You are aware of what you're doing and the reactions it will incite. What do you think happens to parked cars with MAGA stickers in California? Well you don't have to wonder, there are more than enough "social experiments" on youtube documenting this subject matter.

You're effectively arguing that you know (and possibly deserve) any reaction you get out of having a certain opinion. Justifying that with "well, it happens to others" is not great. You political opinions should never be justification for harm.

As the person whose post that was deleted mentioned, this is effectively the same type of argument as saying: "well, you know what will happen if you wear a sexy short skirt alone late at night".

In either case you don't deserve violence.
