I see fewer bumper stickers of any kind here than I did in California. Way fewer. Of course, 85% of the ones there were boiling-mad red-state witticisms, and about 85% of the cars seemed to have them. Blue state, my ass.
Bumper stickers have really fallen out of favor around here in the last five years or so.
What you do see are the removable magnetic emblems that are mostly:
A High School
A Church
A College
Occasionally you’ll see and old Volvo loaded up with left-wing slogans, but the stickers are as old as the car - at least 15 years old. (Ex. - “Wouldn’t it be great if the Air Force had to have a bake sale to buy a new bomber and the schools blah, blah, blah…”
More rarely, you’ll see a bunch of right-wing Tea Party stuff, usually on a pickup. There’s one I see occasionally with a huge “Where’s The Birth Certificate?” sticker along with a dozen other similar but smaller stickers. You can see it from a mile away, which is good, because the guy driving is really, really, old and probably shouldn’t be on the road.
…various K-12 school sports boosters. “West Tompkins HS Lacrosse” and so forth. Forgot about these. But yeah, the mag-discs and such are much more common these days.
In our colony to the south (that’s northern Minnesota for those who are geographically impaired), Sven and Ole’s (a pizza parlor) and Jesus fish bumper stickers are not uncommon.
