The best way to get revenge on someone is by putting a Trump bumper sticker on her car. Watch how easily anti-Trump people think it's moral to scratch or attack someone's car because of her personal beliefs.

You don't think Trump supporters wouldn't scratch up a Hillary sticker or religious people wouldn't scratch up an atheist fish on a car?

No, they really wouldn't, not nearly with the same frequency.

Trump inspires a special "rules no longer apply" insanity in far-leftists. They enjoy feeling like the normal rules of conduct don't apply, so they lean into it.

I call BS on that. There are nasty people with no respect for personal property on every political spectrum. It's honestly to the point where wouldn't put any political bumper sticker on my car at all, ever.

My personal experience with "far-leftists" as you would call them have been large peaceful protests.

Not at all. I don't know what's become of this country this election cycle, but the left have become the violent ones.

The violence is institutional and coming straight from the white house.

Citation needed when you make that kind of very broad claim about a population.

Could be an interesting experiment, actually.

Agreed, would be pretty interesting. But good to keep in mind that the existence of vandal jerks neither validates nor invalidates any of the ideas they espouse.
