There was a time when we regularly ran reader-submitted photos of bumper stickers. We have a Tag for it, Bumper Stickers, dating back to 2010 and running regularly for several hundred posts and several years particularly during the Obama era.
According to our media library, we have over 1000 images of bumper stickers, here’s a small sample
Here was our first one on June 24, 2010:
It was a popular feature, and from time to time we ran annual “best of” posts such as this Best of 2011:
And the Top Ten of 2014:
We specialized in Group Photos, like this one I took in Ithaca in 2012:
Some of the entries left just a little to the imagination, like this one from 2014 taken in Worcester, MA:
The anti-Hillary ones mostly required some background knowledge, like this one from High Springs, FL.:
Notice we redact or crop out license plates except when the vanity license plate wording itself is the story.
We kept at it pretty much into the early stage of Trump 1.0, and then for whatever reason (I don’t remember) it fell by the wayside and we only occasionally ran bumper sticker posts. The common themes were anti-Obama, pro-Obama, anti-Trump, pro-Trump. Funny how that works. The Biden era was a desert for us.
I have a feeling “liberals gone wild” will be the theme moving forward. It’s downright dangerous to put a pro-Trump or pro-Republican bumper sticker on your car, so liberals flaunting the crazy likely will be the next big (recurring) theme.
I miss those early days when we were “just a blog” and the internet was more fun. And we weren’t so serious.
I want to rekindle that spirit.
So we will start running reader-submitted bumper sticker posts from time to time as appropriate entries come in. If you send one in, it must be your own photo, not something taken from the internet (unless you source it to the photographer and that person gives us written permission), and you must give us written permission to use it. Please state when and where you took the photo, and if you can preemptively redact the license plate number that would save us time. And NO PHOTOSHOPS or AI images please.
To kick off our reawakening, here’s a photo Rhode Islander and Legal Insurrection reader Amy Rodrigues posted on Facebook and gave us permission to use.
Spotted this “beaut” in Narragansett today. I guess the “No Kings” losers are parking in Salt Pond Plaza to meet and get bused to the “rally” on the Rt. 1 overpass.
Let the games begin.
