Where's the Bumper Stickers??

Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Mon Aug 22 10:28:06 2016

fiogf49gjkf0d
Just completed an almost cross country drive, (Coraopolis Pa. to Yellowstone & back) & have not spotted one single bumper sticker for either Hillary or Donald. Having just turned 65 this past July, I've seen many presidential campaigns over the years & they've had many bumper stickers for various candidates of varying degrees of humor & accuracy. This time around, there just not there.
Just another sign of voter lack of enthusiasm for either candidate IMO.
Anyone else make a similar observation?

BTW Yellowstone is beautiful. Everybody should go there at least once. But with the Grizzlys, Wolves & Bison etc out there, Simply put, when your enjoying the beauty, you have to be on your toes. Its not Disneyland.

I think actually more people get scalded in hot pools than mauled by animals.

Though I agree some people have strange ideas about appropriate photo ops with bison.

It's a beautiful place, well worth the trip. Keeping to the trails is best way to stay safe.

Yes, the park ranger mauled to death by a grizzly last month while biking on a trail proves your point, perfectly

Maybe. It could also be that more people don't want to put stupid sticky sh*t on their bumpers anymore.

+1. I'd put a Hillary bumper sticker on my car if I had a shitty, scratched up/dented bumper that I wasn't worried about damaging further.

"Though I agree some people have strange ideas about appropriate photo ops with bison."

Oh yeah. I've seen tourists take selfies with the Bison. Piss them off & one swift move of the head with those horns & you could wind up with a gender identity crises.

BTW if a ranger catches you doing that its a thousand dollar fine.

In suburban Long Island, the most prevalent bumper sticker of 2016 has disappeared. It said "Bernie." I'm glad there aren't many stickers out there because some can get very insulting. One fellow in Bellmore has a cartoon drawing of Hillary on a bumper sticker with the message "Trump that Bitch!"
---
Near the office of Pete King in Massapequa Park, sometimes you see a parked car with "Hillary Lies." I suspect it is someone on his staff. Hardly one in a thousand cars has a political sticker. Maybe the car owners don't want to be branded as stupid or weird. I predict that southeast Nassau will vote for Trump, but in 2012 Pete lost even his own Election District to Obama.
---
The few Hillary stickers I saw just have her name.
---
I did see a sticker, "Trump, the new T.R."

I used to see tons of H-> stickers during the primaries, I'd say 40/60 split with Bernie. Now? I see almost none. Trying to find a good Gary Johnson bumper magnet but they all kindof suck. I suppose that's representative of the candidate they'd be advertising but at least I wouldn't be inviting demonic possession like a Trump or Hillary one would...

Same goes for a Hillary bumper sticker on your car. In this political climate, it's a good idea not to let the general public know who you are supporting, unless you want your car keyed, tires slashed or windshield cracked.

Point well taken. Some of that "stupid sticky sh*t" that is used for bumper sticker glue at times seems like the strongest adhesive known to mankind, very difficult to remove. Often the sticker outlasts the car.

There's a white section in Schenectady called the "Bellevue" neighborhood by where GE is. They don't mess around, they put Trump signs (huge ones) in their house windows. Lawn and 4x4's aren't enough.

Fortunately, don't live anywhere near rednecks. (grin)

So you'd need to show how incidents of vandalism related to bumper stickers have increased significantly vs. prior elections. Then you'd have something, maybe.

Huh? No goal posts were moved. I never doubted that people vandalize cars with candidate bumper stickers. I doubted it was the reason for why you think you see fewer candidate bumper stickers than in the past. Very big distinction. The articles you posted only address the former (which I never doubted) but not the latter (which I did doubt).
