Default Across party lines

This morning driving in to work I was behind a guy in the far left lane driving 10mph under the speed limit with a bumper sticker that said "I'm Conservative. Get Over It." Then I was behind a Prius in the HOV driving 10mph under the limit who exited University of Houston.

Just proof that automotive driving assholery crosses party lines.

I would never advertise any political affiliation on my vehicles because I don't want my shit getting f*cked with.

This is Texas, just assumed everyone is conservative until proven otherwise.

Not in Houston. Even some of the suburbs are starting to turn, as liberals flee the crime and trash ridden city, only to try and recreate the situation that made them flee in the first place, in their new environment.

For example, Pearland elected an 18 year old high school student, a SJW, and we dodged this other SJW bullet who got about 41% of the vote:

For years, I had a Ron Paul for President sticker on my truck. Never had a problem. I think most people either didn't know who he was, or just felt sorry for me.

I dunno...the guy who won, Woody Owens, got nearly 60% of the vote to Dalia Kasseb's 40%. Sounds like a fairly decent drubbing to me.

I block walked for Woody, a retired engineer.

Those numbers don't seem bad.....unless you live in the area, then they are downright frightening. Dalia, a pharmacist, has lived in the city 4 years, yet has never voted in a city election. She got recruited to run by the SJW mayoral candidate (he lost, thankfully), based on, as near as I can tell, identity politics, alone. Her two campaign issues that she spoke on with our local newspapers were diversity, and opposition to a landfill that has been on the other side of town for decades. People, many of whom were liberals fleeing Houston, bought big houses on the cheap land that surrounded that landfill, then wondered why the air smelled bad. That west side was where the majority of her support came from.

Kasseb was heavily supported by the Texas Organizing Project, who finance lofty projects like this:

Putting anything on your vehicle which draws the ire and attention of others is just plain stupid.

You're welcome for this amazing advice.

I have a sticker on my truck that says, "I'm your Huckleberry." Hopefully most will understand what it means!
