If you don’t understand just how red some of the ‘burbs and rural areas of Mass. are, you’re not paying attention.


wax__idiotic

I moved from a “red town” in Mass to a very blue area of Texas (in early 2021, before things went really off the rails). I don’t see Trump propaganda anymore unless I head out to the countryside. And even then people aren’t nearly as aggressive about it. It’s like the republicans in Massachusetts feel like they need to overcompensate, and it makes things so much more contentious. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the politics here, but most people seem to keep their beliefs to themselves, especially when interacting with strangers. I fully expected the opposite, but that hasn’t happened yet. I hope my vote can make a difference down here.


daddysaidyeah

To be honest, I think it’s a people thing. I lived in MA for the first 25 years of my life and have since traveled to all but 5 of the 50 states. I couldn’t believe how polite everyone is elsewhere (like the south) It makes sense for politics even more that typical mass residents are more rude and less accepting of other beliefs.


mycofunguy804

I'm queer and I've never been treated "politely" by conservative southerners. Quiet the opposite.


Generic_E_Jr

What I’ve found in rural Northwest Indiana, is that so many people are convinced that Trump opponents are rude, elitist, crazy, and out-of-touch, that if you come across as a normal person, you’ll be assumed to be a Trump supporter and treated nicely.


wax__idiotic

I think that may be the assumption outside of the major cities here. My husband and I have an RV, so we occasionally find ourselves in more rural areas. We’re respectful and kind to strangers, so maybe they make assumptions about our beliefs, but we’re definitely liberal. I just don’t have the energy or mental fortitude to argue with everyone who might not agree with me. Also, I’d like to believe that most people are “good”, and maybe just misled into following someone who doesn’t have their best interests in mind.


wax__idiotic

I’d like to think I’m pretty accepting of other folk’s opinions, as long as they’re not bigoted in some way. I have friends and family that vote red, but still hold a lot of liberal views back in New England. I think living in a majority blue area of a red state makes people a bit more apprehensive to discuss politics, because you never really know a stranger’s beliefs until you get to know them.


SavantEtUn

Behind enemy lines


stillyoinkgasp

I was just in Austin and Round Rock for a few days. I'm Canadian. I saw more political ads and billboards in three days than I'd ever seen in my life to that point. And the amount of people that told me me that they were "California refugees" was mind boggling since I never once asked about their politics... ... but they made damn sure I knew all th same.


mycofunguy804

Unless you are visibly queer. I doubt they'd keep it to themselves than


Moedog0331

I'm gonna take a while guess and say you're an Austin or Houston.


Meanteenbirder

Ironically Kansas is much worse. It really seeps into the blue suburbs of Topeka. People don’t hide it at all, but at the same time, people are a lot more down-to-earth and likely good at hiding it. Maybe bc this state has a Democratic Governor?


Traditional_Ad_6801

We hope so, too. Some of the shit happening in TX is bad for *all* Americans.


Charming_Cell_943

Yes, I live in one, we had a trump store with inflatable and all and local politicians gain votes by being anti DEI


meepz

Ah, South Weymouth circa 2020.


Jimbomcdeans

You misspelled Peabody


l008com

And don't forget wilmington.


FlyOk7923

Middleton too! Or as I like to call it , MAGAleton. Literally the only town in all of eastern MA that Trump won in 2020.


Training-Repeat-5630

Rural areas of every blue state, in fact


CertifiedBA

My whole office is red. I'm nothing, but it's pretty obvious, can't escape the chit-chat.


Crossbell0527

So they're going to rebel against the court of unelecteds that just decided that the chief executive is actually a king, right? Right?


Mithrilhall

No, because they're pussies.


BackRiverGhostt

Gravy seals, baby.

Legal_Lettuce6233

The fucking army larping is hilarious.


twendall777

Only if Biden abuses the new privileges. Otherwise, they'll ride it out til after the next election. If Trump wins, "whine more libs. It's law. SCOTUS says so".


bigredthesnorer

No, because the orange man's type of tyranny is good.


lpeabody

Until it comes for them, then they won't be laughing.


russsaa

Wait did scotus have screwed up ruling that i missed?


