Funny/interesting how you never see a woman buy this idiotic license plate for her car.
They are almost always paranoid white males who think everyone is coming for their rights. When in reality, they have the most liberties - more so than women and minorities - who have always had their freedoms restricted or at least questioned. |

Exactly. The true downtrodden people don't have that plate and the typically white, cisgender men who have that plate tend to be the least downtrodden members of American society. Unless you consider having to give people different from you equal rights and basic dignity equivalent to oppression. |

The Gadsden flag was actually really cool once. As a history nerd I always loved it and even had one up in my dorm room.
Unfortunately it’s been completely co-opted by a bunch of toothless moron racist cosplay dipshits, so I wouldn’t use it anymore. I’m even a libertarian and also happen to be a bit of a gun guy; by all rights I should be target audience. But yeah, you’ve gotta read the room a little bit. In 2020 America, everybody knows who you’re trying to align with when you put this on your car. I want nothing to do with it and would be embarrassed to have it on my car. |

When I see people with that license plate or The bumper sticker on their car, I do think of them as racist. I also associate them as likely Trump supporters and generally the type of people who put themselves and their needs before others or the community. I didn’t always feel that way but now in the era of Trump and having met a few of these types, I do see a connection. I am also more weary of white police officers and white military guys. Again, it’s just because of personal experiences the past few years. I did not always feel this way. But now I really try to avoid interaction. I am just uncomfortable. I feel bad about it sometimes because not every police office or military guy is bad. |

? where are you getting that from. I know zero Asian Americans who would have that bumper sticker on their car. Most of them have stuff that do with their kids' education like "My kid is an honor roll student" or religious symbols like the Christian "fish" sign. And I'm not sure about the ^^PP PhD person who likes Asian art. But even if true, that doesn't mean anything.. you can still be a pro-gun nut job with some personality disorder. I mean look at Ted Kaczynski - highly intelligent white dude who was a serial killer. -Asian American |

I work for a federal agency and there are a number of care in our government subsidized garage with those license plates. |

| The first time I saw that plate it looked like a pile of crap. |

| I have always figured that people who get that plate are NRA members, and that the Second Amenmrnt is their consuming issue. Nothing else. |

| I'm a woman and got a don't tread on me license plate, but that was about 15 years ago now. I liked the look and the history. I would never get one now... It's come to mean your a racist Trump supporter. That's what everyone will think when they see it. |

| Everyone I know with the tea party plates are racists and Trump supporters. I'm sure there are a few others who aren't, but I haven't met them yet. |
