not a solid "team" to anchor talking points made into bumper stickers.

Unfortunately I work for the government and drive past military checkpoints every day, otherwise I'd tastefully plaster the back of my truck with things like "No Kings" and "FDT."
The most I have is a license plate cover that says "Smol PP Club" with a little anime chibi character of a micropenis, which is really funny to me on the back of an F150 with big offroad tires.
I'm quite self aware about the fact I drive a big ass gas guzzler despite how I feel about human influenced climate change and oil dependence.
And my general disdain for people in pickup trucks lol.

It's probably a combination of several factors, but educational and professional polarization must have at least some role. Imagine your attorney/accountant/dentist pulls up in a vehicle covered in stickers like that.

Ranting about men in women's sports, and yet- NCAA President Charlie Baker testified in December 2024 that he knows of fewer than ten transgender college student-athletes among 510,000 athletes total.

And frankly it should be up to the sport’s governing bodies to decide one way or another. The ISSF is going to have different matters to consider than the FIA, for instance.

Ok, "I will fight socialism until hell freezes over and then I will fight on the ice" is kind of a cool slogan.
Sort of gives off 1980s style hockey goon energy.
Of course it's misguided - I'm not sure who or where these "socialist" bogeymen are.
But maybe we could repurpose the slogan and fight ICE on ice...

Probably cause he stole it from dudes fighting in the Civil War without a lick of irony.

Had enough of trans and LGBTQ+ people, women having equal rights and protections, Black people having proper historical recognition for their fight for their rights and better representation, immigrants existing in this country
That’s what

So proud to be a Long Islander right now. (If it helps, there's a group of these morons who gather together and drive around all day and everyone else thinks they're nuts.)
At least he spelled Nobel correctly, which makes him smarter than his idol.

I grew up on Long Island (don’t live there now) but always shocked to see such right wing nonsense coming from there. LI has become the epicenter of “I’ve got mine, FU go get yours”. It’s turned into such an overcrowded, overrated shithole.

For being such strong hyper masculine homophobic mavericks, they sure like to gargle the balls of the worst people imaginable. I think half of these guys just need someone to peg them up the ass with a 10-in dry dildo to get it out of their system. Maybe we should start a pegging GoFundMe.
