    Actually, I think the people that drive these tend to be too-far right to even know what a tankie is. The people calling you tankie probably drive, like, Priuses.

      The people driving these cars are more likely to call you an f-slur.

      Work as a mechanic and these guys are always the type to have right-wing bumper stickers and make their politics known to everyone.

        The one thing that I learned as a meth addict several years ago was that the likelihood of there being a gun in the vehicle and the vehicle being unlocked goes up rapidly and exponentially with every right wing sticker.

        Those stickers literally make them targets for car prowlers.
