Political Yard Signs 2024

2024 political yard signs

My partner-in-crime, Polly, and I live on a main highway, Route 15, that runs between Defiance and Bryan in Williams and Defiance counties. Our front yard is a high-visibility site, so it is a great place to place political yard signs. Over the years, our signs have been both well-received and hated. Some signs have been stolen or defaced. We have also had people throw empty beer cans in our yard and Ziploc bags filled with feces. Countless people have waved at us when we are outside, giving us a “polite” middle finger “fuck off” you God-hating commie, liberal, LGBTQ-loving socialist. Sadly, this is what passes for political discourse these days. If my detractors would just stop by for a friendly discussion, I would gladly sit down with them, share a beer, and talk politics/religion. Sadly, a handful of people have knocked on our door, but all they wanted to do was set me straight or save my soul from Hell.

    The Trumpers don’t seem to be shy about decking out their property in MAGA paraphernalia. I think of it as “tell me you’re a bigoted misogynistic moron without telling me you’re a bigoted misogynistic moron”.

    One home in my neighborhood has a “Dictator or Democracy” sign in their yard. It’s set well back from the street, and they have some pretty pumpkins around it.

    A “Trump or Bust” sign alleared on public property at a busy intersection near me. The day after the debate, someone had stuck on an unflattering picture of Trump doing duckface during the debate. The next day someone had removed the unflattering picture. The day after that the Trump sign was gone and hasn’t returned. I’m curious if a MAGAt will try to replace it.

    In my neighborhood, a Trump sign appeared in a yard several weeks ago, then suddenly I noticed it had changed to a Kamala sign, the next day it was back to Trump again. I figure someone is pranking them. Regardless, it is amusing to check see which sign they have out each day.