ForecastForFourCats

Blessed child. Take a walk and appreciate life for a minute before you check the news.


Justdoingthebestican

Don’t look friend


salty_redhead

I am incredibly envious of your blissful ignorance.


Mysterious-Tie7039

They basically gave Presidents complete immunity as long as “the action is a Presidential duty”. Trump’s lawyers are now arguing that the fake electors are legal because Trump ordered it so. But, hey, on the bright side, Watergate’s retroactively no longer considered a crime.


ArmadilloWild613

boy am I glad I have a 2nd passport. Been nice knowing everybody, but I'll be watching the final transition of power from different continent.


fadeux

If it is not New Zealand, you will probably not be safe there, too. Fascism is on the rise globally. And if the US falls, it would spread beyond her borders to every piece of landmass you think you can run to.


duncanwally

Exactly.


Sergal_Pony

If they had any balls xD


TheGreatBelow023

Ironic


Winter_cat_999392

The hilarious thing is that they never realize that the comic character of "The Punisher" regularly offed corrupt officials and enforcers of the sort they cheer for. Also, they're ostensible adults still drawing their life ideology from comic books instead of having left them in adolescence and grown up.


lelduderino

To be fair, (to be faaaiiir), the one sticker in and of itself isn't contradictory. Maybe they actually are an anti-statist in general, not anti-*this* state and don't have thin blue line stickers or defaced American flags somewhere else. Dumb and Dumber-level odds, but it's technically possible.


monosyllables17

No one with a Punisher flag sticker has ever read a comic book tho


lelduderino

Oh, of course they can't read. But the Punisher is in plenty of other media not making exceptions for pieces of flair like badges.


Slappybags22

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one incapable of saying “to be fair” with out adding some letterkenny flair.


tbootsbrewing

That’s a Texas sized 10-4


deggy123

Maybe, it's more likely the skull logo is considered "cool" looking to them.


foorm

These bootlickers love cops and nationalism


smokefrog2

Also moronic


TeddyBoozer

I mean isn’t fighting against tyranny the foundation of the state? I mean the Boston tea party was a big FU to king George and MA was the heart of colonial America.


Agreeable_Bill9750

Against tyranny.  Against.


Wetzilla

You're giving this dude way too much credit. He's just mad that society won't let him be a bigot anymore. That's all these stickers actually mean.


Ocean_of_Apathy93

We're faaaaar from that type of freedom loving. Nobody would dare oppose a tyrant in 2024


person749

Do you guys just not go outside? These are in every neighborhood in MA, just like everywhere else in the country. 1/3 of the state voted for Trump.


BrandNewRiottttt

Apparently 1/3rd of voters in Massachusetts need to move to the south


emptytheprisons

Closer to a fifth! It's only a third if you're talking about people who voted. If you're comparing numbers of Trump voters to total adult population, it's 20.67% :)


person749

Sure, whatever way you need to finagle the numbers to make you feel better.


Ezren-

Sorry did you want to pretend you were a slightly larger minority? Whatever makes you feel better, sure.


person749

I find it silly to try and assume that you know the belief system of those who don't vote; that because they didn't vote you automatically count them as "one of the good guys" or whatever is a bit of a reach.


mettiusfufettius

I don’t give a shit about the political opinions of people who don’t vote, because they themselves don’t give a shit about their own political opinions. If they did, they would vote. I swear, the amount of people I know who bitch and moan about high taxes and bad roads and repeat talking points from their 24 hour news network of choice, but they admit that they don’t even bother to vote. Sorry, I don’t care what you say.


