I like the idea of RR and KAJ appearing together. It would work well with folks born before 1970. It would be great if they were the opening act for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. Then they could follow stadiums with young voters.

Bumper stickers? Not yet. No one is quite sure these will be the candidates : )

I realize the candidates are not picked yet, but I was not looking for only political slogans. I literally didn’t see any bumper stickers of any kind.

The stakes are too high? Just speculating. For the first time in my experience you can suffer social and even economic damage for getting on the wrong side

But what about apolitical messages or happy thoughts such as the I Love NY hearts that appeared after 9/11. Or Save the Whales or other species. Bumper stickers of all kinds used to be ubiquitous. Curious what else might have caused their demise.

I will speculate. Now with social media, we don't have to tag our cars to be heard?

Katharine, Folks saw your car and bumper sticker and probably thought you were just another aging hippie remembering hopes and days gone past. My guess is you were likely safe, although I confess of not knowing the location of 1944’s Hometown USA or the fine points of New York’s political demographic geography, other than my understanding is it gets more red further north and west. I can say having driven a car with California license plates into Idaho, Wyoming and northwest Colorado, there were times I hoped I’d be returning to a parked car that wasn’t vandalized. Never happened, but sometimes I got totally ignored and then eventually crappy service with a suspicious look at a gas station convenience store.
