No matter what anyone says, we all judge other people. You may judge them by their attitude, what they wear, where they live, the color of their skin, or what sports team they cheer for. Nobody is immune to being judged or judging others. One thing that many judge others for is politics. Sadly, politics create a divide in this country and have ended friendships, relationships, and left family members no longer talking. This will sadly never change. When it comes to choosing a car, you might want to think it over because in Colorado people will assume you are a part of a certain political party based on what you drive.

Politics is a quick way to divide workplaces, homes, and neighbors. Many are proud of their political views and like to let their stances be known, and others try to hide their stance and views to avoid the drama. Without realizing it, the vehicle you drive might be showing which political party you prefer. According to a recent study by lemonlawexperts.com, 78% of Americans have judged someone's political view by the vehicle they choose to drive. According to the study, Connecticut and California are the states most likely to judge you, with Colorado being the fifth highest state most likely to judge people by their vehicle. So which vehicles represent which parties and which vehicle do many want to stay away from?