Plane_Coyote4336

It's just the other 2/3 or the ones representing them have the luxury of complaining about imagined problems on the internet. Or maybe they dont go outside still. Maybe the ones online are the ones still wearing surgical masks while outside walking their dog...who knows? But I do know that their is an obvious Mind Virus affecting people. And the internet is a great tool to feel the pulse.


Cannon_SE2

I mean the revolution started in MA.


Living-Vermicelli-59

Often doesn’t feel like it when they don’t even let you shoot off and buy actual fireworks to celebrate it.


GeorgeCrossPineTree

$1,000 says it’s a 5’ 7” white guy, 68 years old, 179 pounds, with an Old Navy polo tucked into his blue jeans.


treehouse4life

Who intentionally chose to live in a perpetual blue state with the occasional RINO governor so his brain constantly blows a fuse every election season


askreet

Most people don't choose to live somewhere, they have community, family and friends or even just familiarity that drives their decision making.


Plane_Coyote4336

You're right. Whether it's the country you're born in or the state. It is only a small section of people who have the financial luxury to live and move to where they decide. The ones who get to decide are more than likely the ones who got to decide which Ivy league college their parents sent them to. But they'll never admit that, lol. Most people just do what they have to to live the best life they can for themselves and family.


J_House1999

Man I feel bad for short guys. Always catching strays.


bostonwenger

Yeah, I don’t see why this guy couldn’t also be 6’3”, on his third DWI, 295lbs, wearing a matching Punisher shirt and shotty Patriots gym shorts


DaveDurant

Don't tell me about war, you bastards!! I've played **thousands** of hours of CoD. I know all I need to. :/


Admirable-Horse-2263

So what happens if tyranny does become law? Just curious?


KrazyCripple

The people talking shit here are the same people who will call the police for help after just attending a defund the police protest. They will cry for help


8slim5

Exactly, good to see I'm not the only logical person here


Gooniefarm

Yes, police exist everywhere.


BigBrrrrrrr22

Those stickers to me say “break window for a free gun”


figmaxwell

Unsecured, loaded, and ready to accidentally discharge at the first major pothole


bleepleus

Or local Brewery.


40ozEggNog

Yup. Regardless of where you stand on anything, the cost/benefit of putting that kind of stuff on your car just doesn't add up. Seems like best case scenario is getting made fun of on reddit for being a tool.


Killmatic77

Not many ppl give a shit what the internet think believe it or not


40ozEggNog

Exactly my point with "best case scenario"


papa_jahn

“Break window” sounds about left


WhoNoseMarchand

Yep, go to extreme measures and ignore the law to prove a stupid point that they are more than likely wrong about.


Migs1023

It’s sad most of the people in this comment section can vote. No wonder our country is becoming a shit hole.


Sir-Binxles

My mother has a WWG1WGA on the back of her car and I refuse to drive it when I fly home. Ridiculous lol


Winter_cat_999392

Wow, actual Q. They need an intervention and professional therapy.


Artmageddon

Point that out to her and say “Like sheep?”


Sir-Binxles

HAHA this is a good one I’ll have to use it next time lol


russsaa

I didnt know what that was and googled it. These people actually have their own fanfic


geminimad4

Argh, so sorry. Q and MAGA women are the worst.


PantheraAuroris

some Goo Gone will clear that right up


UsedCollection5830

I’ve work with these type people if you talk to them long enough the racism starts to ease its way out fuck these type people man


Mr_Donatti

The most cringy, fake ass wannabe militia man cosplay.


figmaxwell

Excuse me, they’re called Gravy Seals


Jimbomcdeans

Meal Team 6


legitcopp3rmerchant

Type of person that would say they totally would have joined up but they would punch the drill instructor out for getting in their face, like lol yeah sure bud


LionBig1760

Massachusetts has always had a hard streak of middle aged- to old-men in the suburbs that are racist as fuck, whine incessantly about illegal immigrants, grumble under their breath about the gays. They usually know enough to keep their shitiness quiet by declaring that they're "independent voters" when they've never even considered voting anything but a straight republican ticket.


