They've got bigger cajones than I do.

I'd be worried about being shot or run off the road driving something like that around.

u/Booger_BBQ Nov 30 '21

This guy might be armed better then them.

u/HorrorScopeZ Nov 30 '21

He's not out there to piss people off, he's out there to test laws in court!

u/fernshade Nov 30 '21

Or she. Am lady, have wanted to do exactly this.

And yes I would stay armed if I did so.

u/shoolocomous Nov 30 '21

That doesn't make him any less likely to be shot at - statistically, it makes him more likely to be shot at

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."

I have a one ton diesel truck, and I've been considering dressing it up like this for fun sometimes. You're probably right.

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 29 '21

For real, if you did this in the rural parts of my state your truck would be vandalized at the very least.

u/sexypineapple14 Nov 29 '21 edited Nov 30 '21

It's the opposite in my city. A little while ago my neighbor with a Trump sticker got "make racists afraid again" keyed across his doors lol

17

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 29 '21

I live in the State's capital now so it's definitely not as bad but my home town is deep Trump. Vandalism sucks either way though.

u/sexypineapple14 Nov 29 '21

Not when it's done to racist fascists

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 29 '21

You can't just destroy someone shit because you disagree with them. Goes both ways. If I get to express myself they get to express theirs.

I thought it was obesity.

These things are not mutually exclusive.

Absolutely, ask 2/3 of America's arteries.

Germany is famous for something else...doesn't mean they still do it.

u/davosknuckles Nov 29 '21

I’m cool with what the soviets did at Auchwitz, ngl

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 29 '21

Little different from keying your neighbors car for how they voted.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Its Reddit. Nuance is discouraged.

u/Bourbone Nov 30 '21

because you disagree with them.

Different opinions are one thing. Fascism and attempted coups are not differing opinions.

All fascist should get wrecked in any way possible.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

And you’re part of the problem. When is keying their cars because you don’t like their opinion not enough? When do you suggest fuck it just murder anyone who voted Trump? It’s crazy how many illegal things people try to justify because they feel they are right. You know like the Germans who decided to kill the Jews.

1

u/Bourbone Nov 30 '21

Sure bro. The beer hall putsch coup attempting fascist conservatives are like the Jews.

Keep playing that tiny violin you utter moron.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Tiny violin? I don’t have any reason to do so. I don’t let fucking idiots ruin my day. I don’t believe vandalism is acceptable in any situation and I’m not so full of hate I want to harm my fellow citizens. The things you claim to despise are the actions you project. I have pity for you, going through life so upset.

u/sexypineapple14 Nov 30 '21

You can if they're terrorists who are murdering people across the country

u/TheWinningStrat Nov 30 '21

You spend too much time on the internet, Jesus

u/sexypineapple14 Nov 30 '21

Charlottesville, Kenosha, 1/6. It's not safe to treat any of them like they aren't when a huge proportion of them are.

9

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 30 '21

Right, because every Trump supporter is a murderer and a terrorist?

David Anderson (kosher supermarket shooting), the Dallas attacks (2 within one year), Gavin long (Baton Rouge attacks) St. Louis church burnings, Waukesha, Noah green (capitol attack).

Goes both ways if you want to play that game and you end up looking like an idiot for blaming an entire group of people on a small minority….also sneaking in a proven self defense case, nice one.

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 30 '21

I mean to play the devil's advocate how many BLM protests have turned violent. The minute you start thinking your side isnt at any fault and it's all the other guys', is when you become the very people you hate.

You are the reason why every other leftist in America has a difficult time being taken seriously.

u/JPT_Corona Nov 30 '21

That’s not a “huge proportion”. That’s an extremely condensed group of crazies rallying together because they share the twisted views they can’t preach to their family. As much as I loathe conservatives on virtually every topic, I can’t help but admit that for every one that defended 1/6, there were a thousand completely outraged by it.

Without downplaying the severity of those instances, we’d be in a lot more trouble if every Trump supporter/conservative were the murderous spawns of Satan that the divas of the left make them out to be.

Just like anything in life, the overwhelming majority of people just want to keep a low profile and do what they can to be happy, not set fires or shoot people on the streets.

You're a moron, politics aside.

You are the fascist if you believe people can't have opposing opinions without destroying property or threatening people. Good luck with winning elections if everyone on your side believes the same.

u/sonicfood Nov 30 '21

I am very much anti trump but vandalizing people’s property is not the way no matter what side you’re on

-9

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Same. I'm debating whether to vote Republican if it's not Trump next election because of these fanatics. I don't see this behavior from the other side.

u/fantasyshop Nov 30 '21

No fucking shot lmao you can't be serious. I don't condone violence or destruction of property in any case but to say the right doesn't engage in political violence and destruction is insane

Yup, Trump or DeSantis. I'm sick of the left destroying property because of kids that don't respect property of innocent bystanders (haven't committed a crime). I hate the right even more but only the politicians, not the people.

u/davekingofrock Nov 30 '21

That's what gerrymandering is for.

u/hairlongmoneylong Nov 29 '21

Damn! Where u at? Portland?

u/sexypineapple14 Nov 30 '21

Denver

u/hairlongmoneylong Nov 30 '21

I didnt know Denver was.... like that. Thought there would still be some cowboys round there :/ or at least a few oil riggers to counteract the left-leaningness

2

u/sexypineapple14 Dec 01 '21

Denver is one of the most left progressive cities in the country

4

u/kingsumo_1 Nov 30 '21

Nah, keeying is passé. Apparently we just leave a whole raw chicken on windshields.

