You don't think Trump supporters wouldn't scratch up a Hillary sticker or religious people wouldn't scratch up an atheist fish on a car?

Not at all. I don't know what's become of this country this election cycle, but the left have become the violent ones.

Citation needed when you make that kind of very broad claim about a population.

The violence is institutional and coming straight from the white house.

No, they really wouldn't, not nearly with the same frequency.

Trump inspires a special "rules no longer apply" insanity in far-leftists. They enjoy feeling like the normal rules of conduct don't apply, so they lean into it.

I call BS on that. There are nasty people with no respect for personal property on every political spectrum. It's honestly to the point where wouldn't put any political bumper sticker on my car at all, ever.

My personal experience with "far-leftists" as you would call them have been large peaceful protests.

Could be an interesting experiment, actually.

Agreed, would be pretty interesting. But good to keep in mind that the existence of vandal jerks neither validates nor invalidates any of the ideas they espouse.
