These are quite common in these parts, UD. In fact, in recent years, virtue-signaling has become largely the province of the lefties. It’s quite safe to do. Virtually all of the vandalism of political or religious signs is directed against non-liberal candidates and causes.
Alas, Anon doesn’t see the difference between supporting science (or, ahem, actually doing it) and putting a bumper sticker on a gas-guzzling 4WD SUV, which according to “Science” is heating up the world uncontrollably, ruining the kale crop, and melting Greta Thunberg like Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz.
tp: LOL. Bethesda is so jammed with immense SUVs that that thought didn’t even occur to me.
By the way – I notice that in the “police activity” shows we’ve been enjoying on YouTube lately, the utterly broken down meth dealers and emaciated madmen and desperate swastika-face-tattoos career criminals that the cops stop often stumble out of high-end late model SUVs. Is America great, or what?
You are not kidding, UD. Some of these tricked-out SUVs cost $45-$55K new and $30K used. Even the low-end narcotics biz must be lucrative. Mind you, most of them save considerable money by not insuring them. Locally, I think that the high-end crew cab pickup probably edges out these SUVs for the dealer crowd.
On the environmentally-conscious front, a local gal managed to get her Toyota Prius up to 110 mph on the main drag here before she either lost control or something broke. She blew something like a .20, and there were drugs, although not in dealer quantities.

Being pro-science is virtue signaling! Rofl! Try harder.

Anon: Yes. I’d say much of the pro-religious world has long since cornered the market on virtue … ‘signaling’ isn’t quite strong enough.
Plenty of lefties virtue-signal, and it’s obnoxious; but friends of science? As Elmer Fudd would say, weawy?

Virtue-signaling bad, Vice tweeting and God bothering good.
Got it.

tp: Very encouraging news about the Prius! We have one – I’ll have to tell Mr UD.
