this is absolutely going to demolish turnout numbers among the people who vote based on which candidate has the most signs in their area.
The only real effect of those signs is to signal which type of insufferable dork lives there. Rolling with classic halloween decorations on the other hand projects great virility and the ability to throw an enjoyable barbeque
There’s a little cottage industry among philosophers of making versions of those “In this house” signs that feature all the weird arcane bullshit positions that philosophers have about weird inscrutable issues that professional philosophers care about and customizing them to whatever brain-melting combination of things the particular individual believes. That is 10,000 times less cringe than having an election sign. I’d rather have a yard sign that says “in this house we deny the analytic / synthetic distinction” than an election sign any day of the week.
I had a Beto sign and a local candidate sign in my yard a few years ago and then someone drove by and took pictures of my goddamn house. No more fucking yard signs for me!
I had a Beto sign
it was a fellow bear and it was probably posted here
Was I made fun of at least?
i assume soNIce!
I had a Beto sign
ReBr0?
Roberto?
So many obnoxious Kamala signs in my town, I actually let out a breath of relief when I saw a lawn with Trump signs. At least that person is upfront with their hatred.
It’s like if half our country was flying a Ukraine flag and the other half was flying Azov Battalion signs and they squabbled with each other over whether it was good optics to applaud SS veterans publicly yet
I assume the signs work on somebody right, or why would they bother?
You get them in return for a campaign donation exceeding a certain amount, and then the self-important voters love to let all of their neighbors know about it. Not sure that their affect on election results could be isolated but my gut says they don’t do shit compared to the constant pummeling of advertisements and whatever news source people are hooked in to
To let people know you’re the “right” kind of person
islam is when americans act like americans
They always do this. They can’t understand something being bad unless it’s asiatic or whatever
These people have been working their brains on overdrive for eight fucking years trying to decipher MAGA and somehow it just gets dumber every day
Could it just be a bunch of boat owning fascists with racist grievances? No… there must be some secret to unlock, how do the Russians fit into this?
“what are we, a bunch of [INSERT SLUR]?”
Sam Harris cultist brain. Not even once.
Every Westerner a fascist holds true yet again

I just found out that the biggest Lib I know is doing this to Trump signs.
OMFG who has the spare time for this? This person has young kids at home. Red or blue MAGA is warped.
They should all just steal each others signs and put them in their own yards as conquest.
Watch all the signs in the country swap places
Put them on spikes to send a message
I’m American but I’ll never understand the lawn sign fetish.
USAmericans are so normal
This unlocked a memory of my father driving through neighborhoods with my brother and I looking for political signs he didn’t like (don’t remember for who, but he’s a right wing shitbag, so take a guess) and telling us to run into their yard and take them. My brother got chased off by one of them and thinking back on it, that was incredibly dangerous, cowardly, and pathetic of him (my dad, mostly) to do. Who gives a shit about dumbass yard signs. Fucking hate that guy

Politics can make people insane.
lmao
This is a perfect example of how China and TikTok are a threat to the US. China controls TikTok and can promote a “trend” of stealing Harris/Walz signs so that idiot kids will do that and indirectly favor Trump. They literally have a horde of moron kids who will do anything that is put in front of them if it’s framed correctly.
This is why I sincerely believe genocide is our immediate future. These people think that their side can do no wrong and their “enemies” have no value.
Genocide is in our immediate present, and the folks on the sign are responsible

First they came for the lawn signs…

I think I saw almost exactly this take from Lemmyverse liberals raging against pronoun preferences today.

Was it just the Harris signs or did they also steal the BLM signs and the In Our America signs?
The political sign war is a perfect encapsulation of how incredibly not serious America is lol
