I know little to no Latin, and so I can credibly plead ignorance to its meaning. The phrase mentions no one by name. Pretty nebulous, by any standard.

I like it. It's also on the state flag of Virginia. Thus Always to Tyrants.

"What kind of trouble does anyone think I can get into just by displaying this on my car?"

I cannot foresee any consequences that could possibly arise. No harassment or predicament of any sort. This is a totally innocuous exercise of free speech and should raise nary an eyebrow or even engender a second glance.

By the way - Can I have your stuff?

(Seriously - If you're worried about drawing adverse attention to yourself for your political position, what the hell are you doing posting *here*?)

Then why did you choose it?

“Sic Semper Tyranus!” is also what John Wilkes Booth shouted after shooting Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s theater. He said it after leaping from the President’s balcony and landing on the stage below, incidentally, breaking his leg in the process.

Just say you got it from the Virginia flag.

Of course, that's what John Wilkes Booth said after he killed President Lincoln.

It means “Thus, always to tyrants.”

It is reportedly what John Wilkes Booth said after he shot Lincoln.

It would likely be taken as a call to assassinate the President.

I’d find something else, myself.
