Possibly more disturbing than the Biden truck tailgate decal...

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.

I've seen the one with the bound and gagged woman. Can't unsee it. From a distance it looks so real, if I was a LEO, I would pull their asses over just to pull their asses over. OOOOOps, thought I saw something sir.

If they were pulled over enough times - it becomes a nuisance rather than a joke.

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

Pulling the driver over will not ameliorate the growing anti-feminist, anti-women trend in this country.
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.

The Taliban believe in an extreme set of religious rules with extreme punishments.

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.

Kind of like a car with dozens of right-wing stickers on it. If you see one, park a long distance from it. The owner is a self-described asshole.

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.

beyond the pale. The Biden one is a disgrace and a threat .

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