Doninic1920

Also probably raking in a construction job thanks to bidens infrastructure bill driving 40k toyota


0nlyinAmerika

Lol you ain't getting a Toyota Tundra Off Road for $40K in 2024


5oco

I think that's the monthly payment


youthfulnegativity

Have you ever been to the south shore my guy


GnomeBrewing

Some people have different opinions than you? How dare they!?


AgitatedDark1955

It's a valid statement regardless of which side of the poisoned political spectrum is in power....


Shapen361

We agree on this, just not on who. If they were to rebel against the over reaching Supreme Court and future tyrant president I would be a staunch supporter of these people. Instead it will probably be harassment against LGBTQ people and people of color, because apparently they're the real threat to our freedom.


steve-eldridge

As a direct descendant of a Captain of a company of Minute Men that responded to the first call known as the Lexington Alarm on April 19, 1775, I find all these cosplaying pretend patriots disgusting.


Winter_cat_999392

My ancestors fought on the side of the Union against seditious traitors later. They won.


steve-eldridge

https://macivilwarmonuments.com/ So many served from Massachusetts.


BWSnap

All I wanted to do today was make the half hour drive to Concord and apologize to the Minute Man statue at North Bridge. The Park is one of my favorite places to go and just reflect on what took place there, because I feel blessed to live so close to it. And now, for what was it fought? So a bunch of idiots could make their sacrifices in vain 248 years later? Makes me sick.


Gronkattack

They exist everywhere they are just a minority here thankfully. I live in a very liberal town and there is a house nearby that is plastered with pro Trump stuff and has a Let's Go Brandon flag on their pole......instead of an American Flag.


Winter_cat_999392

At least the cruising con artists like the "leftover driveway paving" ones know who is a gullible easy mark for a scam.


Ejmct

The best definition of those Punisher stickers is “Let’s cosplay masculinity!”


case2000

It's an "emotional support skull."


TheSpideyJedi

For a dude who’s so AMERICA… I figured he’d drive an American vehicle


Wlnchend0n

Great vehicle, tundras never die


Jimbomcdeans

Anyway I started blasting


ZeBrownRanger

In their Japanese truck. Hilarious. Don't get me wrong I like my Toyotas.


l008com

Ironically, this is becoming more true every day but not at all in the way they think.


SeverableSole7

Ahh yes punisher logo, still waiting for them to realize that the punisher hates police


sirdavos95

I really dont understand the link with the punisher and conservatives. He has comics where he called out the proud boys and killed them, as well as killing corrupt cops.


mycofunguy804

Funny thing. Punisher as a character hates American patriotism


jpbai

My favorite is all the cops who have these on their personal vehicles. Always gives me a hearty chuckle.


nutfromthe80s

Putting aside politics Without that sentiment we’d still be part of Britain, slavery would still be legal, the southern states would be part of South America, the civil rights movement wouldn’t happen. That sentiment motivated people to end monarchies & dictatorships globally it has a history we all should respect


prattski73

Y'all Qaeda


ThreeDogs2022

What a silly little truck, for a silly little man


RedditardedOne

Hey don’t hate on the tacoma! Not all of us are asshats


TeddyBoozer

Thats a BIG truck for a BIG boy!


Lowbattery88

My father was blown out of a tank and nearly lost his job because he refused to aid the FBI during McCarthyism. Never once did he behave like a loudmouth, posturing bully because he knew what it really meant to be a patriot.


JosieTangerine3763

Free speech.


Ezren-

Speech can be both "free" and "mocked for being stupid". It's "free speech", not "my special opinion can't be laughed at", grow up


JosieTangerine3763

I just pointed out the truth, as you did, without getting personal, which you most certainly did. Why so snarky? Do you need a Snickers or something?


PainbowRush

Brought to you by someone who would use the law to oppress anyone they don't like given the chance


This-Ad-196

Sweetie the mentally challenged are all around the globe.


