This is what we get to see whenever I walk out my front door. The house was recently rented to someone the homeowner stated is the "president of the Trump campaign". The lessee is a pompous lounge lizard looking guy who drives a really loud late model Ferrari. To me, a perfect representation of the core values of Trump campaign; affluent, self-centered, sleazy, crude and egotistical.
In my state you cannot restrict posting of political signs, but our HOA restricts the number and size. For those who cannot see what it says, The five foot banner states "TRUMP 2020 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS". I am not a prude, but really, there are children and families that are exposed to this too.
Yesterday I contacted the homeowner and he said he would take care of the situation and nothing has been done. Now contacting the HOA. So tired of this mess and inhumanity.
**Update** The HOA stepped right in. The property manager went and spoke to the occupant. He told them he was totally unaware of what was on the banners other than support of the Trump campaign. He added the banners were ordered off of Amazon and his property manager had hung them in the yard. Ok...
According to the HOA and city ordinance, only one campaign sign per house and may be no larger than 6 square feet, no banners and only flags allowed are those on permanent permitted poles. All that is in the offenders yard is a little "Trump/Pence". So happy that yard is no longer looking like a circus side show.

Hopefully the HOA will demand it be taken down for the obscenity, which is different than the political nature of the sign.

Can you even imagine if a progressive or liberal put something up like that? Fox would have a news crew there and mothers would be screaming from the rooftops.

I’m convinced! THAT’S party I want to belong to and support! I think they’ll really work for our citizens and our communities. This is what our country needs more of!
Good grief 😩

A neighbor is displaying a professional sign that says "Trump is a Vulgar Pig". I wonder where they got it?

I feel your pain. Neighbor down the road who I must drive by 2x a day enroute to work, has a flagpole right on the road. He had a trump 2020 No More Bullshit sign flying last year, but thankfully the wind and weather took care of it (yes I was tempted). Unfortunately after a brief reprieve, he hung another trump 2020 flag about a month ago. Hoping for just 2 more weeks of screaming F*ck You trump whenever I drive by. Hope the HOA took action!

Driving over to my daughter’s house, there’s a house with a yard sign that says “I’m a Republican, but not a fool. Biden 2020”. It gives me some hope that Biden just might win. One can only hope.

You mean like when mothers were screaming and sobbing - tears streaming down their anguished faces - on national TV because their children would be shown a “Welcome back to school, y’all” (precedented) broadcast from the president of United States?* You mean like that? Barack Obama would never countenance that kind of sign supporting him. His sin was wanting to tell children to work hard in school and learn. Now we let them practice reading by displaying “F^ck your feelings” signs. Lordy.
(*I do consider that a watershed event of sorts in our recent history. Speaking of “feelings”...and no pun intended with the “watershed.”  ) |

There's a huge difference between respecting someone and worshipping them. Can you even begin to imagine what the right would have been screaming if those of us who supported President Obama were flying flags in front of our homes that included his picture or curse words in 2008 or 2012?
I'm a true crime fan and I have had an interest in cults for as long as I can remember. But the last 4 years have made them far less interesting to me because the consequences of this particular one are so real to me. And so harmful to millions.
OP, I'm really sorry you have to look at that garbage and I hope the HOA takes care of it.

Our neighbor at the cottage has the F#$% Trump sign across his front yard, also. Two weeks ago, all the Biden signs were stolen from our area. I swear after the disasterous debate, the Trump signs multiplied like crazy. Dang. The neighbor across the street from us, my uncle, has a trump sign in his yard, that he carefully places after yard work, so it is perfectly centered in my picture window. Dang, can't wait for this election to be over.

That is a terrible sign to post in a family neighborhood! I hope they force the removal today.
We only have one political sign in my neighborhood. Well, actually a political banner. It is right next door to me and says Biden for President, which is perfectly fine with me. If it was a Trump sign, I might have to accidentally damage it somehow. I cannot wait for this to be over. I voted by mail due to Covid, and am almost afraid to see the results of this election. When I woke up the day after the last election and saw that Trump won, I kept looking at the page thinking it had to be a joke. I am really hoping that people have had enough entertainment from that fool and now vote to get the country back on track. I am tired of having the rest of the world pity us and tell jokes about us.

People have the right to put out compliant campaign signs. That one is vulgar and needs to be removed.

I saw that exact same flag the other day on the back of somebody's pickup going down the road. It makes me so sad that this is what our country has come to. It made me feel juuuust a little bit better that I was on my way to go vote that MF out!!

Well, we gave the homeowner/former neighbor time and the courtesy to contact his "property manager". Nothing has happened so the HOA has been notified. All my former neighbor cares about is making money off the rental and not the effect on the neighborhood. Selfish putz, what goes around....

I hope he gets a large fine too. I hope the HOA evicts the sleazy dude. Him and his vulgar signs and 2AM hooker drop-offs - whole other story. That will really make a point with the homeowner, hit him where it hurts. He was trying to make a quick buck at the expense of the neighborhood. |

My inlaws live in an area that is not affluent and Trump signs everywhere! Their neighbor made her own signs for Trump 4 yrs. ago! My mill sent pictures. It was awful. In our area, the wealthy are very pro Biden (although some do love Trump).

This is the sign that has just started appearing around my town lol I’m happy to say I haven’t seen a single trump sign - except when we drove into the rural farming communities of CA. This wins for me today! 100%! I just spent 24 hours with my tRump loving sister. It wasn’t “too” bad until she had a few cocktails! She began grilling me on who I was voting for! Then snidely telling me that since I said that I don’t discuss politics, I must not be voting for trump...well, Duh! A lot more ridiculous conversations occurred. I stopped talking when she told me that it was ok if RoeV Wade was reversed, because by the time either of her 2 beautiful granddaughters ( 2 & 4), would be affected by it, it would be reversed again! 🤮 I don’t even know what the ever- loving fark that means! 🤬 |
