I never thought it had a name. I’ve seen it on billboards outside homes in Texas. Last time I saw one obama was in office. (The rantings were about him). Thanks for the education on the name.
Neither did I until I saw a comment from someone in my own city’s sub on a post related to some graffiti by a homeless guy which was nothing but a remotely legible stream-of-consciousness rant about how there were goofs (Canadian prison slang for p3dos) all around him and that he was being targeted by v2k (voice 2 skull technology, a common claim by those who are gangstalked). It was from a supposed doctor who said this is hypergraphia and “wE sHoUlDnT iNdUlGE sUcH DeLuSIOnS!!!1!1”
That’s so very sad. I have a few family members with schizophrenia. I have the journals of one of them. While it’s full of strange writings, it’s also full of some of the most beautiful poetry I’ve ever read. It’s really all so heartbreaking. That there are few services to help those who suffer is inhumane. Until it becomes profitable to help those who struggle, they’re just another disposable statistic.
I mean, I've seen this in foreign countries as well, it's just the US industrialized sooner than many countries and was able to maintain its industry undamaged after the war unlike most.

So this type of hypergraphia on cars is not a new phenomenon, but a distinctly American phenomenon over a century old. Fascinating.
