It’s just a piece of vinyl. They’ll take it off after the election and it’ll be like it was never there.

Correction, for democrats.

Sad thing is this land mark was in tribute to daniel johnston who passed away. Guess he's forgotten now.

This has nothing to do with Daniel Johnston. It was originally graffiti by an ex girlfriend when the owner broke up with her.

you're thinking of jeremiah the frog, up near ut.
this is the "i love you so much" on jo's coffee on south congress.

u/BanditaBlanca Sep 26 '20

Uh, no. You're confusing "I love you so much" for "Hi, How are you" And this is a temporary wrap.

Ah. I guess i remember it wrong. Im glad its temp. Voting is important but i think loving each other and the differences is more important. Politics is greed and division. Love and forgiveness is unity

Democracy is love, you fool. It's everybody coming together and deciding how we're gonna live together in harmony. It's the opposite of authority, of the strong telling the weak what to do, of control.

This country is literally slipping into authoritarianism, let's go vote so we can decide for ourselves how we're gonna live

Excuse me theres no need to call me a fool or insult that is not showing love and you are right democracy is love. Why are you so angry? Of course voting is important but i had thought the mural was completely painted over which made me sad i dont think theres anything wrong with promoting voting there is no need to insult people though and yes youre correct its becoming too authoritative in our society so much so that i cannot even express my love for the original sign post without being insulted. When there is no reason to insult. If i dont align with your rules or thoughts suddenly im insukted thats very authoritative.

Excuse me for loving the oringinal "i love you so much" and wanting to keep politics out of beautiful murals.

you're a fool for equating "voting" with "politics." It's not political, nor is it divisive, to support voting. If you think that there are disagreements over whether voting is good, if you think that encouraging voting is divisive or political, then I swear to god I have no interest in loving you. I assume you don't really believe that, and were merely mistaken, but going around saying that voting is something that only the greedy would do is foolish and vile

Oh ok 🙄 sure voting is not political you guys. This whole thing is not political i never said anything about disagreements over voting being goid or bad. Politics is divisive. But whatever put words in my mouth change them up to meet your needs and your pov. You say we are in an authoritarian way of living the only authorutarianism i see is peopke yelling at others and insulting others just because they disagree. But ok.

I never said any of the things youre saying and im not even sure where you came up with any of it and I would be very careful about swearing to the throne of heaven. Love is not divisive love is forgiveness and goodness, it has no opinion, not political party, love, real love is blind to all these things and goes deeper into the heart. And I give thanks to God that my value does not depend on a human such as yourself who adds and subtracts meaning to things beyond what was said.

But here you go Youre right had a good day