KrazyCripple

Lmfao the hypocrisy in these comments is amazing. I’ll bet you all claim to be tolerant but as soon as someone has a different opinion you all nerd rage out. Let the dude do his thing and go about your day. the fact that a sticker has you posting nh a picture on Reddit so you all can talk shit is pathetic.


JocularityX2

Alrighty then


Builder_liz

Don't tread on my tyranny


stonedmason28

This comment section is so sad lol when did Massachusetts forget where the hell we came from


Lexei_Texas

As someone who moved from Texas to Connecticut I can truly say these people are clueless assholes who have no idea how good they have it up here and have no fucking clue what tyranny is by any means.


Spiritual-Reveal-917

Tyranny is when to many immigrants and gay people


TheFootballRetard

This is everyone in Norwood


Hot_Horse5056

These people like to talk the talk. They ain’t going to do shit


TheSpaceman1975

Morons gonna moron.


simpledeadwitches

People using the Punisher logo is so fucking annoying and ignorant, they just think it's badass.


Spiritual-Reveal-917

The funniest part is whenever you see one of those thin blue line punisher stickers is that the actual comic is about how you can't depend on institutions like the police or the military to act in a just and capable way and the author of the punisher actually really hates the way people are using it.


markovianprocess

In a recent episode of the comics he beat the shit out of some cops for having it on their cruiser.


BWSnap

I'm in north Worc. County, and there are plenty of them around here. It's disheartening.


SillyDragon92

Truth be told I believe they both may be but only one of them shows real signs of it


ye_roustabouts

“Ego in arcadia est” keeps feeling more heavy. Which I didn’t really think it could.


SituationMinimum4855

Mf will have this and get mad about a Palestine protest


chomblebrown

What an awesome quote though, do we agree on that?


TheFoodHistorian

Oh hey I know that guy! He's really anti government not pro. Pretty not red actually lol more no party.


StrongTitle4478

You’re mad at a pick up truck displaying their opinion? But a Prius with 75 stickers on it is OK? Interesting.


Fearless_Run6709

If the entirety of MA thought like this Reddit post we are so fucked.


capttuna

The good news is it’s mainly relegated to Reddit and other social media platforms.


VinylHiFi1017

I would genuinely like to know some specific examples of tyranny from this person.


Fine-Craft3393

USA patriot driving a Toyota… lol…


Ezren-

Countless comments mocking the bumper sticker but you still get those comments, "oh you're offended lol", people are either laughing at you or depressed to share a state with you. Cope in a different way, living in denial is pathetic.


Ok_Transition6044

That window decal is the most rebelling he'll do.


Baltroy

Lmao I love how the trump fanboys are defending him and are triggered and are saying how it’s triggering the Biden bandwagon. like bro good chance the sticker owner hates both like 90% of America. What a troll he didn’t even say who “they”are.


TheScubaSteve78

Funny how the cities are blue, but anyone who wants true freedom and to keep what they earn without handouts choose rural areas and vote red. Trump 24! Take this country back. Get rid of these politicians running the country into the ground.


Curious_Yesterday421

That's a very good message, I don't understand your frustration. Is there something behind the message that I'm not getting?


Solid_Village_6086

Imagine making all these assumptions of people based on a bumper sticker and never meeting them this comment section is garbage and echo chamber


Conscious-Dot-8394

Oh no someone who thinks differently than me is closer than I thought. Eek. Run. Hide.


Capital-Situation107

Man a bunch of Joe Biden lovers in here


Higher_Math

Your upset about 3 percenters? Get a life


americandoom

I’m sure they feel the same way about your coexist sticker. Who cares


rionh0li0

yeah, and they will be the first ones you will be calling when SHTF.


Silver-Guitar-8265

That's awesome, I love freedom too!


moeyboy1

Wow people in mass don't want a tyrannical government either, wow what losers. Wake up, stop swallowing what the news tells you with a smile and a yes sir may I have another command.


