I think the OT decided bumper stickers were trashy circa 2011 so we can't help you here, sir.

Plastic razor blades (scrapper) - Cheap on Amazon.
Heat gun (blow dryer may work)
Gasoline to remove the residue

Heat up one end with the heat gun and scrap off with Plastic razor blade. use gasoline to remove any residue.

The idea is to soften the adhesive first with the heat. Then use razor blade to remove. The plastic razor blade will not scratch or gouge any paint.

This is exactly why most of us learned 30 years ago to not put bumper stickers on your car.

Attempts to stand out are not a “we” problem, but a “you” problem.

Tell my SIL that. She bought her Tesla “before he was terrible” and “only listens to Taylor’s version” in her truck.

Use a hair dryer to loosen it up. Then use plastic blade. I've also used an old credit card or gift card to help lift the sticker off. Didn't need to buy anything that way. Then rubbing alcohol for the residue.

Never tried this for a bumper sticker but can confirm it works great for dealership decals. Should work for bumper stickers as well

Soapy water in a spray bottle. Saturate the sticker, used a wood or plastic spatula to remove.

Razor blade, a few paper towels and Goo Be Gone will do the trick. Be careful with the razor blade
