Do you plan to display a political sign for the presidential election?

It's a challenge to maintain the U.S. flag when it's appropriate.

In Texas



Although the "yard sign" would then be my "property" I would probably refrain from the use of "deadly force," although my U.S. flags are a different matter all together. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Based upon what you posted, I imagine.

I don't do bumper stickers-- because I eventually want to get as much for my vehicles on resale as possible. I don't do yard signs outside of smaller races-- because I see no benefit from battling with neighbors on either side of the political fence.



The childish urge to "own the Trumpers" or "own the Libs" is just stupid in my eyes. It serves no purpose.

Edit: The only place I’ve seen Biden signs is in Mt Lebanon, which is FULL of them. Everywhere else sweet corn signs outnumber them, and Trump signs are on almost every house.

One can support a candidate without making it look as though the candidate vomited all over their yard, fence, roof, and car. I've seen some utterly ridiculous displays.

who said i was going to build a shrine in my yard?


i do have one neighbor with that classic "house divided" issue. one sign for Biden, one for Trump. i noticed they moved one closer to the street the other day. the way they had them before, if you drove west you saw the Trump sign and it blocked the Biden sign, same the other way if you drove east, the Biden sign blocked the Trump sign. so they moved one closer to the sidewalk.


i don't know these people, they live two streets over so they aren't close neighbors, but i'd bet the Husband supports Trump and the Wife Biden.

Nobody said you were going to put a shrine in your yard. I was merely stating that one of the reasons why I don't put signs in my yard... is because I just hate seeing the shrines. And more than once-- I've seen a person putting a sign in their yard-- lead to a neighbor erecting a shrine. It gets old.
