[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen plenty of people with "Don't Tread on Me" license plates for years in NOVA.  Im not sure you can assume, this means they are members of Q Anon/Proud Boys or whatever else there is out there now.[/quote]

Would you keep that license plate now though?

I assume the people keeping these plates support any one of these “angry white guy” groups.

NP here. I’ve got one on my car now, with no plans to change it. The Gadsden flag is an honorable historic American flag. Why would I get rid of it just because some not great people also like it? The KKK carries plenty of regular American flags at their rallies. Does that sully the Stars and Stripes for you?[/quote]

What drew you to the Gadsden flag?

The history behind it is interesting (the motif can be traced back to Benjamin Franklin], I think it expresses a very American sentiment (we can be dangerous as a country, so leave us alone), and I think it looks better than the regular, boring Virginia license plate.

If people are put off of it because some asshats have used it for their own purposes, that’s their problem, not mine.[/quote]

You don’t mind that people assume you’re a q-anon type?

I assure you, I give absolutely zero.zero F’s what some random suburban bubble dweller lib mom thinks about me. None. Just like you don’t care about what I think about your various Hillary or Biden bumperstickers say about you.

And really, ask yourself why [i]should[/i] I care what you think about me? I mean, who are [i]you[/i]? It’s pretty narcissistic of you to assume that I should seek your approval as a matter of course.

Weird. [/quote]

People say that, but then they're sore when it affects who will socialize with them, hire them etc. and they cry "discrimination!" If you truly don't care, that's fine. I just don't want to hear any whining about the inevitable consequences of people thinking you're a conspiracy crank.[/quote]

Do you/would you have the same concerns about who won’t socialize with you or hire you, etc because they see a “Biden” bumpersticker on your car?

My guess is you’ll say “no, of course not!”

And therein lays the arrogance of your opinion. Because you would likely think “no, why would anyone think ill of me for that? That means I’m normal!”

So only libertarians and conservatives should feel apprehension about being judged by strangers, customers, prospective employers, etc? But not you. Because you’re on the “good” side, right?

Let’s go further, then: would you complain about being discriminated against if I didn’t hire you, or sell you something you needed, or refused to be friendly to you because you had a Biden sticker on your car? I’m guessing you would.

Or would you just not care?

And if you wouldn’t care, then why is that such a thing for you - making others aware that people are judging them, not hiring them, not patronizing their business, etc. ?

Why do you limit yourself in this way? [/quote]
