The subreddit was created not that long ago, on March 23, 2018, and it currently has 134k members. In the description it says “For all cars with crazy messages and/or stickers. These are the rides of the warriors of information.”
Most of the time people share those photos because they just look ridiculous and can give a little laugh. Another problem is that they often block the back window of the car which can be unsafe. The stickers may be excessive, but the messages usually are even worse, showing support for Trump, guns or even nazis.
Trump supporters decorate their cars with his images and put up flags all over that not only block the vehicle driver’s view, but also can be dangerous for other road users.
Among these cars, sometimes you can see an odd one who actually mocks those who support the right wing and puts up stickers with Biden or signs saying that they wish racial equality would be reached.
Usually, people express their opinions by talking about them or writing them down in an appropriate context, but the owners of these cars want everybody to know at all times what their stance is on important events in their country’s life and look down upon those who don’t share the same beliefs.
It seems unnecessary and it instigates conflicts because every side thinks that they are the right ones and would never believe the other side’s proof as it could be fabricated or twisted.
Psychology Today says that offensive opinionated people just want to feel in control. The way they feel like they’re doing that is by intimidating someone until they agree or infuriate a person to the point they can’t think clearly because they’re trying to not burst.
These people think that they know things the best and it’s hard to convince them otherwise. It’s actually best to not do that as it will only lead to a bigger conflict, so remaining diplomatic and politely ending the conversation would be a good solution.
It is clear that people with stickers and banners on their cars have very strong opinions and it would be scary to meet them on the road, but in this subreddit, we can observe them from the safety of our device screen.
