Past a Plethora of Trump...

[Nakosis]

As I ride through town I see a plethora of Trump 2024 signs. I thought I saw a Harris Waltz sign in the distance but as I got close, it turn out to be an ad for roofing.

However, does anyone think putting political signs in your front yard is going to effect the election results?
I don't think I've ever look at the neighbors sign across the street think , "Now there some sound political advise.

Putting out a yard sign at all may have a bigger impact on you than the election. Having a sign (or signs) is like flying a flag for your favorite sports team. Everyone knows who you root for, and you may encourage other like-minded fans to put out their own flag. You may also spark a neighbor to fly the rival team’s flag.

Regardless, it’s all about expression, which Makse, a co-author of “Politics on Display: Yard Signs and the Politicization of Social Spaces,” called “the most important motive for displaying a sign.” Crouse explained that yard signs may allow someone who doesn’t “get deeply involved in any sort of campaigning” to not only express their opinion but feel involved in the election.

Are you one of those folks who express yourself by putting political signs in your front yard?

We put a "Harris/Walz" sign in our yard on Saturday. On Sunday morning it was gone. I doubt it had any effect, other than to annoy whomever took it.

I think it just advertises who you are planning to vote for. My yard is sign free.

There isn't much of this in the UK, where voting intention is regarded more as a private matter.

Despite being in a primarily 'red' community, I have noticed very few signs, etc., for Trump this fall. Harris/Walz signs outnumber them about 4 to 1.

I live about 40 minutes from Trump, so local support I suppose.

On my walk this morning, I passed a house that had a Trump/Vance sign in the front yard that wasn't there last time I walked past.
Moving on, the house next door had a Harris/Walz sign in the front yard, and that sign hadn't been there last time either.
It gave me a chuckle, because yes, I wondered which one went up first, since the other was most likely the neighbor's response.

Certainly do. Repels undesirables (I'd be happy to waste their time in conversation, but I tried this once and my wife appeared and told them to **** off!)

Well, ok fine. The joy of annoying another fellow human being.

It could've been a Harris/Walz supporter who thought you'd be ok with them taking it.

On the same street, there's also a house with this sign:

This was funny at the general election: We had just voted and were walking out and my wife said to one of the staff "It's a long day for you." They replied "Yes but hopefully it'll be worth it." So I responded with a thumbs up and said "Yeah, Reform eh?" Her face was an absolute picture!

The Wu-Tang Clan's song "C.R.E.A.M." is an acronym for "Cash Rules Everything Around Me".

Doesn't look like McDonald cheeseburgers to me.