Kimba_Rimer

What do you mean by unfortunately ? Explain


Rare-Bodybuilder5440

Would you rather the sticker say “ when tyranny becomes law, compliance becomes duty” ? Thank God out founding father didn’t think that. And for the record i have no sticker.


Real_Revolution_7336

You mean Americans ? People who don’t follow the narratives and are real patriots who will stand up to govt over reach? . WTH wrong with you people! It’s men like this who let you even have the ability to sit on your phone and belittle them. Smdh


TSPGamesStudio

We're literally in the state where the revolution started. Honestly, if you think it's being an ass to be against tyranny, why are you even here?


BillMagicguy

Typically, people with these stickers on their car like to run face first into tyranny if they so much as catch a glance of a person who isn't white.


snoogins355

Advertising to car theives that you keep shit in your ride


Status-Basic

Saw a black pick up on Route 1 north just south of Gillette last week with a large 3% sticker. Time to drive these fools back to the rocks they crawled out from under.


Adept-Grapefruit-214

That truck has probably never been off road a single time


Kame2Komplain

On a Toyota that is probably on a maxed out 7 year lease agreement and above sticker price. But something something America fuck yeah


deadheatexpelled

Oh no! Someone is n Massachusetts who isn’t an insufferable leftist! How DARE THEY EXIST. Grow up snowflake, cause he isn’t alone up here 😁


Hiddenchamelion

They don't realize that they're the cause. We're you doing Greta's voice in your head when you wrote the "how dare" part? I did while I was reading it.


_AttilaTheNun_

I love how the people these asshats support politically are ACTIVELY TRYING TO CREATE A TYRANNY, and the disgusting liberals they are fighting against are trying to, for the most part, prevent it.


aquamarine23

Apparently tyranny’s ok if your guy is the tyrant.


Elementium

Salt of the earth..


Open_Ad7470

You can only laugh .😆 Generally, the ones with the stickers like that, I noticed the same ones that voted For the people that created the tyranny.


craigawoo

Things do feel a bit forced on us these days


NunyaBeese

My irony meter just exploded


Zealousideal_Knee_63

"They" what does that mean. Do you want all the people that think differently from you removed from the state?


identicalBadger

Great! These are the people who are going to stand up and take our country back when a sore loser of a president has his loser followers stolen the capital, block congress, and hang his vice president. Right? Right?!?


Majestic_Equal7984

Lmao, liberals are hilarious


cooperstonebadge

Pavement princess


cger-iv

Not taking one side or the other but I'm pretty sure that sticker represents how this country (USA) got started. 7/4 is Literally a celebration of rebellious action Correct me if I'm wrong


Middle_Management_11

But they never seem to notice that the call is coming from inside the house, do they? Every dude I see like that is such a bootlicker it's hilarious. Asking people in the military to get a vaccine? Tyranny! Telling Americans we should invest money in electric vehicles? Tyranny! Raising a rainbow flag? Tyranny! Saying a president can do pretty much whatever they want as long as it's official business? That seems okay.


air_lock

WE THE PEOPLE! Are gonna vote for a guy who shits all over the constitution every day he breathes.. -Conservatives


Free762

Oh wow. People thinking for themselves…can’t have that.


ChrisSLackey

TONS in Tewksbury.

Yeah… let’s go. We the people!


Evilbadscary

Fully believe that nobody has ever told that guy "Hey not so deep".


waffles2go2

I bet he armor all’s his wheels and his colesterol is 150…


Afitz93

Yes, people who disagree with you politically do exist and are literally everywhere. Doesn’t make them good people, but it is their right.


Ambitious_Ad8776

The problem is the iconography they're using to advertise their beliefs is also commonly used by a number of violent domestic terrorist groups. This driver believing something different isn't the issue, it is the elevated risk of them acting violently.


Affectionate-Copy547

Just because someone doesn’t agree with you politically doesn’t make them a bad person either. This is the biggest problem we have today… people disagree and act like children.
