Do you know why you're not seeing many Hillary yard signs or bumper stickers? [View all]

Actually, you know why already.

Hillary supporters won't slash your tires, or key your car, and none that I've ever heard will throw a brick through your window or try to run you off the road.

But thanks to the New Hate, we know some Trumpers have and will.

Forget stickers and signs. Stay safe and vote this asshole into oblivion.
