    I live less than 2 hours from the Canadian border in one of the most progressive states and there's trucks in town painted red white and blue with 3% logos and the moaning labia shit.

    There's another one with two stickers on the back window "kill your local pedophile" with somebody getting shot execution style and "democrats are pedophiles"

    Everywhere in America 30 minutes outside a major city is like that.

      Yup - northern state, near Canada, usually blue voters. Regularly see thin blue line stickers, confederate flags, punisher skulls, thin blue line themed punisher skulls, “protect our children” slogans n shit…hell I’ve seen at least a couple black suns on cars around here, which is a lot more mask off than I expected (and waaaaaay more alarming)

        Moan abe or however they took it. Means come.and take it apparently it's what the Spartans said to the Persians at Thermopoli.

        An ironic line because if you learned history from something other than a homoerotic Zac Snyder movie you would know the Persians responded with "k" then killed them all

          Molon labe.

          then sparta lost their king, his honor guard, the elite of their army AND a highly defensible pass that they were supposed to be able to hold for months ortega-clap and this all happened in a few days.

      Yeah, those are hillbillies - they are all over the place. Many of them are actually homosexual believe it or not. If we are talking bumper stickers though, can't say I've come across many anti-LGBT ones. Mostly confederate flags and black and white flags with blue stripes all in the generic grab bag of generalized hatred. I stay away from those people / areas as it's just not my crowd, but not sure what this has to do with the safety of LGBT visitors to the US. Linking these stickers to that is a pretty broad sweep.
