May his Cadillac get buried in Yak shit

Palm Beach County, FL isn't exactly redneckville, but there are assholes who are proud as hell of voting for Trump. This Caddy SUV was decorated with a Trump MAGA sticker, and there was a large American flag flying from it.

I don't know which I hate worse, Trump bumper stickers, or people who fly American flags on their cars to tell us what great patriots they are.

The new Cadillac SUV indicates it's someone who has money, so he/she/it probably liked Trump's tax-cut crap.

Why is it that if we Dems put a sticker on our cars we get keyed, but Republicans can wear their politics out in the open with no down side? Could it be because we're better human beings than they are? ... Naahhh.

There's some total ass down here who drives a pickup and has a huge American Flag and a huge Confederate flag anchored somehow in the truck bed.

I am grateful that this behaviour is on the decline in AZ, no rump propaganda on vehicles.

If the offender is flauting his 'buy America" with just a slogan and a Caddie, it is Yak shit indeed.

You voted for that asshole who colluded with a hostile foreign power intent on destroying the government from within? You are not a patriot.

a "More patriotic than thou" fixation. The Republican Party has pushed this bullshit for as long as I can remember.

So what if Colin Kaepernick takes a knee during the national anthem? He's exercising his first amendment rights which apply to every living citizen in this country. So what if you have a plastic American flag on your car window and blast Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood music 24/7 and carry a giant AK-47 with you at all times? That doesn't make you any more patriotic than the other guy. But the difference? You both have the right to free speech and free expression as dictated by the United States constitution. But when the guy who claims to be a "patriot" tries to suppress the speech of the guy who takes a knee, you forfeit your right to be a patriot.
