I saw a car with a Gadsen flag bumper sticker today. [View all]

.

It caught my attention partly because it's very unusual to see any kind of bumper stickers on cars around here. I don't think I saw a single one during the entire 2024 election cycle, for any candidate. As a result, this one really jumped out at me.

I've been trying to figure out exactly what message this thing is intended to convey. I seem to recall seeing at least one of these flags on January 6.

Is this sticker a way of saying the car's owner is a Trumper without actually using the Orange One's name? If so, fuck that guy.

It was co-opted by the right wing. It now has a new implied meaning. Gore1FL Nov 12 #13
