I don't think it's fringe rednecks- 'Trump' is spelled correctly.

Cythraul: If I were going to troll Trump supporters, I'd do it in a way that doesn't involve vandalism.  Like, go around town obscuring Trump signs with Biden signs.  Or appending "Dump" on the tops of Trump signs.


My neighborhood is recovering from a windstorm thay knocked down a bunch of trees recently. Someone drove around town and changed all the signs advertising "stump removal" so they read "Trump removal"

TwoHead: KingOfTown: <csb>

Wife and I put a Biden/Harris sign on the property we own that her mother lives on. We came back three hours later and it was gone. I know it was my MIL. My wife knows it was her, too, but we got a smirky "I have no idea what happened to it" from the woman that sits on her ass all goddamn day on her overstuffed chair eating junk food looking out the window (directly at where the sign was) and watching Law & Order: SVU.

So, sure, it's totally not your neighbors/family/"nice Republicans" (whoever the fark they're supposed to be). 🙄

</csb>

Maybe time to replace the political sign with one from a realtor? Don't forget to smirk!


She's about to get five brightly-lit pumpkins spelling B-I-D-E-N across her front porch that are too heavy for her corpulent carcass to lift.

SuburbanCowboy: I hear so many people saying they don't think Biden has that much support because they don't see as many Biden signs as they see Trump signs.

People are afraid to put out Biden signs because they know that Trump supporters are going to target them like this.

That's the actual silent majority.


My anecdote:

I have a Biden sign in my front yard.  I'll be damned if hooligans like the ones in this article will stop me from displaying it.

And even in my semi-rural county, I've noticed a slight majority of signs are for Biden - maybe around 55%, which means a lot here in Red America.

However, several of the Trump signs are very large (the kind that require a truck to transport), so I guess that means the display of support evens out between the candidates.

During the Obama years, it was surprising how many people vandalized their own property with spray paint to register their displeasure.

Imagine living your life so scared of being yourself that you pretend to be a drone to fit in. 'Murica.

I'm not scared, son. I'm old and wise and well armed. It's a survival technique for me & mine. We're on the same side. Painting a crosshair on yourself isn't brave. It's dumb. I'm more of an undercover saboteur type guy that can blend in. A spy, if you will. Are spies cool this week?


I have a visceral reaction to someone that claims cutting their hair was somehow an act of bravery, and that being able to pass for a deplorable is somehow a admirable trait.
