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.

Classic victim complex. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well yeah. The white, able-bodied, straight, (presumably) male is the most discriminated against person in America! ^^/s

Halloween is coming up in a couple months, just saying.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ohhhh I've thought about it.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

Hence the quotation marks

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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)_/¯

Let's not conflate religion and morality.

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. People that go out of their way to plaster a bunch of xtian virtue signalling on their house, their car, their cubicle, their FB page, their body...are often some of the most immoral people I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Its nice when they volunteer to put a warning label on themselves so we can make sure we don't visit their establishments.

When you vote for Trump, you’re complicit in helping him to cover up his numerous crimes.

I’m more generally just assume that they’re stupid.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

It also tells any passing scammer that an easy mark lives there.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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"

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I am so close to pulling into these people's driveway and asking "from whom? Taking America back from...?" just to watch them not want to say it out loud.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s awful, shouldn’t be allowed.

It's political speech, protected by the First Amendment.

Today I saw a sign that read "Harris, obviously"

First political sign I've seen

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

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 work with a guy that wears a hat that says "I'm VOTING for the CONVICTED FELON" on top of an American flag. I hope every day he steps in a steaming pile of dogshit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Full of Lego bricks

Did Trump successfully make America great again? What's this about "keeping it" great?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Well the Supreme Court is already done. And they’ll keep half of Congress. So that’s already half of the supposed checks and balances.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Its been years and they still don't believe in "facts", over feelings.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sign for gullible dumbasses that are so stupid they can be easily tricked into being enraged at literally anything.

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. 🤔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

There's one like that near me too, he drives a Toyota Camry. I laugh every time I drive past it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

I typically see an overreliance on Facebook , cable news and talk radio.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

I definitely see that. Probably a sexist as well.

Don't forget rapist! And incestial child rapist! He's going for bingo.

I have seen zero lawn signs for any national candidates in this election so far. Grateful for it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

When Biden dropped out, I was stuck with all my Biden bumper stickers and giant Biden flags on my truck and huge Biden signs and banners in my yard and all over my house and ... oh wait, no I wasn't because I'm not a member of an obnoxious cult.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Font doesn't match. But otherwise accurate.
