Normally I push it out of mind when I see trump signs or other crap on people's yards because they can put what they want in their yard.

But this one house nearby is on the same block as a middle school, & a grade school. And in their front yard facing one of the schools is a sign saying, no exaggerating here:

"ARE YOU TIRED OF SOCIALISM AND DEATHS FROM ILLEGALS AND DRUGS, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE BLOODSHED AND DEATH IS TO VOTE TRUMP."

There's more on the other side & the front, but there should be a limit to what actually insane shit you can plaster on your property right next to my favorite "won't someone please think of the children" zone; so I'll take a page out of their book for this one.

If you have an HOA, I would reach out to them first. Odds are better than even that the police officer you reached would be in support of Trump or in agreement with the sign.

I dont think its illegal to have a sign saying that. If i saw a sign that i think is truly abominable id probably just misplace the sign myself.

But i dont think you should get police involved.

Even in a purple leaning towards liberal state, yeah probably. It's an old couple from the 50s that lives there and there isn't an HOA unfortunately there

There's some disgusting projection going on. I keep getting political ads about how much liberals want rape and murder and how they try and stop police in the due course of their jobs (i.e. they take aim at the politicians who take aim at "let cops do whatever they want" laws).

Anytime it pops up on YouTube, I'll hit refresh or the back button until I get a different ad. But those ads run during commercial breaks when I catch the news on my lunchbreak at work as well.

I could just knock it down but it's a large wooden sign they had to plant down, I doubt they set it up themselves and it would take more than two minutes to remove

Calling the cops won't do anything. They can't just remove property because you don't like it. I'd suggest doing what most likely most of those school kids are doing and ignore it and go about your day.

Getting police involved could just make it worse, in fact.

Just dump a bucket of paint over the sign instead.

If it was just a vote trump sign or a blue lives matter flag it wouldn't be a big deal, but it says some pretty propagandistic fucking stupid shit on it right next to a school with 8 year olds going by often.

Unfortunate that people don't just keep their yards & properties clean of political advertisement, the whole point to the system is to not vocalize who you're voting for because it's made private to begin with. But yeah oh well

Honestly, do you think the 8 year olds are reading the sign and might consider voting for Trump? The sign is aimed at people who are already going to be voting for Trump anyway. The idiots who see the sign and say, "Yeah! Trump 2024!" and that's all they get from it before driving on and forgetting about having seen it at all.

The problem is they can read. If they can read a sign that says THE LIBERALS ARE KILLING US ALL WITH ILLEGALS & DRUGS & more in bold blue & red lettering, I thought we had communications laws that prevented people from advertising specific content to children. It's not hidden at all & I'm sure there's lots of liberal parents that don't appreciate something being shoved in front of their children like those assholes always complain about just because a rainbow flag is in someone's yard.

Yeah. And even if I can mimic a Republican & appeal to the children fallacy, but try to knock on their door or talk to them, they'd probably just try to shoot me out the window or something & I'm not interested in a gun fight.

It's not calling for violence (directly) so they have a right to have it on their property. As shitty as that sign is.

No clue if it violates any neighborhood agreement or something.

They definitely could see the sign and start bullying the brown kids in class. It's not like that's uncommon or anything.

If I took a photo of that sign when walking my dog again & posted it, 95% of people like you would see it & go "yeah that's too much."
My tolerance gets lower for conservative bullshit as the years go by & their destruction of America gets worse as time goes on, it says more about how apathetic people like you are about the current state of politics more so than me being annoyed at seeing it for another year.
