    There’s an old woman in my neighborhood that flies a “make liberals cry again” flag. Full on trump 2024 word vomit flag.

    When she passes away, the neighborhood will be a little bit nicer. Don’t need that hateful shit displayed on our street.

      I had one at work. Full blown Trump supporter who turns every little thing into a personal attack about Trump.

      Got fired for being a fuck up at work, then went on Facebook/Glassdoor to complain about being fired for speaking up.

          I have to ask - do they hand out Chick comics as a “treat” for all the kiddies to read?

          We had one of those in a neighborhood we lived in a while back. Kids knew to avoid like the plague after one visit to the place. What kid is grateful to get a preachy bullshit comic about Jaysus on one of the funnest nights of the year?

          Would not be surprised if they got pranked, too.

    I also see brainwashed. The conservative media is a well oiled machine of hate and vitriol.

    Most of them are hard “Christians” so they’re already gullible.

      … I don’t see anything religious or moral about these idiots. They would take over any decent religious belief and twist it into something ugly for their own benefit. Basically a rehashing of all religious history when you think about it.

        IMO if you can believe in a religion, you are a dangerous person. You quite literally believe in a fairy tale. Just as plausible santa claus exists. If you can suspend your critical thinking to that degree, what can’t you believe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Wise words. Unfortunately, they are conflated all the time in this country. Cannot tell you how many times I’ve been told it’s impossible to be moral without (their) god (meaning Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah). Also, this conversation often may end with a threat of violence - “if I didn’t believe in [my] [g]od, I’d kill you for being an unbeliever in [my] [g]od, but because of the Ten Commandments and being such a good xtian, I won’t!” kind of thing.

    I’m seeing signs out front and in windows of local businesses, and I sort of wish they’d just leave them up forever. Makes it easy to identify places i wouldn’t shop.

      These people have made Trump their whole personality so most likely they’ll still have some sort of visible identifiers, like bad Christians who wear the most gaudy crosses outside their shirt for everyone to see.

      One near me got into trouble for their “In Trump We Trust” sign, because it violated town codes. It was a BIG ass sign. I never need ice cream so badly I’d put money in a fascist’s pocket.

      Also… how does anyone look at that sign and not immediately see that it’s a cult?

        Other cult members. Oh, and the Enlightened Centrists and the Tone Policing “independents” that constantly remind us that it is “both sides” to blame for Republican behaviors.

        Yup. This is just like the days when the Yellow Pages were still a thing and people would plaster fishes and crosses in their section. You know, I think some people assume being a “good Christian” means you are going to be a good person, but that kind of xtian virtue-signalling in a business advertisement tells ME they are looking to fleece dumbasses that actually believe that and I’m going to steer clear.

      Since they will eventually remove the signs just write names and addresses down so you know who to avoid in the future. Most drunks, druggies and welfare scammers around here also have cult flags.

    My favorite sign is “TRUMP - Taking America Back”. Just needs a “wards” tacked on the end.

    We have a house with a Kennedy sign up front in our neighborhood. I just don’t get it. At least with Trump you get the whole cult of personality thing which can explain it.

    That one says “bonkers idiot lives here” instead of “racist lives here”

      I think both a donOLD sign and a Kennedy sign might signify that the owner of the house has brain worms, though.

    Using your lawn/property to advertise politicians feel like such an American thing? I’ve never seen anyone do that over here, in Norway. If you did people would probably think you were a weirdo, someone a bit too invested in politics.

      It’s awful, shouldn’t be allowed. That being said, I think I’m gonna put out a Harris sign this year cause the stakes are just too high and I want the support for the anti-fascist candidate to be clear and strong.

      What always blows my mind is when people get a big racist sticker, put it on the most expensive thing they own, and then leave that expensive thing unattended in public for hours.

      I always wondered who the signs are FOR, really. I mean does anyone see the signs and think, “oh yeah, I’ll vote for that guy/gal”. Do some people that are low-info just vote for the person whose name they saw the most on lawn signs?

      What they mean by MAGA is more racism, more homophobia, and women as property. They did make some strides in that direction.

        I seriously watched Dan Crenshaw try to claim, over and over again, while sitting next to James Carville on Maher’s show, that donOLD beats Kamala/Biden on matters of policy, and referenced the BS “mean tweets” narrative again.

        It was surreal. And he’s supposed to be one of the “good ones”. JFC.

      Maybe he was wearing it ironically to shame Republicans, and not because he personally wants to taste Trump’s shoe leather.

        He’ll make comments about how everything the Democrats say is a lie. I asked him to name one example. He had nothing. Then I asked him to name one thing Dementia Don has said that was true. “We have work to get done, I don’t have time for this”.

    I saw a dude the other day with his house decked out in a stupid red, white, and blue neon flashing Trump signs and he had a neon Trump, God, and guns sign with two ar15s on it and some other Trump stuff in the yard. Not a cult though. 🤔
