Along with the "FJB" and "Let's go Brandon" merch, the MAGA dissemination of this kind of violent imagery far more real and persistent than Kathy Griffin's more metaphorical "head of Medusa" pictorial, for which she is still to this very day getting protest shit. There is a lot of "literally vs. figuratively" context we could go over here, but that really isn't the point:
Trump has been fixating on the daughter of one of his presiding judges lately. He's definitely done that sort of thing before. Trump has an obvious motive--he wants to terrify people who might judge him. He wants them to be too afraid to do their jobs. It seems that both women had online accounts that putatively were critical of Trump, but were in hindsight not validated. Were the fake posts a pretext for potential havoc?
What we are seeing here is a movement so rooted in giving a permission slip to violence that the sharing of this image is supposed to be celebrated, not decried.
Just recently, Trump went to the funeral of a slain law enforcement officer. All good--but it looks to lots of us as a political photo op--slain officer, see Trump, suddenly Mr. Law and Order, when he hates law and order as applied to himself.
He never gave one single fuck for the law enforcement folks fighting his little friends at the capitol on 1/6/21. As far as he's concerned, they were "pussies". Because they didn't come out for him, but for the law. And as far as Trump is concerned, he takes precedence over the law,.
So let me make this straight--Trump is never, never, never, above the law, because he is both beneath contempt and basic moral human reasoning. And history needs to see this sort of thing--him at his gutter lowest. Promoting violence against his political foe, because he can't compete on his record or his human qualities as a man--he has none!
There is no mask slipping here--just Trump continuing to be the worst person ever. As he has been all along.

It is time to be vigilant. Owner of that truck needs to start worrying about some crazy old v-vet rolling up along side and emptying .45 through his doors. My old 300 Savage long-bore if I can see that truck I can double-tap it
For a lot of reasons, I never even have a bumper sticker--but mostly because I don't want to attract attention. The person who has an image like that on their car clearly seems to WANT attention.
I think at least the Secret Service should be interested.
