For the second time! (http://qwrrty.livejournal.com/293584.html)
It's okay, I have more (courtesy of signsoflife and chaiya). But I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't add a sticker that says "Thank you for not vandalizing my bumper sticker." Or maybe "Crunch all you want, we'll make more!" I don't know.
I'm not sure if putting on an accompanying "Thank yo for not vandalizing my sticker" sticker would encourage vandals, but it would at least let them know they're not being original.
I'm restraining myself from saying something about different political alignments' relative willingness to resort to destruction and violence, because my comment would be born from anger more than truth, but argh. ARGH.
I think it's an attitude of selfish resentment, privilege, or superiority, not really a party thing. We see a good deal of R stickers cut and otherwise vandalized up here in "more neutral" territory. Heck, the state Dems came as close as they legally could to doing it to one opponent's curbside signs last major election. It's an unfortunate attitude that makes one think it's ok to counter speech through vandalism. But I am pretty sure party isn't the link.
(ETA: ...and I am not meaning to imply that you do. :-))
