Assholes like to advertise.
You’re missing out on the ambience, though. This gomer had left his truck running in the parking lot, and he had done something to his muffler so the engine was roaring and grumbling while idling.
In case you can’t read his window sticker:
Oh, simple farmers. The people of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know…

The posing sexy angel says it all; I didn’t know they published Playboy in Heaven. God must really enjoy watching the wankers up close and personal.
Dennis K says
And lest anyone think the PNW is some sort of liberal bastion, I see these same shitheads here, every single day. I believe the rule is: The louder the truck, the greater the compensation for a thing most deficient.
Kagehi says
Saw one of these idiots, probably also a “coal roller”, whose truck spit out the back exhaust so much black smoke that, had he had to suddenly stop for something, the car immediately behind him wouldn’t have had a damn clue he slowed down until they literally ran into the truck. And, yeah, there are an endless number of these idiots locally too, to varying degrees of, “I have my rights, why the F should I give a damn about you or yours?”

We have had “fatwa envy” and maybe this guy has the “virgins envy” too.

I’m impressed.
He knows what he’s about.
How could there ever be any chance he would be mistaken for anything else.

Is that Trump flag supposed to look like a thumbless left hand with four gnarled, skeletal fingers? Because that’s all I can see. It looks like the ghoulish spirit of American conservatism is coming to claw you down into Hell.
gijoel says
I saw a YouTube video recently that showed mechanics pull apart damage engine blocks and pistons from idiots who roll coal. If Fauci gave a press conference asking people to not cut their noses off, emergency rooms across the US would start filling up with idiots trying to cut their noses off.

Good idea-let people know you have a gun. Makes it easier to steal it from you.

Wait. Are you telling me this tar is trans?

I reply: I recognized that line immediately (many of you should, too) it’s from Blazing Saddles and in its entirety uttered by Gene Wilder is: Oh, simple farmers. The people of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know… morons!
The bigger the cloud of smoke, the smaller the intellect!
I don’t know of anywhere where there are none of these mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging rtwingnuts.
Tethys says
Is the flag supposed to be shaped like a bear claw mark? It’s quite the assortment of macho social markers, though the Indian beadwork mandala hanging on the passenger side is an interesting touch.
I do hope it won’t be too difficult to remove the window decal in 2025.
chrislawson says
The best thing about that line is Gene Wilder ad-libbed it, so Cleavon Little’s breaking up laughing was his genuine reaction.

robertmathews@6–
Yep. This Trumpist thinks the best symbol to rally around is a shredded US flag with 23 stars, several of which have been bisected. Self-awareness is not their strong suit.

Bill Cotterell: Give these guys a break
Mmmm, no. One issue I have with that is the right-winger practice known as “the double-down.” When a fascist says something bad, such as Vance’s childless cat lady remark, he never seems to admit that he was wrong. Instead he doubles down. If he can’t admit he was wrong and apologize, I see no reason why I should forgive him.
Raging Bee says
Reginald: I agree — no one should be expected to just forgive wrongdoing on demand. Anyone who wants their past wrong words or deeds forgiven has to: a) stop doing/saying the wrong thing; b) admit they were wrong to say/do that thing; c) explicitly say they’re sorry for saying/doing said wrong thing; and d) explicitly ASK the wronged person(s) to forgive them, knowing those person(s) get to chose whether AND WHEN to do what is asked.

”I’m very sorry I called Mr Corleone a mafioso. That was before I found my horse’s head in my bed and realized he’s an honest, upstanding citizen.”
Jaws says
@2: Sadly, true — especially on the east side of the mountains and in some of the more-ardently logging/farming communities on the west side. I’ve found that the best way to deal with them is to ask the fine patriots to see their VA cards. They tend to slink away… out of all the times I’ve done that, exactly one has had a VA card (and I have mine to show).

There are even worse people out there.
Like the president of the Heritage Foundation.
(Crossposted with The Infinite thread)
The Heritage Foundation president has revealed his intention for project 2025 in a book, saying the quiet part out loud.

DFL (Democratic Farm Labor) is basically the Democratic party in Minnesota. After they tossed him, he is running as an independent.
AugustusVerger says
“I identify as a crossbow” is also so pretty darn lame. So, you overpaid for a fake AR-16 then? Too cheap to buy a real one? Lucky you don’t identify as a mature adult so I can treat you like the dumb, edgy teenager you are and just call your parents to pick you up. Does your daddy know you’ve been taking his car? Or maybe it’s your mommy’s because your daddy spends all day lying comatose on the couch after binge-drinking all night. I’d binge-drink too if you were my son, you revolting disappointment!

Apparently, this individual identifies as a blithering dipshidiot.

timgueguen says
The “It Identifies as a Crossbow” isn’t the gotcha that guy thinks. The crossbow was a combat weapon in the past. A month ago a man killed 3 women in the UK with a crossbow because UK access to firearms is so restricted. In general there seems to be at least one case of a crossbow being used for murder making the press every year.
AugustusVerger says
If there was a shred of humor he’d have said “I identify as a toothbrush” or “I identify as a broomstick”. Still lame but at least there’s some sort of consistent idea behind it.
Of course, he could have also gone the ultra-edgy route and written “I don’t identify as anything, I identify targets”. Ten years ago they might actually have used that line, shows how much the fascist right has degenerated since then.

I am going to start referring to JD Vance as a hillbully.

It make me sad the hogs ruined the “I identify joke” trans people do it 100% better.

I’m tickled by how the buxom sexy angel seems to be labelled “Trans-star”. X-D
Maybe the jerk’s hoping she’ll identify as cis.

Why does the angel on that sticker look like a pin-up girl?
