The tattoo is problematic. Whenever I see it as a tattoo or a decal on a vehicle or some item of clothing, I assume the person who is sporting it is someone to avoid at all costs because they are probably in with the militias who use it as a marker to show they belong to that mindset.

Even worse, for me, is a shitty attitude towards women, in general, and not having enough respect or recognition regarding the rights that have been stripped away that affect everyday life (and death) for too many women. We are at least half the population. Anyone who can't demonstrate even respect for half the population is a major disqualifying factor.

Glad we have ranked choice voting and other options.
