    Every time I see one of these stickers on a lifted Dodge Cummins diesel, I always think to myself “what is it you can’t say that you really want to?” Then I realize they’re just mad because they can’t say the N-word any more.

      People think it isn’t like that, but it is. Pain turned to hate, projected outward.

          The suffering we all endure, without the means to understand or navigate it. They project their hate for society into others.

      It’s crazy how many black people I see with this sticker.

        I’ve noticed that as well and I’m of the opinion that it’s half people who actually feel they’re oppressed and the other half are trying to seem less threatening to police.

          I can confirm I got pulled over way less when my car came with a police union sticker shadow I couldn’t remove, and when I was their demeanor changed when they approached the vehicle from behind.

          Because it’s been adopted by the conservatives. Sucks because it’s an awesome flag. Now it’s basically a “Try that in a small town” sticker.

          It’s a visual representation of support for conservative bullshit. People who don’t support that nonsense shouldn’t use their symbols because it makes it seem like those ideas have more support than they actually do, which emboldens conservatives.
