I work right outside the DC area - and I see those little hybirds fly down the road w/ Obama stickers on them...
I have seen them cut there way into traffic w/out a turn signal - pushy people...but yes - i guess that they think they are on the side of progressive movements - that resolves them from treating otehrs with respect...
...they do not lead as an example to follow - that’s for sure!
Oddly enough I was almost mowed down in a crosswalk in Rosslyn this morning by a woman in a Prius. I had a walk signal, but she still scowled at me when I stared at her.
