You ever pull up behind a car and instantly know how long that driver has been mad at their uncle from Thanksgiving 2016? That’s the power of the “Checkmark, Liberals” bumper sticker. It’s the political version of a mood ring—except the color never changes, it’s always blue, and it’s permanently stuck to the back of a 2010 Prius that hasn’t seen a car wash since Obama’s first term. This sticker doesn’t just say, “I vote.” It screams, “I have thoughts about NPR podcasts!”
What’s great about these stickers is that they somehow turn every parking lot into a political battlefield. You can spot them from across the Target lot, glowing like a badge of moral superiority. Meanwhile, the driver’s inside debating between oat milk and almond milk, fully confident they’re saving democracy one latte at a time. The “Checkmark, Liberals” sticker isn’t just a label—it’s a lifestyle, powered by caffeine and an unshakable belief that a yard sign can fix the world.
