When I read the headlines I wanted to see what was up. So I googled.
Found out that it's common for retailers to sell these vinyl decals that adhere to a truck tailgate that fool people into thinking something is in the bed.
Some are funny.
Most are disgusting. There are dozens for sale that show women tied and gagged, some wearing sexy clothing, some with tussled hair... total rape and kidnapping connotation.
I won't link them but it's testament to the depraved state of mind SOME folks live with...
You see, the chance of anyone kidnapping POTUS is nil... but women are raped and or kidnapped daily. And this seems to either condone it or make it funny.
terrible.

Maybe - they'd remove the decal - so they can proceed without any detainment.

There's a huge problem if ANYONE finds decals like this amusing, and it's really really scary tho understand that there's a lot of people that do. If not, they wouldn't be selling them.
These men are the forefront of the American Taliban supported by the right wing of this nation.

But some here think it's the middle ages and dream of ransacking villages and throwing the women folk over the back of your horse.
Subjugation for sexual violence is another level.

What is wrong with people?
PatSeg
(47,907 posts)I am trying to imagine someone making the decision to purchase and apply such a decal to their truck. Obviously, they are making a statement. If that is what they say openly and publicly, what kind of perverse thoughts do they keep to themselves? Horrifying.

The female one is disgusting and exposes kids of all ages to borderline pornography. There should be a law against such disgraceful public images.
