In 1964 - during the Goldwater-LBJ election - I tacked that same bumper sticker to the public bulletin board at my Dad's resort hotel.
A day or two later, my Dad said I had to take it down because guests were complaining.
I was old enough to understand that hotel guests were our family's livelihood, so I took it down.
I also had a six foot by six foot outdoor portrait of Barry Goldwater that I and three of my friends took off the roof of the Goldwater Campaign HQ in my home town, after the election.
We carried the portrait by bike - one guy on each corner - more than a mile to my family's home.
I put it at the top of the stairs to our second floor kids room.
For the next 20 years, anyone who walked in our garage door was greeted by this huge Goldwater portrait at the top of the stairs.

I mentioned on another thread that I have been surprised by Rubio. I thought he was a snake. Didn’t like him at all.
But he seems to realize that his best path to a future is to hitch his wagon to Trump and subjugate him to Trump’s cause.
And I like what see in this version of Rubio. Almost (but not quite) as well spoken as Vance, and seems to be all in on Trump’s agenda.
Too bad the stupid worthless scumbags complained and you father needed their money as guests.
Little Marco is comfortable around the man with the little hands.
This whole relationship is a crackup!
Yes it was Fake News. Trump didn't fire Waltz.
But in the scheme of all things MAGA, a UN ambassadorship is not a very important job.
Vance may have to pick a VP before 2028, if the Democrats manage to get Trump before then. I expect them to keep trying.

Congrats to the new ambassador—you have a budget of zero dollars!
Lol.
Ha! Yup.
