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…

There you go.

You're so fucking petty.
There are many people here whose politics I disagree with. I'm proud to call them friend.

This forum? I'm surprised there's only one.
WTF? I'd be surprised if the majority there wouldn't feel that way.
"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.
Education is extremely important.

Well...There's a difference between disagreement and old-fashioned hate.
I have it on good authority that a family whose son attends Alabama will let their boy marry a girl who attended Auburn. If she's pretty, bakes good biscuits and can pass a virginity check...

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'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...."

TDS pushed overt, righteous hatred of the other political side into the mainstream. And, of course, neither side is to blame.