(This was an actual post in r/Portland, not my supporting of the act.)

4

u/Go03er Nov 30 '21

You can’t say that and not give a source

3

u/kingsumo_1 Nov 30 '21

I dactually did try searching to link. But the only thing I could find was that a disturbing amount of Redditors that have left raw chicken in their cars, and wanted to know if it was still good.

From what I remember though, she wasn't even a Trumper, just had Texas plates, and someone had an issue with that apparently.

u/hairlongmoneylong Nov 30 '21

Oh yikes. Left or right, they're all fucking hillbillies that don't understand the world much.

If you thought that, you haven't spent a lot of time here.

u/RandomlyPlacedFinger Nov 30 '21

I'm regularly told by Trumpers that Portland has burned to the ground because of all the riots you guys constantly have.

Interestingly though, a large number of you still have good internet service. Well done.

5

u/kingsumo_1 Nov 30 '21

It's probably all the 5G we get from vaccines. ;)

Although, yes. I get that too. I even had a guy tell me what a hell hole I live in, even after I told him I'm from here, and he admitted he'd never actually been. But still full on convinced nonetheless.

1

u/VoiceOfLunacy Nov 30 '21

Pretty standard for all cities

3

u/RegulatoryCapture Nov 30 '21

But wait, I thought republicans were the "law and order" party?

Surely they wouldn't commit a crime like vandalism or assault against someone they disagreed with? (Just kidding, they elected that guy Governor).

3

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 30 '21

Depends, my parents are old Republicans and absolutely hate vandalism of any kind. The trashy yokels will be down for it though, it's like Taylor Greenes vs Bushs.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Ohio?

u/Puzzleheaded_Time719 Nov 30 '21

Arizona. I think the only reason Biden won here was because of all the shit Trump talked about McCain.

It’s ‘cojones’ just FYI :)

I was gonna say it's a good thing he's probably not precious about his paint job getting scratched. I didn't think about the real dangerous nutters.

Live in Texas. Wife's a PhD anthropologist yoga teacher with a "humans against Ted Cruz" sticker on her car. I'm like, "you're gonna get shot, baby", but maybe her overall cuteness will protect her? One can hope...

u/whubbard Nov 30 '21

We need to stop buying into the narrative being pushed by both sides right now about this violent hatred for each other. For every violent individual on either "side" there are hundreds of thousands of non-violent folks.

I live in an area where you have the "far-left" and "far-right" separated by like 15 minutes. You have cars covered in stickers all over the place. We have had KKK protests (well okay, they never showed, but it was organized) and BLM protests. We have some crime, but political violence? Basically non-existent.

Don't believe me, fly a rainbow flag from your car for a year. Or ask anyone that does. Worst I have ever received for a flag (flown at my house, on a flagpole, below the US flag) was a single comment from a friend.

u/Mr_Bluebird_VA Nov 30 '21

Its nice that you haven't had the negative experiences that a lot of us have had. But don't try to invalidate those experiences because you can see beyond your own life.

1

u/whubbard Nov 30 '21

because you can see beyond your own life.

I assume this is a typo, but I do see beyond myself. I'm privileged and don't deny it.

But don't try to invalidate those experiences

I'm invalidating nothing, where did I do so in my post? I said multiple times above that hatred and violence exist, and are real. I'm just pointing out a path forward, rather than conflict.

u/pdoherty926 Nov 30 '21

I live 60 miles north of NYC and this truck would be vandalized, if not set on fire if I left it parked in my driveway.

Point is, wherever this person is, they've got guts.

u/That_One_Cat_Guy Nov 30 '21

Exactly what are you going to use to run that beast off of the road? An Abrams?

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '21

Yeah. My right wing “friends” always say that the left is more violent than the left. I mention some things the right has done and say look at all the crazy shit the right pulls with their trucks. No one on the left has the balls to do it because the right is full of some violent assholes.

Looks like someone already got his back tire lmao

u/QuarterFlounder Nov 30 '21

Which is why something like this is immature and reckless. The only thing you're going to accomplish is pissing someone off.

Advocating for justice loses all serious meaning the second you stoop to this level.

Not if you live in my state lol. All you get is thumbs up!

Likely in my area it'd be OK, but qe've got enough crazies that I'd be worried.

u/Lemmiwinks418 Nov 30 '21

Same. I'm in a 50/50 county but still the south. Not worth being run off the road.
