Something strange is going on in Ohio. There don't seem to be any bumper stickers. I drive almost 100 miles a day on a major four-lane highway in northern Ohio. In the last two weeks, I saw one Trump bumper sticker in the parking lot of a grocery store, one Trump window-cling on a pickup truck on the highway, and one "I heart Hillary" bumper sticker at a rest stop. That's it. Four years ago, in August 2012, Romney and Obama bumper stickers were plentiful. It's a similar story with yard signs. A handful of Trump signs sprouted up during the primary – rarely more than one or two per small town, and often none at all. I have yet to see a Hillary sign. Last week, as the media piled on Trump following the Democrat convention, I'd had enough, and I pasted a "Trump, Make America Great Again" and a "Never Hillary" bumper sticker (from the Rush Limbaugh website) on my 2002 SUV. Maybe I was also inspired by a classic rock station that reminded this elderly boomer of how it felt to be "Born to Be Wild." My 18-year-old self would have been contemptuous of giving in to fear. I hadn't really been worried about getting my car vandalized, but I was worried about social ostracism by the Democrats in my neighborhood. p>

I have an anti-Hillary sticker on my car.
I was going to buy two bumper stickers for Trump. Two for 5 bucks but shipping was 6.97.
I see Trump yard signs all over Western NY - I have yet to see a hlLIARy sign, only saw on sticker for her on a vehicle
I have had more thumbs up for my anti hitlary signs on my car but in the past two weeks I am getting stares from women.
And all it says is “hitlary, as crooked as her husband’s penis.”
Do you have a “key my car” bumper sticker on your car?
I drove up and down 95 in FL last week. Saw three Trump stickers and zero Hillary. The Trump stickers were on a pickup truck, a Prius, and a sedan.
I have two nice Trump stickers, and as I was getting ready to put them on the back window of my truck I remembered I was going to Austin for a business conference the first week in September -— decided to wait a bit longer before putting them on ‘cuz I ain’t no idiot!!!
If someone wanted to be ornery, they could put Trump stickers on known Hillary supporters to annoy them?
If I ran a local auto body and paint shop, that might be a good way to generate some additional patronage?
For a time I lived next-door to a Teamster. He absolutely delighted in carrying out acts of vandalism against others who were not “with the program”. Vehicles with verboten bumper stickers were one of his favorite targets. He and his Teamster buddies openly bragged about how they could get away with it, “because We’re Teamsters!”
Quite shockingly they appeared to be right about that.
Here in NC “Don’t Tread on Me” Reigns! Guess who benefits from the thousands of these?-)
Occasionally I see an old Obama-Biden sticker. One day a few years ago I saw a woman who had this sticker displayed and I told her with that she is permitted to park in the Handicapped spaces.
I opted out of buying a $10 "Hillary for Prison" bumper sticker from the local Banana Republican Party, partly because it was cheaper on Amazon.
In the last election, they had a local headquarters where one could pick up bumper stickers for everyone from County Assessor to the President. Nothing yet this year.
Or get shot or get attacked with a crowbar. And they call Trumpians fascists.
Can’t believe all the spineless spuds on this forum. My car is brand new and has a Trump sticker. And yes, I park it in enemy territory every day.
I don’t want my car or property damaged, and I don’t want to kill someone unnecessarily for trying..............
Honest fear. I can’t afford problems with my car. The people next door to us wore turbans and one of them was named Muhammed. My son went to a school that was 80% Hispanic. These groups feel like they KNOW Trump hates them. They would assume I hated them.
The media still pushes the meme that Trump is racist because he doesn’t want illegals or terrorists here. These lying curs HOPE our cars get vandalized. I’ve only seen 2 Trump stickers. They were both on trucks with big tough guys driving, and one of them also had an NRA sticker.
This is the first election year ever that I didn’t have a sticker. I wish I had one but I am not that courageous.
Most Trumpers prefer no vandalism and Personal safety over bumper stickers.
I had empty booze bottles in front of my tires at an airport parking lot by someone thinking it would puncture my tires. I’m assuming it was my NRA sticker.
Have seen six large yard signs for Trump, one tiny yard sign for Clinton and no bumper stickers for either.
There used to be a lot of Bernie bumper stickers but they are all gone.
Agreed - this will be an election with very few bumper stickers - Hopefully Trump will win and defeat the DNC & the Media
