      I had this as a bumper sticker on my electric car Chevy Volt a few years ago. Hehe. I got a lot of laughs and comments about it when pumping gas, or parking.

      Edited for clarity about why I would need gas for an electric car.

            And that still connects the engine directly to the wheels because old car makers loathe our dreams of real serial hybrids…

              The engine only helps to power the drive train in mountain mode. Otherwise it charges the battery, which drives the electric motor. The Volt is a pretty awesome car. I would still be driving it if I didn’t need something more rugged, or could afford two separate vehicles. But I loved owning it. I even took it on a long distance trip over the mountains and it did great! I barely had to put gas in the thing unless it was freezing outside and I had a lot of driving to do that day, or for long-distance trips. The first year I owned it I only put gas in it twice, and the gas tank is only 9 gallons.

    Anyone else hate that the Gadsden flag has been appropriated by ultra-libertarian jingoists? It’s an awesome-looking flag with a cool history and symbolism, but I feel like I couldn’t fly it without looking like a twat.

    “Woman trampled in Capitol riots had ‘don’t tread on me’ flag”

    "I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking (on top of her).

    “There were people stacked two-three deep…people just crushed.”

    Paramedics desperately tried to revive her but were unable to.

    Photos from earlier that day showed her carrying the banner with the phrase “Don’t tread on me”.

    The flag clearly doesn’t work 😂

    I once saw a guy with a bumper sticker featuring the US flag and the Confederate flag with the caption, “One nation under God.”

    Lots of interesting discussions over the flags and the hypocrisy and lack of understanding of the flags by the person displaying the flags.

    However, I think their message is crystal clear.

    “Don’t try to stop me from oppressing anyone I disagree with.”

    There’s a person in a town near me with a big pickup truck that confuses the hell out of people because it’s a Trump flag, except the background is a pride flag. What makes it so confusing is that the word ‘fuck’ above the word ‘Trump’ is in much smaller letters.

    Decent troll job if you ask me. I love the idea of MAGA assholes going apeshit over a Trump pride flag.

    not sure what the censoring of the plate does. That truck is visible and identifiable for a five mile radius, and I guarantee you can hear it for more than that
