“This Machine Kills Fascists” is a message that Woody Guthrie placed on his guitars in the year 1943[1] that has inspired many artists.
Historian Anne Neimark relates that soon after moving into a small fourth-floor walk-up apartment in Manhattan, Guthrie wrote the war song “Talking Hitler’s Head Off Blues”. This was printed in the Daily Worker newspaper. Then “In a fit of patriotism and faith in the impact of the song, he painted on his guitar THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS.”[2]
It all depends on what people mean by the term Fascist these days.
Most people don’t realize the definition of fascism could arguably be applied to the current administration:
1 a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

I wonder if the driver understands his bumper sticker?
No way to positively know if the owner/driver knows the meaning of the bumper sticker that h/she purchased and affixed to the car, that they own. But it is more likely that h/she does know!
The red sticker is on a different car, same color silver, but not the Prius.
The Prius owner, IMHO, is very cool and patriotic, and has a working knowledge of history and/or music. Thankfully, h/she is obeying my rule on bumper sticks: One sticker is enough, two is pushing it, three or more means that you are freakin’ nuts!
my machine (crown vic) can (and has) town his machine up hills here.
quite a sight to see crown vic, 10 foot trailer with mowers or 4 wheelers, tow rope, prius with a 4 foot trailer and hand mowers.
useless piles of crap.

Which fascist/fascists do you believe/know he/she/it is/might be killing/depriving of life?/.
A fun little conversation about a Prius, a bumper sticker, obscure history, a patriotic musician, and still, still, SOMEONE just has to be a DICK!~
Better a dick than a troll.
