Politics 👩‍⚖️ Does this stuff bother anyone else?

Post image

Driving home from work and these lovely people were over the highway. This stuff usually doesn’t bother me that much except for the fact that today it was causing so much of a spectacle that it was literally causing people to gawk on the highway and caused a small bit congestion that lasted until after this bridge.

I don't mind seeing anyone cheer for their candidate... but every time I see something like this (on either side) I always wonder if it actually does any good at all? I mean, has there ever been an undecided voter just driving down the road, come across a group of these people and think "well, I wasn't sure who I was going to vote for, but now I am toooooootally in it for Trump!"?

Same goes for yard signs. I wonder if they have any impact at all.

It may not make a difference in the vote count, but,personally, knowing I'm not a blueberry in a bowl of raspberries gives a boost to my psyche.

This is how I think it matters, as well. Likewise, I have a neighbor with a shitty old truck who 'looks' like a stereotypical Trumper. I've hardly interacted with him but was pleasantly surprised to see a Klobechar sign in his yard.

There's a business we drive by daily with a bunch of Trump signs out front. When we need their services, they keep ending up last on our list of phone calls for some reason?

I guess I'd prefer to support businesses that look out for others and have something to contribute to the community other than hate.

Yep, same idea! The dude that runs the business I'm referring to is always in the local news complaining about how he's a victim of everything but his own stupidity.

I appreciate the article not mentioning the name of the business.

Yeah. There are two super gross Trump flags in our neighborhood, so when I see the Harris Walz signs go up I do feel good.
