The phrase refers to a type of adhesive label or decal, frequently seen in public spaces or on personal property, expressing political dissent. These items are typically designed to be affixed to surfaces as a form of visual protest. An example might include the image of a former U.S. president accompanied by text suggesting his absence or a perceived failure to address certain issues.
Such expressions serve as immediate and accessible avenues for individuals to voice grievances or demonstrate support for specific causes. Their prevalence often reflects periods of heightened political awareness and engagement. Historically, the use of stickers and similar media has been a consistent tactic for conveying messages and mobilizing public opinion.
