It's actually very coherent, and one of the frankest expressions of conservatism you'll ever see; "Laws for thee, not for me".

Seriously. This car screams conservative.

Performative worship of police is part of the conservative identity so they have to announce it to everyone. And the sovcit motive is usually "I want the benefits of society without paying for them." Typical conservative selfishness.

Having a "don't pull me over, im on your side 😉" sticker makes perfect sense if you're an idiot who is doing things worth being pulled over for.

There is real logic there. While not a sovtard and I drive safely, I found that having such a sticker on the back window usually turns a ticket into a verbal warning, if youre a couple mph over the speed limit. Even if you dont like the police it’s beneficial to have a such a sticker. In my case it was a simple small benefit dinner sticker for a officer in need.

Think a "thin red line" flag would be good enough? My brother works at the fire department, so I can pretend its just for him.

benefit dinner sticker for a officer in need.

Massive difference from the "thin blue line" sticker there. The blue sticker people paid for the sticker. Your money went to help someone you both respect.

I'm amused there's a GMC model called the "Terrain", not all terrain or off road or anything, just "this vehicle drives on surfaces"

I have one, is been pretty good so far. Basic car, no frills, no major issues.

They break down enough that "Terrain" is an accurate description of their unmoving forms.

Wait till you find out about the competing model, Ford RoadsAndMaybeMildDirt

I have a very strong memory of a bodycam video where the sovtard keeps screaming "BUT I'M ON YOUR SIDE" as he's getting pulled through his busted car window.

41

I don't think it was a standalone video, it was probably either in a compilation or Donut Operator's sovereign citizen bingo. But if finding it means watching hours of sovtards getting reamed by the dildo of consequences, I won't say no.

This person probably never gets pulled over. Cops don't want to deal with some dingus ranting legalese word salad and anyone with fascist stickers gets a pass.

Kind of genius if the person is actually aware

I dunno. I'm not enough of a gambler to run those odds. I feel like this would filter out all but the most aggressive cops. So when this backfires, it's a real bad time.

14

Yeah, I share your feeling. If you get pulled over by someone who wants an excuse to hurt someone I can't think of a better way to make it happen... aside from maybe being black.

But wouldn't his pro taco stance conflict with his anti Mexican stance?

9

In conservative terms, there's no conflict. Minorities and "foreigners" are there for the appropriation and exploitation of their culture, cuisine, and resources. So "hate the people, love their food (because it's ours now)" is 100% compatible and encouraged with this f-ed up ideology.

Reminds me of a guy that used to live in a neighborhood near where I was living at the time, that had both American and Confederate flags attached next to eachother on back of their pickup truck.

19

I saw one of those. The flags were bumper stickers. They were underscored by another sticker that read, "One nation, under God."

Yeah. If real, weird to get a personalized plate despite being a sovcit and thinking you're outside the government's reach. If fake, I feel like this could get dangerously close to forgery. Even for a state issued item that might get into federal charges.

13

If you’re sovcit why acknowledge the state of Kansas? Unless this is forgery in an attempt to avoid traffic stops.

11

I'd be the one to try stupid shit for a personalized plate to see what gets through, so the plate could be a joke. My state requires an explanation for these and I can totally see "I'm an army private" as the explanation here...

I'm sure they only drive on privately owned roads they've negotiated with the owner to be allowed on, right?

Because believe it or not if you own a vehicle and only ever drive that vehicle on private property in most states you can do that without following any government rules.

Like, you'd have to transport that vehicle to the property with another vehicle that is properly following the state's rules.

And of course you'd have to bring your fuel in from outside. And any spare parts...

(I'm sure some states have restrictions even on private property only operation)

They're not the typical sov cit. I'm guessing this person is just trying to get away with not paying for tabs. That license plate is a knock-off of a legit Kansas license plate, not the typical sov cit nonsense plate advertising their insanity.

7

Years ago I had a thin blue line flag on the back of my car. I didn't really care about the police, I just figured I'd be less likely to get pulled over.

Boy was I right, I drove like an asshole, sped everywhere and never got pulled over.

What tells us that it's a sovcit thing? I see run of the mill nationalism here.

No registration stickers? I think most states use those to show you paid the yearly fee to maintain the roads...

5

Minor nitpick, but registration fees don't pay for road maintenance, it's nowhere near enough. Road maintenance comes out of general funds, everybody pays whether you have a car or not, and regardless of how much or how little you drive. Cars are the most heavily subsidized from of transportation there is.

Yeah this actually just looks like a real custom plate.

Sov cits use the word "private" a lot though

Must be real proud of serving in the military and doing basically nothing or something

Kansas requires registration tags on the back plate. I would guess he bought it on Etsy
