Most of us have gone into "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick" mode. We keep our heads down and say nothing, but you can bet on election day we'll be pulling out the big stick and voting for Trump.
“That’s because it can literally cost you your livelihood (and in a few cases even your life). You see stories everyday about someone getting fired because they made an innocent and perfectly reasonable comment about not supporting BLM or liking President Trump, or opposing some leftist scheme, or retweeted something from the wrong person. Things that a decade ago you could have said and nobody would have batted an eye. It’s just not worth taking the chance if you have a good paying corporate job, you make the wrong offhand comment that somebody overhears and suddenly your career is in the toilet.”

I learned the lesson about bumper stickers when I had GW stickers on the front and back of my OJ Simpson Bronco. I got stopped 3 times in our home city/area by female cops for pure BS reasons. I didn’t get tickets as I told the 3 of them I would see them in court to defend my no tickets. Two of them my wife was with me and helped to back down the cops.
On time backing up in the parking lot of our library my wife yelled stop. This old left wing hag had pulled behind my Bronco and stopped. I got out to tell her to move and she gave me the finger. I reached the window and turned off her motor and took her keys.
One woman also with GW stickers had called the cops and was outside yelling at the old liberal.
We were a walking distance from the police station, and 2 cops walked over. The woman with the pro GW stickers said that the hag had been doing that in various parking lots. The cops had her vehicle towed away. I gave them, her keys.
Later that day, the hag’s son (actually a nice guy) asked me not to press charges. I told him that unless his mother gave him the keys, and they sold her car, I was pressing charges.
She stopped driving.
I had one more event, a female CHP stopped my wife and I on route 101 for speeding. My wife handled that one. As the CHP drove away, she and I got out and removed the GW stickers. I haven’t been stopped nor ticketed since then.
