    I can appreciate the sentiment - but I'd prefer keeping signage on property to a minimum. Regardless of the messaging her signage gives the property a nice trailer camp atmosphere that neighbors might not appreciate. If she were living next to you, would you want that quantity of messaging?

    Finally, regardless of the message, whether "f the Police" or "F Trump" or "F Biden" is just spreading hate. I understand anger, but something I'd rather try not to nurture and encourage in children.

      What is the point of putting signs up in your garden?

        No point as far as I'm concerned. I refuse to put any sort of sign or slogan on my lawn or garden. The only exception would be a realtor's For Sale sign. Certainly no political signs.

          I think it's stupid. I almost understand it during a political campaign. But to preach it at other times seems silly (and that's being conservative) to me.

          But, as I've said before in this thread, either you allow signs or you don't. If you do, why are some things more offensive than others?

          (Just a thought: Had this homeowner said the same about Trump, what do you think the odds are that she'd be fined?)

            I 've already mentioned the lady round the corner who had a Trump/Pence sign up in her front garden.

            After the election, when Pence refused to attempt to overturn the result, she covered the 'Pence' with duct tape. It finally came down a few weeks ago, but it made me laugh every time I passed it.

            I was only joking

              Sigh. My lovely wife felt the need to put up a sign for her candidate of choice in the last election. That choice was not the choice of the rest of the neighborhood. Our relationships in the neighborhood are strained now. Seriously. No rudeness, but people do have a tendency of hurrying up inside when they see me walking the dogs, because of course it was me that put up the signs… 🙄

                  "Socially and economically ostracize Trump supporters" was firmly in the mainstream of pop culture during his presidency, and remains so, to the extent Trump remains in pop culture.

                            I've never had any sign out until this year for a local election where one of the ballot initiatives was regarding "defunding police" which I found so insane that I felt a need to both put a sign opposing the initiative and supporting candidates that opposed it. The initiative failed and the pro-police candidates won.

                              It feels like this kind of violent disagreement where people get really personal is more common in the US than elsewhere I've lived. The UK went there during the Brexit vote, but most people are probably over it at this point. I used to work with a bunch of people who were really conservative, and we constantly gave each other a ton of shit over it, but it never got nasty, it was just what we call taking the piss, a great British pastime of course.

                              I feel like the US is moving in a direction where there's no real center any more. And, of course, both sides are blaming the other.

                              I was only joking

                                This Alabama guy gets married and moves out of his parents' home to live with his new wife at her and her parent's house. The next day he comes back home. His daddy says "boy, what are you doing back here?" The boy says "I had to leave her, daddy. She was a virgin." His daddy says "well I can't blame you there... if she ain't good enough for her own family she sure ain't good enough for our'n...."

The UK went there during the Brexit vote, but most people are probably over it at this point. I used to work with a bunch of people who were really conservative, and we constantly gave each other a ton of shit over it, but it never got nasty, it was just what we call taking the piss, a great British pastime of course.

                                  I feel like the US is moving in a direction where there's no real center any more. And, of course, both sides are blaming the other.

                                      I'll blame them. Hell, they deserve it.

                                      They've taken their politics to the bonkers point.

                                        Your politics are pretty bonkers from my perspective.

                                        Nobody thinks their politics are bonkers, obviously. But plenty of people's are.
