The "I Did That" Stickers at Gas Stations

They are everywhere where I live - and I live in a Blue State - not just at gas pumps but in the supermarket next to price signs........they raise sort of a goofy but somewhat serious question too:

When did the Right Wing become so um - not witty........but ......snarky or this cleverly subversive (stretching the meaning of "cleverly" here).......with this and the "Let's Go Brandon" thing ..........I can't remember the Republican Party ever being "hip" - if this is hip (again stretching it) I mean......like.......ever in American history?

What's interesting about it - is that literally is a destruction (sort of) of property - a very non-Conservative idea - and what those people will say is "Fnck you, Black Lives Matter rioters (not protestors)" (or Antifa - they actually do exist) burned half of this town down and looted too".......the flipside of that is the anti-Trump people literally would say "Fnck Trump" - no euphemism at all, it was direct and logical .......this not so much on the surface at least........that's telling I think - the country is center-Right atm, I think you could say normally it's center-Left .......the people spreading the stickers see themselves and are acting like a radical minority politically ...........which is just odd

It makes you wonder that if the Right dominates mid-terms if their behavior will then become less jokey and more.....overtly aggressive actually (and yes I know some of it is quite aggressive too - but I mean if we won't see this "just a joke" aspect as much)

It’s kinda funny to me and a good example of why losing the election was the best thing that could’ve happened to trump. Idk how much of a factor inflation is playing in terms of rising gas prices compared to the energy policies of the Biden admin but inflation is indeed a big factor and the inflation problem is trump’s creation, but the admin wants to blame Russia for inflation + gas prices and pass up a golden opportunity to blame trump when the cataclysmic mess actually is his doing. The one time they pass up the opportunity to blame trump is when they should be hitting him harder than they ever have. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Biden isn’t the one who authorized the federal reserve to print over half the dollars in existence 2 years ago to bail out fucking airlines and other businesses too stupid to keep a rainy day fund while everyone else was bribed with a stimmy to go along with the plan no questions asked. Anyone who’s taken a basic economics class should’ve been able to easily tell you how this would inevitably end

Trump will be back in 2024.   Might as well just accept it at this point.... that goes for the deniers and overly hopeful people too.

pacinoyes - Do you live in a rural area, though? That seems to be the real deciding factor.

Live in suburban Maryland, just about 20 minutes from Baltimore with traffic, and I see them at about half the gas stations nearby.

I said in regards to Trump in one of the covid threads that the economy is a "no excuses" area with voters. If the economy is bad and you're in charge it's your fault, Trump couldn't blame covid and Biden can't blame Trump or Russia now. To be honest I think Russia is a better excuse since nothing comes off as lamer than trying to blame your predecessor for everything, even if it actually his fault in some circumstances.
