Non-American here. I've seen tonnes of cars that are clearly unstable Trump supporters. Are there any examples of this sort of behaviour with Harris/Biden plastered all over their cars?

Not really. I saw something similar to this during Obama, but the amount of crazy was next to zero.

The problem today is that these MAGA assholes are getting increasingly violent, to the point that it's starting to get dangerous to even have a simple Harris bumper sticker, let alone a car that was like this. The chilling effect of not prosecuting and punishing these domestic terrorists is already being felt in purple states.

The internet has also given assholes an easy way to find each other I suppose. Social media is a blessing and a curse.

I actually DO remember seeing a Obama car with the same crazy style of writing. They were pro-Obama because the Iraq war was such a shit show and they hated Bush, and felt concerned that Republicans would continue bombing the Middle East.

I regret not being able to find the photo. It was like seeing a unicorn.

But absolutely the crazies definitely lean far into the right.

In general, no. But you have to understand the level of Trump's personality cult.

I have seen numerous vehicles like this here in Florida, and if there's any mention of politics (sometimes they're just religious), then it's always Trump.

I can only conclude that something about Trump's paranoid and hateful speeches appeals to people who suffer from constant delusions that everyone is out to get them.
