    Default the battle of political signs

    So out in my area, Elizabeth, someone has been covering the roadside ditches with Hick and Biden signs. Yesterday morning when I came to work, it was obvious that the Biden supporters had been busy the night before as there were Hick and Biden signs every quarter mile along the highway for a stretch of road. Then when I went home after work those signs had all been removed and replaced with a Trump sign.

    Probably because I support Trump that it just made me LOL!!

    Also a good friend of mine called me last night to talk hunting but in the conversation he brought up that his Trump yard sign had been stolen. Well he has one of those ring door bells with video and got a clear video of the perp. Turned out to be a 13 y/o girl that lives just down the block from him. He and his wife recognized her so they paid the neighbor a visit. Got thier sign back. BUT the one thing that stuck out to my friend was when the 13 y/o sad that "Trump is a rapist!" Huh! mommy and daddy are filling her head with crap, I guess..


    Anyone else seeing the "battle of the political signs?"

    No Biden or Hick signs in our hood. Plenty of American flags along with Trump flags and Blue Line flags.

    Just realized, there are no signs in our neighborhood.
    in the last election about 2/3 Democrat signs with retired school teachers, young families with a real cultural mix, middle aged with older children, and a lot of entrepreneurs

    Just wondering how many people, if any, are either going to be embarrassed by what they thought or ashamed by what they said or did to their neighbor? I live in a small some what affluent mountain community in Colorado. A “neighbor” posted that the “Evil” Republicans (who are his neighbors) stole his Biden, Hickenlooper, Yes on Prop 113, signs. The next post is about how the “GOP’ers” are too stupid to be even “knuckle drager’s” but are either “right wing fascist” , “Enemies of the State”, or Nazi street thugs. The next post says that the police or sheriff should be called immediately because it is a “Federal” crime to steal these signs. The next post says that the Republicans have to be guilty because only Bad and evil people would vote for the “Bad Orange Man” . A few other posters came to the defense of the “GOPers” by asking how do you know it was “Evil GOPers”? Also that the Democrats might have stolen some Trump signs and torn up a Trump flag. My point being is that I do not believe that Biden is capable of being president and I truly find Ms. Harris to be a bad if not evil person, but I DO NOT HATE EITHER OF THEM and wish them no harm. Many of the Biden supports have embraced the victory at all cost and that those of us who support Trump deserve no respect or humanity!

    Nearly every sign in our area for Biden or Hick are in road side ditches, NOT on private property. I suspect that there are very few Hick/Biden supporters in the area, BUT that's not keeping someone from putting up lots of signs in an attempt to make people believe that there's support for the Dems in the area.

    Anti Seize or Prussian blue on the signs, applied in subtle amounts and areas.

    Not a fan of defacing or removing signs regardless of which side the sign represents. We had literally nothing but Trump/Pence and McSally signs for quite some time, then within a weekend all of them (the Trump ones) were either stolen or defaced with spray paint. Had the signs been Biden/Harris and Kelly, as much as I would have hated seeing them, I would have wanted them left alone as well. The Trump signs have all since been replaced, but still frustrating to see the destruction and hatred.

    Ford/Dole 76 and Carter/Mondale sign out.

    I view campaign signs just like bumper stickers.

    A left wing person can plaster their car with progressive bumper stickers and their yard with socialist candidate campaign signs and have 99+% confidence that NOTHING bad will happen to their property (theft, vandalism, arson).

    The opposite is NOT true, and in many areas almost guarantees a negative interaction.

    I prefer to be a "gray man" in our area. Even though we have many hard core lefty type neighbors, the only sign I see daily is one homemade BLM example and one person running for County Commissioner. Biden/Harris signs are very low concentration, even in Boulder.

    Lost of the same stuff is going on in my neighborhood. Many Trump signs and even flags have been taken. Even some thin blue line flags have been taken. One neighbor had a note written in crayon that on one side said "F*** TRUMP" and the other said Trupm was a xenophobe, racist, along with other things. Based on the doorbell video it was a teenage girl who left it.
